Popjustice Song contest is a music contest focused on discovering new music, each participant picks a song by a lesser known artist or new discovery and pits this song against other unknown or new songs.

Submission/Veto

The song you have chosen should be submitted by the provided google sheet.

Your song will then be judged by the veto panel, if it scores 3 Yes votes it will go through to the main contest.

Voting

After the song list is revealed you have period of time where you are able to submit your votes, you should vote using the traditional Eurovision style points system (12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) with the top marks going to your favorite, and 1 going to your 10th favorite, and remember you cannot vote for your own entry.

Side theme:

Along with your voting ballot, there's gonna be an extra field where I would like you to share the song/album/artist you have most returned to during this quarantine. Either the one that perfectly reflected how you were feeling at the moment or the one that offered a little bit of escapism.

You can either just send a link of your song/album choice or offer some backstory about it. Whatever you feel like!


Dates:

Submission: 30/04 - 07/05
Voting: 08/05 - 20/05
Reveals: TBA

Oooo love the side theme! I feel like mine is obvious in my head, but I also wanna spend a little time thinking about it ddd.
Gotta figure out a song to send too.

 

Great side-theme, so many songs come to mind, but one stands out!

 

Let's go

 

A fantastic excuse to Stan Fiona Apple it is then.

 

Submitted. The song I chose may be the most interesting one in quite a long time when compared to my other entries.

 

15 entries and no duplicate submissions yet! Let’s see how long this will last! Ddd

 

Submitted! I went with a fun one this time. I'll be shocked if no one else submits it...

 

It's time to come back now, I know you're ready.

You better drop those songs in the veto sheet so I can see if any of these weasels has stolen my song while I had my beauty sleep

 

I shall as soon as Duckie gives me access :D

 

I can do it! Send me your email

 

Dropped the phone on my lip while rushing to submit and now it looks like I have massive cold sores. What a promising start to this round!!

 

Loving the amount of Berserky cosplay submitted so far! Keep them coming!! Ddd

 

my song has got

written all over it

 

4 songs from my shortlist have turned up on the veto sheet thus far. Thanks

 

Two vetoes so far:

Bree is an ex-Winner so banned forever!

I am pretty sure we've had Greyson before as the name looks familiar, but they now have around 14 pages of discussion on the forum!
