Pop Forum Song Contest IX: Celebrating pride!
Welcome everyone! This is my very first time in hosting a song contest on a public forum, so please bear with me from all the mishaps I'm going to make during the month. Before I proceed with a lot of details, let's bring forth the winning artist last edition -- Lilith Czar. She won PFSC VIII: Goes Rock with King, and has since released a new album named "Created From Filth And Dust" which includes this winning track. Below is another fantastic single by her!
In this new edition, we are celebrating Pride Month so the entry y'all be sending should be related to LGBTQIA+. It is a good time to recognise and complement all the LGBTQIA+ artists and allies for their hard work in their career as their songs often encourage us to become a stronger person and make us feel proud of ourselves. There are a few good resources that you may find useful in selecting your entry for this contest but you are free to use any other methods to search your entry!
Qreview LGBTQ Music Project has been a great and fundamental source of LGBTQIA+ new music for my charts and new music discovery every week. They have a playlist named "New Queer Friday" updated every Friday with a great list of songs by LGBTQIA+ artists. Maybe you can find a good number of great songs each week:
Most recently, Nettwerk Music, a music label that I follow, has released a Pride playlist that contains artists under their label (e.g. wrabel) and other famous singers. Their playlist is here:
Aside from the above, let's remind ourselves the veto rules:
1. The song must not have reached the top 100 in the UK chart.
2. The Artist must not have an Artist Forum on Buzzjack.
3. Any song that we feel is giving other songs an unfair advantage (eg, Sales) or somewhat fits the veto rules (popular on the forum) will still be vetoed.
4. For this contest, we are intrigued by artists that are perhaps not known outside of their own country. We want to discover the best of pop.
5. An artist will only get one entry per contest, so first come first served.
6. The song must not have been a top 20 hit in another song contest on the site. However, a song that has previously been entered into these contests (e.g. BJSC spin-offs) may still be vetoed.
The song must also be reasonably pop (how it is defined is at the discretion of the mods ). Do not tell anyone what song you have sent!
You may begin sending your entries until Wednesday, 16 June 2021, 23:59 BST (GMT+1)!
To confirm your entry, fill in the form https://forms.gle/QwJsDyb6ZYEi9ZTh6.
I hope I will have time to create a recap video for all entrants (with some simplistic editing so hope y'all don't mind!).
All songs sent to this forum can be found here!
Happy searching!

Placeholdered in case I forget to find something else! How fun
So excited for this!!!
I just happen to have something for this, so count me in
I've entered. Looking forward to getting one of my favourite songs represented by one of my favourite artists!
Oh I've sent something for this. Only the second time I've sent something!
I was planning to confirm after work last night but got sidetracked by the new fortnite update so now I’m just hoping my entry hasn’t been taken or else I’m gonna be spending forever to find a new one
I’m deadeth I couldn’t find the google link but now I found it I hate it here 😫😫😫
In the words of gay icon Rachel Steven’s in her cover song, more more more!
Great idea for a theme! Submitted a thing~
i'll be entering!
Time to debut
Just entered
14 entrants now! Keep them coming!!
I shall definitely be entering of course, just need to resist the temptation to break my self-imposed rule about recycling artists to send 100 gecs again have a look for a song as there's none that are immediately coming to mind!
This closes tomorrow!!!
Planning to enter! Will get looking
Last day of submission!! Remember to enter a song today!
Found something that I've very quickly become addicted to, confirmed
Jade confirming as Jadakissnia - iconic!
Omg oops multitasking fail
Sent a slew of invites to different Buzzjackers, particularly participants of the last PFSC who haven't reacted to this post yet! Hope you don't mind me bombarding your inboxes in the last few minutes but you're welcome to submit an entry tonight!
If I have time, I will try to get the recap video done before posting the thread tomorrow
Confirmed x
Confirmed!
I think I will keep my first one although its a bit basic.
I can't think of anything else more pop + queer, only indieish things and things that might suit other contests better.
We have a duplicate unfortunately On the other hand, there are more than 20 entrants but you are still free to submit a song if you only just saw this thread (or received my invite) until noon! I will attempt to get the thread up as soon as possible
i confirmed something a bit late oops - hopefully u can accept x
Cameron got my confirmation last night, a bit uninspired but I've had no time to search the archives
22 entries this edition! Thread up hopefully later tonight
