Sufjan -Themed Holiday Playlist Contest
Nothing quite sets the holiday mood like a Sufjan-themed holiday playlist.
To participate, create a playlist on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or your favorite streaming platform that includes 10 tracks: 5 original Sufjan holiday songs plus 5 classic/traditional Sufjan holiday songs. Any of Sufjan's music on Songs for Christmas and Silver and Gold will be a great fit!
Give your playlist a creative, original title and make sure it's set to public and shareable. Feel free to include playlist cover art if you'd like. Once complete, submit your playlist link via this form, for your chance to have your playlist featured as a weekly Artist Pick and reshared on AKR and Sufjan's Instagram Stories.
Deadline for playlist submissions: Monday, December 8th at 5pm ET
