Kevin Mazur/Getty ImagesUsher is craving some fresh, young blood.
No, he hasn't become a vampire. He's looking for an aspiring teen filmmaker to direct a music video for his new album, out next year.
"It gives me another way to give back, inspire young people and also reinvent music videos," the Grammy winner said in a statement.
Teens, ages 13-18, can apply at Got-Noise.com until Jan. 31. In March, 20 finalists will be flown to Los Angeles. They'll have a week to work in two teams directly with their star to conceptualize and create their videos. Both vids will debut in April, and fans will have the opportunity to vote "Yeah!" for their favorite.
Winners of the contest, sponsored by Body by Milk, receive Usher concert tickets, Apple laptops and editing software.
