U Rock 2, a unique promotion that gives fans the opportunity to create their own music videos set to songs from popular Disney artists and post their original videos on the U Rock site (www.Disney.com/URock). The most popular U Rock video finalists, voted on by fans, will win the ultimate rock star experience including a trip to Los Angeles, an in-studio “take over” at Radio Disney, a visit to the set of a Disney Channel show, and more.
This is the second annual U Rock event on Disney.com. New this year, in addition to rating and commenting the videos online, fans will be able to watch and vote for their favorite videos via mobile phone by texting UROCK to DISNEY (347639).
