In the spirit of the upcoming SXSW festivities - which are about to hit Austin like a massive Nazare wave - we have a new contest for all of you cari ITAL members. Siete pronti? ; ) This time we ask you to create your own Italian music playlist and share with the rest of ITAL members. This is a great opportunity for you to share with the world your taste in music! It is also a great excuse to spend some time exploring the vast world of Italian music, if you have yet to do so! Here are the 4 steps to participate in this contest:
1) Use Spotify or Youtube to create a playlist of at least 11 songs. The playlist must have at least 9 Italian songs. You are allowed to add two (or more) songs in another language if you feel that they would compliment your Italian entries. If you decided to make a long playlist (over 11 songs), make sure that at least 75% of your playlist is composed of music in Italian.
Here are directions on how to make a playlist with Spotify, or with Youtube 2) Share the link to your playlist in the comment section of ITAL's main page, on/or before March 6th!
3) Complement your post with a short comment in Italian, that helps everyone understand what kind of playlist you created and shared!
4) VOTE on your favorite playlist. The playlist with the highest number of comments/likes by March 19th
will be the winner!

We have a really nice prize for the winner that includes a $50 gift certificate to a local (Austin) Italian restaurant!
Plus! All participants in this contest will receive 1 bonus point on the in class-Composition #3 for the 611 courses at UT Austin.
