Highland Park Mixtape Contest

KCET Departures is creating a Highland Park mixtape—and we need tracks from you! Send us the name of a song (with URL from YouTube, if it exists) that reminds you of Highland Park, or even better, an original song. Include a 1-2 sentence explanation for a chance to win a copy of Artichoke's "Historic Highland Park" album, or the grand prize-- a $50 gift certificate to Wombleton Records in Highland Park. To sweeten the pot, Wombleton is offering a $5 off coupon (good for purchases $20 & up) to anyone who submits!

After the deadline seven winners will be selected with the grand prize decided at random to complete our 10-track mixtape, see below for contest details. Deadline: January 15, 2012

To Enter, submit via email to departures@kcet.org, as a comment on our Facebook page, or through Twitter including hashtag #HPMixtape with your explanation.
