Oh man, are you a sight for sore eyes. Hope springs eternal and with winter safely in the rearview mirror, we salute the return of the sun with another batch of Grandma's delicious, homemade Unofficial Music Videos. There's milk in the fridge.
The Top Five entires for the month of March are currently six in number, with a tie for fifth between equally deserving artists. Some may call it Bonus Content, but we prefer to think of it as Added Value. In any case, the online branding course is clearly paying off, big time.
Reminder: The top finisher for the month will receive the fabled Barclay Award for Excellence in Video Arts. Because trophies make it official!

Song: "Ignite"
Category: Vérité
Male sports fantasies never die and they exist seemingly regardless of cultural differences. Sometimes we need to be a hero, even in our own minds.
4. Producer: Guernsey Media
Artist: Pvris
Song: "Mirrors"
Category: Narrative
Another mercurial teenage girl wonders about her identity and romantic prospects in this fanciful bit of video introspection. Always remember, there is a diva inside every cocoon.
Therein lies a lesson for all of us: It's better to move forward and discover something new, rather then rest in your own nest and wait for the hate. And with that final challenge, we leave you.
