"Dig" will be the second single released by American alternative rock band Incubus from their sixth studio album Light Grenades (2006). The band wants fans to help create the music video for the song and they have started a contest called "I Dig Incubus". [1] Whoever wins the video contest, may have the video featured as the "official" video of "Dig". It has been confirmed by Incubus in a recent newsletter, that the top 5 contestants will be announced on February 1, 2007. Fans will get a chance to vote on a "Fan-pick" and "Band-pick", which will be the official video will be decided by the band.

Even though it has not been released as an official single yet, it is currently at #4 on the Modern Rock Tracks Chart, and has already gotten huge airplay from alternative rock radio stations, such as KROQ.

The 5 finalists' videos are as follows in no particular order:

  • Ramon Boutviseth [2]
  • Derry Schwantner [3]
  • Carlos "Kaamuz" Oliveira [4]
  • Matt Ryan [5]
  • Justin Hanna [6]

Kaamuz won both the fan pick and band pick with his animation. The video of the winner being announced will soon be available on the contest website. Ramon Boutviseth was the runner up and therefore won the Grand Prize. [7]

Recently MTV has added the Dig video to their video list and it is rumored to begin airing soon.[8] Also VH1 has begun to air the video.

On March 27, 2007, Kaamuz's video became available on Yahoo! Music. The final video was edited with scenes of the band playing the song.
