Born To Be Lady Gaga’s Blogger

Anybody can call themselves a blogger but only a select number of fans will win the chance to go backstage at one of Lady Gaga’s shows as one of her Little Local Monster Bloggers.

The contest, which is sponsored by Virgin Mobile, is open to Lady Gaga fans, video journalists and bloggers 18 years of age or older.

Nine winners will be chosen, with each winner covering one of nine select dates on Gaga’s 2011 Monster Ball tour.

The contest tour stops include Las Vegas (March 25); Phoenix (March 26); Los Angeles (March 28); Houston (April 8); New Orleans (April 9); Miami (April 13); Atlanta (April 18); Nashville (April 19); and Uniondale, N.Y. (April 23).

Winners will get to go behind the scenes to “assist, interview and document.”

To enter the contest fans must submit a 1-2 minute video on YouTube proving why they should be chosen to represent their city as the Local Monster Blogger.

Videos (which should be tagged with your city’s name along with the key words: virginmobile, ladygaga, talenthouseusername, talenthouse, littlemonster) must be submitted by March 7.

Fans will have the chance to vote for their favorite videos between March 8-15. Virgin Mobile representatives will make the final selection from the videos that receive the highest votes for each show. The nine winners – who will be selected based on talent, originality, writing ability, style and creativity – will be announced March 17 at 10 a.m. PST. Winners must provide their own transportation, accommodations and other expenses.

Lady Gaga performs on Saturday at Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall. North American dates are on the books through early May.

The pop star is touring in support of her upcoming album, Born This Way. Her sophomore album, which features the No.1 hit “Born This Way,” is scheduled for release May 23 on Interscope.
