In a further celebration of Samurai Champloo's 20th anniversary, following the release of the soundtracks to streaming platforms, a new project has been announced to bring the series to fans in a new way: Samurai Champloo Video Clash.
This new contest invites fans to create new Samurai Champloo videos by combining anime footage with designated music tracks. Two categories have been established: Shorts (to be released on Youtube Shorts) and Music Videos, to be released on Youtube. The winner of the short competition could walk away with a gift card prize of $300, while the music video category entrants will be competing for $1,000 cash prize.
Winners will be placed on the FlyingDog Youtube channel. If you're feeling creative, you can enter the competition on the official Samurai Champloo Video Clash website.
