About this challenge
The Prompt
Create a personalized soundtrack to your life.
Create a playlist of songs that are truly special to you and that capture the defining moments of your journey. Each track should bring back the emotions you felt in each moment, whether it be one that gave you the strength to keep going, one that comforted you in difficult times, or one that celebrated a liberating experience. Share the music that has shaped your life, along with the stories that accompany them. Don't forget to embed links to the songs on Spotify, YouTube, or Soundcloud!
This challenge was inspired by C.R. Hughes and Noah Glenn’s contributions to Shape the Future of Vocal Challenges.
In order for your submission to qualify, it must be:
- Between 600-5000 words.
- Submitted to the Beat community. Choosing a community is a final step in the submission process.

Challenge resources
A Transparent Look at Vocal Challenges and Top Stories
Almost three years ago, we shared a resource article that served as a place for people to suggest new challenge prompts. We thought it would be a good idea to refresh that thread, and take the opportunity to answer a few common questions about top stories, how challenges are judged and how submissions are reviewed.

A System That Isn’t Working Challenge Winners
Systems promise order. They organize behavior, distribute opportunity, and suggest that if everyone follows the rules, things will work. The entries in A System That Isn’t Working look closely at what happens when that promise begins to slip.
