Lady Gaga launches fan contest to direct new video

Lady Gaga is giving one lucky fan the chance to direct a new music video from her forthcoming album.

The Paparazzi hitmaker has been busy working on the follow up to last year's (11) Born This Way disc and she is keen to collaborate with one imaginative devotee to help bring her video vision to life.

She has launched a competition to find the most creative budding filmmaker via her LittleMonsters.com social networking website, where fans have been invited to upload their promo proposals.

A message announcing the contest in her newsletter reads: "Ever dreamed of directing a video for Gaga? Now's your chance! Gaga asked fans to submit videos demonstrating how they'd like to shoot her themselves, and one winner will be chosen to direct a video for her next album! Check out the entries and post yours today!"
