DECORAH - Students from the Decorah middle school are hoping a creative video will help them land a $30,000 technology makeover.

More than 100 students helped in the spoof of Coldplay's Viva la Vida music video. Seventh and 8th graders did everything from writing, filming, choreographing, mixing the audio, editing, and acting.

As one of 5 finalists in the country, and the only in Iowa, the school is vying for a eIMakeover. The winner is decided by a vote, so click here to visit the contest website.

The grand prize includes specialized educational computers and software, $1,000 cash, and a cake party for the students.

Voting ends December 4th.
