UPDATE: Contest closed! The winner was announced here.
Perhaps you remember the best music contest ever part I, when in January of 2010 we took on the stupidly huge project of gathering up a release from each of the artists and bands we decided were the “greatest” of 2009, only to give them all away to one lucky asshole.
Last year, some guy in Staten Island got a box full of 75 records, CDs and tapes. This year, we're looking to up the ante. From our selection below, we'll be giving away somewhere in the ballpark of 100 releases. Again, one person gets it.
So what do you have to do to enter?
Simple, just like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. If you're already doing both, then we love you. But you can also enter by simply retweeting this (http://twitter.com/IMPOSE/status/22662601653616640) and make sure to include @impose. This way we'll see it and put your name in one of those bingo cages.*
* We will accept all Facebook and Twitter additions between January 1-31, 2011. We only accept one entry per Facebook or Twitter address.
We're not simpletons: we will spot your fake accounts made solely for
this contest. The contest will run until 11:59pm on Monday, Jan 31,
2011. One winner will be randomly chosen by 12pm noon on February 1,
2011 and announced on this page on Thursday, February 3, 2011.
That's all you have to do.
Good luck.
