Crib Notes

CL’s Vibes section has something special in the works: You.

We’re reaching out to readers who are interested in being critics-for-a-day by writing mini-reviews of local concerts. All submissions will be posted on our music blog for other readers to see. The writer of the best mini-review (as judged by our editorial staff) will win a pair of tickets to an upcoming concert in Atlanta and the opportunity to be published in print.

Every week, the winning review will be published on our new weekly CL Vibes backpage, which debuts Aug. 6.

We’re previewing the contest by offering a pair of free concert tickets to the winner who writes about any concert this weekend and submits the review by 8 a.m. Monday morning, July 28 in accordance with the rules below.

Here’s your chance to make your opinion the only one that matters. (Read rules below jump.)

-Word count: Reviews must adhere to 85 words

-Deadline: Entries must be received into email inbox rodney.carmichael@cln.com no later than 8 a.m. Monday morning for consideration.

-Editing: Reviews will be edited for content and grammar.

-No profanity: Unless you’re quoting someone else.

-Time span: Reviews must cover live performances that took place in metro Atlanta the weekend (Friday-Sunday) prior to the Monday morning of submission.

-All venues acceptable: All concerts held at any size venue, club, house party, retail location, parking lot, etc. are acceptable.

-Byline: You must submit review with a byline to be considered. All writers will be credited for their reviews.

Here’s a little fine print: Readers do not have permission to use Creative Loafing’s name to curry favor or press passes from venues/performers. CL reserves the right to refuse submissions under all circumstances.
