Have you ever wondered if you are awesome? More to the point, have you wondered if you can make sweet comedic melodies in the key of awesome? Ever since hits like Lazy Sunday and Jib Jab's "This Land" music comedy videos have been a staple of online video. Last year hundreds of hilarious music videos were posted to YouTube. And now we are here to announce the first award to recognize independent talent in this category.

Barely Digital and the music parody show "The Key of Awesome" are holding a Contest of Awesome to declare the Best Online Music Comedy Video of the past year. The winner will win a CAMEO in an upcoming Weezer music video for a song off their new album, Raditude.

That's right, a cameo! You can hear it from the man himself, lead singer of Weezer and all around good guy, Rivers Cuomo with our Key of Awesome star, Mark Douglas.

So want to know if you're eligible? Make sure to check out the contest site and to submit your own video of Awesomeness. Enter now! Submission deadline is midnight January 27th 2010.

12 lucky finalists will be chosen and announced on Friday January 29th and then voting will commence. We'll be tallying the votes from your peers and consulting our judges' panel (that includes Weezer!) to find the winner of the Contest of Awesome -- to be revealed on February 10th. So stay tuned!

The contest is part of the new show Key of Awesome on Barely Digital where every week a new parody song debuts from the mind of Mark Douglas, covering everything from LOLCats to Lady Gaga to the Jersey Shore. The series has been a huge Youtube hit and seen online over 15 million times since it's launch in October of 2009, and most recently the Jersey Shore music parody video was aired on MTV as part of a special.

Barely Digital is the follow up network from Next New Networks creator Ben Relles, who joined NNN after the music parody video "I Got a Crush on Obama." Since launching in January 2009, Barely Digital videos have been seen over 80 million times.

Alright so what are you waiting for? If you have created a music comedy video in the past year or know someone who has, nominate them now to be declared AWESOME!
