Tis The Season: Pure Pop’s Year Enders!

yearender-lists

Here we go again folks, back another year for our 4th (or 5th?) annual And Pure Pop Year Enders! And as with last year, you’re all invited to submit your lists! Because of last year’s overload of submissions and because you never start a sentence with “because”, we’d like to lay out a few ground rules to help keep things organized.

  • Your year ender should be relevant to Music, music culture and/or pop culture.
  • Your list should be not more than a top 5 (short and simple.)
  • Your review should contain at least 2 descriptive sentences / explanation for why you picked said year ender list item.
  • Each list item should contain both artist name and title, where applicable, if it’s a film list – film title, maybe director… use your best judgement.
  • Who you are. Name, Age, Location, Occupation, social security number and images you want to include… your cat, etc.

Submissions will be accepted until December 31st, and a full submission* will be chosen at random to win a Pure Pop Gift Certificate!

*Full means, fill out the complete form, don’t be a slacker, you slacker.
