FYF Fest mixtape contest

Mixtapes were submitted for a contest as part of the promotion for the weekend's FYF Fest punk-electronic music event. Entries were required to be submitted on cassette tape, and were judged not only on the music and the recorded mix but also on packaging, notes and entire presentation.

In connection with the FYF Fest punk-electronic music event, promoters held a mixtape contest -- not a lazy drag-and-drop Spotify or iTunes version, but a cassette-tape version.
