Congratulations on opening the PJSC 97 thread! If you're new here, it's a big new music song contest just waiting for your bops, if you are new here read the rules below carefully, and try not to get confused by the side theme! The Main Contest 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. The song you have chosen should be submitted to the host of the contest during the submission period (via the submission link below), during this time the veto panel decide whether your song is obscure enough to pass through the veto into the main contest (veto guidelines can be found on the wiki) 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. The Legends Side Contest Alongside the main contest I will be running a side contest that's just a little bit of fun while the main contest ticks along, in the legends round you will submit a legends song i.e. a popular song that would never make it to the main contest, from any non-white artist - show of the POC excellence we know you've got on heavy rotation (think Whitney, Aretha, Vanessa Hudgens - all the big hitters). These songs will battle for supremacy in a sports style tournament bracket where every few days you'll get to vote in. This part of the contest doesn't mean anything but it's a good excuse for @Carel to force everyone to listen to Michelle McManus nevermind. This contests legends theme is Black Legends Matter (so any legends of colour, use your own judgement here as nothing will be vetoed, so pick carefully!) Check what legends entry have previously been entered by clicking here Submission Open Until 30/11/2020 23:59 Voting Closed - 1/12/2020 - 20/12/2020 Reveals - Weekend of 18th December

Can I send my main entry now and my legend entry later? Or at least send something that will most likely be switched during submission time
Just submitted something. It's a tribute to one of the users on this forum that has not been active for a few months. I hope you're well, and maybe you're reading the forum from time to time. If so - know that my song this month is for you. You'll like it, I'm sure... NB: we're one veto panel member short this month, with duck hosting, right?
Yep, that bit is set to optional, you can edit it later I'll dip into the PANEL INTEREST form, where you too can express your interest in helping the panel.
In other news @imaboyfriend has spent 2 hours this evening selecting his legends entry. And being a black legend himself Bear will be the tie breaker as per.
Given 'Pretty Little Mind' flopped so hard last round, do I try to avoid submitting a PJSC-friendly bop? OR DO I TRY MY LUCK WITH ANOTHER BOP?!
I've spent an hour choosing between 11 songs and finally submitted. Of course one minute right after I found a gem randomly on youtube and ... changed the sheet form. Hope I made the right decision
