Column contest: ‘Last night a DJ saved my life!’

As a prelude to an evening on ‘Dutch Dance’, Academic Forum and Univers are organizing a column writing contest for students.

How does music affect you? Do you dance wildly to heavy beats? Does music unleash the beast in you? Do you get nostalgic hearing old songs? Are there songs that make you swoon? Can music transport you, get you high, or put you in a trance? We would like to see you take readers along with an interesting anecdote or a striking observation illustrating what music (not necessarily Dance) can do to you or did to you! And of course we would like to see you phrase that in attractive words!

Participate

If you are no older than 27, you can take part in the contest, even if you are not a student. The winner receives 200 euros, and the winning column will be published through Univers
