Radiohead Announce <i>A Moon Shaped Pool</i> Contest Winners

NelsonG · August 26, 2016

Earlier this year, Radiohead hosted a worldwide streaming event to celebrate the vinyl release of their album A Moon Shaped Pool. The event was held at 350 independent record stores around the world, and event attendees were able to submit their names for a prize competition. There were six prizes available to individuals and one prize available to a participating record store. Today, the band took to Twitter to announce the winners of the contest. The prizes included a 35mm print of Paul Thomas Anderson’s video for “Daydreaming,” a limited edition screen print of Stanley Donwood’s “Wraith” (the album’s cover art), a special Radiohead disc inscribed with the name of the lucky record store, and a set of one of a kind figurines that appeared in the music video for “Burn the Witch.”

Below you can watch a video the band posted with the prizes and the names of the prize winners. The video features one of the figurines from the “Burn the Witch” video pulling the names of the winners from a bush. You can find more details about the prizes here.

Last month, Edward Norton held a contest that offered two fans the chance to watch Radiohead’s show at Madison Square Garden with him and his friends.
