THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER.

Winners: Grand Prize: JessicaLey Runners Up: ParkerRaup & Skitzy

We’re teaming up with RED Distribution and Alternative Press Magazine and giving you a chance to write your hearts out. Of course we’ll need a sample of your work though, so this is what you need to do:

Pick up the new RED/Alt Press mini mag (you can find it starting December 22nd exclusively at your local Walmart. Find it in the music section!). You can pre-order the mag here (MCS cover) or here (Cartel cover)

Choose one of these artists and review their latest release. We don’t need you to go crazy and write an essay, just 200 words or less.

How to enter:
1. Join this group
2. Post your entry in the discussion board (only 1 entry per person). Remember 200 words or less!
