Filmmakers can win a chance to create a short film which will accompany a new Radiohead song.

The British band has been sharing vignettes with each of their songs from their latest album A Moon Shaped Pool on Instagram.

The previous entry, which was for the song ‘The Numbers,’ was directed by Grant Gee and was filmed in Port Talbot, Wales. Director Gee helmed the 1998 Radiohead documentary Meeting People Is Easy.

Radiohead is now asking fans to complete the set and create a film for the track ‘Daydreaming.’

The iconic band, responsible for groundbreaking albums such as The Bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows, have released a new one-minute audio for the song.

Featuring fresh string arrangements which weren’t included on A Moon Shaped Pool, the new version of the song is available to download. On their official website, the group are asking filmmakers to “complete Radiohead’s series of vignettes.”

The message on the site reads: “Download the music on the link an submit your video with the hashtag #RHVignette on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Radiohead will select their favorite and post on Radiohead.com.”

You can download the new audio here and the closing date for entry is July 30.

Radiohead is one of the most influential musical acts in the history of popular music, having sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

A Moon Shaped Pool, their ninth studio album and first since 2011’s King of Limbs, was released in May and has received universal acclaim from critics. ‘Daydream’ has a music video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson:
