Yes, not a very original idea, but here it is, the PJXtra Vault thread....

PJXtra is an online song contest in the vein of PJSC, PJRetro and PJ00s, but with a twist: you can submit a 21st century non-English song, which:
As stated above, a winning language is banned for the next round only.
Above rules have been tweaked a little over the past few rounds, and some rounds have a special theme, but above are the 'basic' rules for each round.
Each round, once the list of successful songs is published, you listen to them all, choose your favourite ten and allocate points as follows:
12 points : your favourite song of the contest
10 points : 2nd place
8 points: 3rd place
7 points
6 points
5 points
4 points
3 points
2 points
1 point
Please keep your ballots secret, sharing them only with the host(/s) who will reveal the results once voting closes. You are unable to vote for your entry and any non-voters have their final total halved!
The aim is to have PJXtra run 6 times a year, with rounds ending in the first week of:
February
April
June
August
October
December: Annual Easy Round: the top 3 rule does not apply, except for the official UK & US charts

PJXtra is an online song contest in the vein of PJSC, PJRetro and PJ00s, but with a twist: you can submit a 21st century non-English song, which:
- is sung in any language other than that of the winning song from the most recent PJXtra contest and features less than 20% approximately of English lyrics.
- hasn’t charted in the top 3 anywhere in the world and isn’t a Eurovision Song Contest entry (non-qualifying national final songs are eligible).
- is performed by an artist with 30 pages or less of dedicated discussion on the Popjustice forum & didn’t participate in the most recent PJXtra competition.
- hasn’t previously been entered into either PJSC, PJ00s or PJXtra.
- if it is a cover version, is subject to certain criteria including if the song being covered is already famous/successful.
As stated above, a winning language is banned for the next round only.
