Create a video for Dove nominee Jonny Diaz

Jon­ny Diaz wants you to cre­ate a video for his new sin­gle, “Stand For You.” He gave up a career as a base­ball play­er to con­cen­trate on music. (Pho­to spe­cial to The Den­ver Post)

Are you a clos­et video­g­ra­ph­er? A movie-mak­er? Get your cre­ative juices flow­ing by putting your ideas to film for Dove Award nom­i­nee Jon­ny Diaz.

Diaz, who is up for the New Artist of the Year Award, wants YOU to cre­ate a video for his new sin­gle “Stand For You.” Here’s a link to his web­site and how to enter the con­test.

Jon­ny also has a YouTube video about the mean­ing of the song. Basi­cal­ly it’s that, “We live in an amaz­ing coun­try that was found­ed on Chris­t­ian prin­ci­ples that can be found in the word of God,” and that those val­ues have been watered down. And that as Chris­tians we must be bold and stand up for our coun­try and those val­ues.

Diaz’s first sin­gle — “More Beau­ti­ful You” – off his first CD with INO Records is mak­ing its rounds on main­stream radio and the Inter­net and has hit the top 30 on the Bill­board main­stream AC charts.

I had an oppor­tu­ni­ty to chat with Jon­ny last spring at the Dove Awards and here’s a link to a sto­ry I post­ed on the for­mer base­ball play­er.
