The webcast is hosted by CreativeAllies.com, an online design community that lets anyone submit art in official design contests for high-profile artists like Jack Johnson, M.I.A., OK Go, Amanda Palmer, and Thievery Corporation.
Costa is hosting his own design contest on Creative Allies, inviting fans to make a custom snowboard design. The winning ally will receive a $350 licensing prize and a Snowboard featuring their graphic, and three runners up will receive a Matt Costa autographed CD.
For Friday’s live webscast, Costa will take the stage at 1 p.m. PT/ 4 p.m. ET, so be sure to tune in!! The webcast will be filmed by students at Ex’pression College for Digital Art and simulcasted on Ustream.
Matt Costa’s third album, Mobile Chateau comes out next Tuesday 9/21. Check out this bit in ReadyMade Magazine, and stream the album pre release at SoundCloud.
