We here at Quick Stop Entertainment are true lovers of music, in all its forms. We’re also quite keen on the spirit of competition, and of spurring creativity through said competition.

To that end, we launched a brand new form of creative combat here at the Stop.

In this age of manufactured and painfully earnest talent contests, we’ve decided to instead shine a light on the quirky, quixotic underworld of musicians that don’t get nearly the attention they deserve.

Ah, but I did mention that there was a competition involved…

We have 25 slots open to any and all musicians across this here internet. All you have to do is be one of the first 25 to apply via the form below, and you’re in. This is a special, one-off HOLIDAY CHALLENGE. THE LIST OF CHALLENGERS AND THE FIRST TASK WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 1st.

Once those 25 participants have been announced, the festive showdown will commence.

Like a songwriting version of Iron Chef, the 25 competitors will be presented with a very specific songwriting challenge. They’ll be given one week to complete their songs – however they see fit, within the parameters set forth – after which time the entries will be uploaded to Quick Stop to be voted on by you, the readers.

After one week of intense campaigning and voting… well, something special will happen.

Oh, and what do we call this competition?

MASTERS OF SONG FU: HOLIDAY SPECIAL

To mix things up a bit, we’ll have our usual complement of very special Masters who you’ll be going up against in this edition of MASTERS OF SONG FU. Think of them as the iron chefs of Song Fu. We’ll be revealing the Masters on December 1st, when the Challengers are announced.

If you triumph, not only will you win remarkable (and potentially off-putting) bragging rights, you’ll be getting a special holiday treat.

Remember, you must be able to realize a song both lyrically and musically. This competition is open to both singer/songwriters and bands – but since space is limited, only enter if you truly accept the challenge. As stated above, we’ll be accepting the first 25 valid applications we receive.

Are you ready to bring your Fu? If so, fill out the form below:

Note: Competitors will be notified via e-mail of their selection.
If you have any problems submitting your entry via the form above, you can also e-mail the entry information to songfu @ asitecalledfred.com (taking out the spaces, naturally) with the subject line “Song Fu”.
