2020 Anthem

2020 probably hasn’t been what any of us had in mind when planning our New Year resolutions—but it has been a year of growth and change. To help us come to terms with they way our years have turned out so far, we're turning to music. Make the case for your 2020 anthem: the one song that perfectly sums up your year so far, or has been on repeat getting you through some of the difficult times, or has made you hopeful that 2021 will be a brighter year. Enter the Challenge and tell us why when you look back on the year, this song is the one that will remind you of where you were in 2020.

For your story to be considered, please embed your song in the body of your story (we want to give it a listen!) For more on how to embed media, take a look at this guide.

For your story to be eligible, it must be between 600 and 5,000 words and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Stories published on Vocal and entered into the contest up until July 9 2020, at 11:59 PM EST will be entered for consideration. Official Rules for the Challenge can be found here.
