  • (1888PressRelease) August 21, 2024 - Invictus Media Arts and Whiskaz Music are thrilled to announce the launch of the Country of Oz Video Challenge and the release of the highly anticipated soundtrack. This unique opportunity invites videographers and artists to showcase their creativity and become partners in our latest project.

    About the Soundtrack:
    The “Country of Oz” is a country musical based on the beloved book “The Wizard of Oz.” Created with the Udio AI music generator, the soundtrack features 21 tracks that blend country music with the enchanting story of Oz. The first track, “Dust Bowl Dreams,” has already been released on major platforms like Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

    However, after discovering Audius, we decided to shift our strategy. Audius offers higher viewership to monetization potential and aligns with our commitment to web3 platforms. As a result, we are removing YouTube from our strategy due to the challenges with Google verification and the potential of web3 platforms for artists and fans.

    About Michael Antonio: At 51, Michael Antonio has always dabbled in music, web marketing, and content creation. After leaving his underground hip hop group of over 10 years, he embraced digital technology leading to A.I., creating stunning images and music. Inspired by “The Wiz,” he combined his new love of country music with the Wizard of Oz story, resulting in the “Country of Oz” soundtrack.

    Release Strategy:
    Using Ditto Music Distribution, Michael Antonio will release the music to all subscribers of music streaming services on Saturday, August 24, 2024. However, to show our commitment to web3, the soundtrack will first be available for free on Audius Music Streaming service on Thursday, August 22, 2024. Audius is a free streaming platform that will feature free downloads as well. This strategy aims to commit to web3 platforms and increase value for video partners ODYSEE, Rumble, and BitChute, which offer crypto and rewards for participation.

    Country of Oz Video Challenge:
    Participants are invited to create a music video for one of the 21 tracks from the soundtrack. The winner will own 50% of the music video and earn 50% of all earnings made on the video across every platform. Additionally, the winner will own 50% of any NFTs created as a partner on the music video project/soundtrack, including images used for merchandise (digital and physical).

    Contest Details:

    Announcement Date: August 24, 2024 (Music Release Day)
    Submission Deadline: October 5, 2024 (6 weeks) or October 19, 2024 (8 weeks)
    Winner Announcement: One week after the submission deadline

    Submission Guidelines:

    Create a music video for the entire song (intro and outro optional).

    All submissions will be viewable on ODYSEE, Rumble, and BitChute after the challenge. We are moving away from big tech companies and embracing decentralized web3 platforms.
