We have put out the call to all kinds of musicians in and out of Michigan, asking them to make their music available for use in your video.

As we get responses, we'll post links to the songs (and the musicians' web sites) on this page.

It's a great way to promote your band, and if you know of a song that would be perfect, feel free to pass this page along to your favorite group or performer!

Here's an idea! Tell folks that they can use tunes from your CDs that they have purchased.

Do you want to participate in the Challenge but have no idea what to make your video about? Here's a couple of thoughts to get you started:

• Think about what you love about Michigan's waterways. In fact, head out to your favorite river or lake with your camera and start shooting!
• Check the Facts about Acid Mining page and talk about how just one of the negative impacts would change things forever.
• Read up on the Great Lakes!
• Take a look at what happened to the Aral Sea.
• Check out the photos, video clips and music available for use!

If you have a great idea for a video that you'd like to share, just post it below!

Go to YouTube.com. You will need to have a YouTube account and need to login.

Click on the Upload Videos button in the top right hand corner. Now fill in the blanks: title, description, tags, and video category. Make sure to add the tag: savethewildup. On the next page browse through the files on your computer to find your video and select it. Make sure that under the broadcast selection you choose "public". After that, click the "Upload Video" button.

Don't forget to save your original video file - you will need it if you are selected as a finalist!
