There’s a rumble in the distance… small children are running away terrified… some old folks are saying that must mean the AGK is coming… we need to show courage and we need some crazy ideas…

WE NEED MORE KARAOKE VIDEOS!

Since 2010 the AGK has attracted the brightest and best artists from across Scotland and beyond, all competing for the coveted prize. It’s a karaoke night where YOU make the videos. Its a karaoke video competition! Some of you will just want to make a simple, beautiful video and perform it by yourself. Others might have high concept ideas, direct a spectacular CGI fest and choreograph a team of performers around it. Some will be shy and just want to make a video that is so tremendous it will have the audience fighting over the right to sing it. The AGK has room for them all!

FREE DEADLINE 14th OCTOBER

We’re delighted to announce that this year we’re teaming up with NEoN, and the AGK will be part of the 2013 NEoN festival. The AGK will be held in Dundee on Saturday the 9th of November, and we need your video by October 21st at the latest.

£10 PAID DEADLINE 21st OCTOBER

The AGK champ gets all the fame and glory, and they get £300 too. Yes three whole hundred pounds! A whole £50 more than You’ve Been Framed offers for mistreating animals or children on video! More prizes will also be up for grabs, so watch this space.
Even if you're still feeling shy of ideas, don't fret! The AGK Archive has all the incredible videos from the last three years! Have all your queries answered at our AGK Helpdesk on Facebook! Check for regular updates on Twitter! We'll be all over the interwebs with 2013's most essential event: the AGK!
