The folks over at Edward’s Meadow, the site that hosts the annual Twilight Battle of the Bands, has spearheaded a campaign to raise money for Japanese disaster victims. Here’s what they wrote in to tell us:

Just wanted to let you know that we at Edward’s Meadow of have teamed up with Sstaria (our 2nd place winners from the Battle of the Twilight Bands III) and www.blingandbaubles.com to start a new contest, the Twihards 4 Japan giveaway! We have tons of cool prizes that we’ll be giving away over the next six weeks! To enter, you need to donate at least $1 to our Twihards 4 Japan fund on PayPal, which will later be sent to the American Red Cross to help the earthquake/tsunami victims in Japan. Here is the link to the contest: http://www.edwardsmeadow.com/twihardsforjapan.html

The folks at Edward’s Meadow who each year put on the Twilight Battle of the Bands contest have a music video they put together featuring Florence and the Machine’s Heavy In Your Arms. It covers the whole saga, not just one book or movie.

Edward’s Meadow is doing their annual Battle of the Twilight Bands. This was a HUGE hit last year. According to their site:

“The Battle of the Twilight Bands is a contest where all Twilight fans, both full fledged bands and single song writers, that have written a Twilight related song can send it in to compete against other song writers. We will be excepting entries until November 2nd. On November 4th, we will post all the entered songs along with a poll where Twilight fans can vote for their favorite song! Whoever gets the three highest ratings will win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!

Prizes include free merchandise from Essence of Twilight , and wallpapers with Stephenie Meyer and Robert Pattinson’s signatures! We will also be making a CD with the three winning songs and sending it to Stephenie!”
