Community Playlist Competition [CLOSED]

[This competition is now closed. Thanks to everyone who took part!]

 

Hello everyone!

 

We're pleased to announce our very first Community competition. Enter, and you stand a chance of winning a pair of exclusive 'Spotify green' Urbanears headphones. Surely a must-have for your summer wardrobe, as modelled by our office mascot, Phillipe, below.

To win, you'll need to get a bit creative. Use your imagination to come up with a playlist that tells a story, poem or something else entirely. Check out spotifypoetry.tumblr.com for the kind of thing we'd like to see. We like surprises too.

 

Just post the playlist in this thread. The preferred method of entry would the the playlist's HTTP code, so we can view it in our Spotify. Just right click on the playlist title in your Spotify, click on 'Copy HTTP code', and post below.

 

We'll then draw up a shortlist to let everyone vote on the top five to decide the overall winner.

The deadline for entries closes on 20/6/2012 and we'll post the shortlist soon after.

 

Good luck!

 

Rules:
1. One entry per person
2. Only entries received before 20/6/2012 at 18.00 CEST will be counted.
3. Spotify employees will decide which playlists go into the final poll.
4. Whoever receives the most votes in the poll at 16.00 CEST on 22/6/2012 will win the headphones. In the event of a tie, Spotify employees will judge the winner.
5. Any unsportsmanlike behaviour (breaking rules, cheating on poll) will result in disqualification.

thegingerprince - I'm afraid it's one entry per person. Which playlist would you like to enter?

Though 2012 is the more extensive and fully rounded playlist i believe the 2012 - love and warfare fits the brief more so i will go with that one.

Entered!

Hi Richard,

 

With all due respect, the final playlists -- while quirky and fun -- really have nothing to do with musical curation.  There's a reason none of those playlists have any subscribers.  They don't really show a musical point of view.  The only thing that it shows is that the playlist creators were good at putting together interesting song title names.

 

How about a playlist competition that is music based.  Sure you can create a poem based out of the songs names, but the playliist song name order shouldn't tell the story -- the order of the actual MUSIC should tell the story.  Kinda like the idea of a DJ when he prepares a set.  It should have a flow -- a musical style and a beginning, middle, and end.

 

Not trying to sound like a sore loser (which I am).  And I like the idea of the competition, because I actually discovered some good playlists as I read through other contest submissions.  But maybe next time you can do something that is based on musical taste + poetry.  Not just poetry alone.

 

Thanks....
