Official Have You Met ___? Event (2 Viewers)

[Panda]

Welcome to the "Have You Met ___?" Event!!!
Revised 10/21/24

You all may wonder a few things...
...what's this event about?
...can I win something?
...did they take this from the show "How I Met Your Mother?" It's definitely a yes to this one.

But, seriously, let me explain:
"Have You Met ____?" is an event where users who are stans of lesser known artists get the opportunity to promote their favorite artists for a whole month on KpopSource. This promotion would not only include a banner on the main page of the site, but also for it to be tied to your dedicated artists thread!
Sounds amazing, right? The best part of this: this will be a routine event (similar to UOTM) and will be happening every month with new artists displayed constantly on KS!

Submit an Artist

1. In order to be considered for your artist's promotion, you will need to make a thread in one of the following sections: K-Chill / Japan / China / Thailand / Planet Earth. This would be an appreciation thread about your artist with some basic information (this does not have to be extensive), unique reasons why other people should stan your artist, and any other things that you feel like would be appropriate. I want to highlight this: this is a competition in the end, thus, the prettier, more organized, and more interesting the thread is, the higher is the chance of winning.

2. Fill out the form below to submit your nomination:
Submissions are open from the 1st to 21st for each month. Any artist submitted after the period are not considered.

Afterwards, the Events team will sit down and evaluate all of the submissions and pick a winner for the next promotion period based on the quality of the thread and presentation of their artist!
However, as you can see by the last option: in the case that you do not win this promotion period, your thread can be reentered at a later time for another chance to win the promotion. We added this option as we have realized that those who put extensive work into their threads may be disappointed by having to start over. Thus, you can simply reenter your thread again later if you choose to not redo your thread.

I also want to stress that all google forms submission will be deleted once a winner has been presented. Thus, it's essential that you either submit or resubmit your form if you want to be nominated for the next promotion period.

Review an Artist

1. Every month we ask 2-4 users to write a review for the upcoming HYM artist.

2. We ask that once an event member reveals to you the artist for that month (and that you’ll be listening to) that you do NOT converse with others on the forum about it.

3. You can pick any songs from the artists most recent album(s).

4. You cannot be a reviewer if you have sent in a submission for that month.

5. Earn coins, and potentially discover your next artist to add to your library.

Winner Prizes

1. A custom banner made by the Graphics team that will be displaced on the front page of the site.
This banner will be linked to your submission thread, which will be feature for the month.

2. Also, as a new addition, you will also be able to win prizes for yourself! That is, if you participate in the event and win, you win 250 coins and will have the choice to either win a GIF badge or a random rare card, along with the other things that were previously promised!

In order for you get your prize, we simply ask that you either request your random rare card in the cards request thread or dm and @Awards member for the gif badge!

The request would look like this:

Username: Panda
Reason: Have You Met Event Winner

The cards team is already aware of this and I will verify with them on who the winner is!

Other Prizes

1. Submitters - If you submit your artist to be chosen for next month BUT aren't picked, you will get 100 coins for participating in the event.

2. Reviewers - If you review an HYM artist, you will get 50 coins

1 month split into this:
First 3 weeks (from the 1st to the 21st): Submission Time for the Threads made by You!
From the 22nd to the end of month: Events Team will vote for the Winner and prepare for their Promotion
Next Month: Promotion of your Artist starts which lasts for the next month
(at the same time, this cycle would start over again immediately the first day of the month)


Submission Period: Every month, 1st to 21st​

And how do you classify “lesser known artists” ?

And how do you classify “lesser known artists” ?

like types of groups who would be considered mid-tier or low-tier in terms of popularity, groups most people don't talk about
