Sat 27 Aug - 8.30 p.m. (doors open at 8 p.m.) - Pohjankartano Concert Hall (Suvantokatu 1) - Entry fee 15 €
Pumpeli Award Gala is known to surprise and dazzle its audience by serving obscurity and hilarity in just the right measures. This gala is by far the best-kept secret of the Northern city of Oulu. What will happen in the gala will only be revealed to those daring enough to come and find out for themselves. The Pumpeli Award Gala will be celebrated on Saturday 27 August 2011.
Pumpeli Award Gala Presents the Best Videos
The
preliminary jury of the Finnish Music Video Contest selects the videos for approximately
10 contest screenings, depending on the number of videos submitted. These
videos participate in the contest for the main prizes: the Golden Pumpeli and
the Teen Pumpeli awards along with honorary mentions. However, all the videos
will be admitted to a Finnish Music Video Showcase and compete for the audience
award, the People's Pumpeli.
An international and independent jury consisting of professionals and consumers
of audiovisual media will select the best videos from the contest screenings.
The directors of the best videos will be awarded with Pumpeli statuettes. What
is more, OMVF will present the director of the best video with a monetary award
of 2,500 euros. AVID also awards the promising
young director with Avid Media Composer editing software.
To get a hint of the Pumpeli art, please check the performance of Mr. M.A. Numminen Oulu and it's Music Video from the year 2008.
