Welcome back to the New York Magazine Competition. On alternate Mondays (or, this week, Tuesday), we lay out a challenge and offer sample responses. Enter in the comments section or on Twitter with the hashtag we’ve provided, and the editors will select a winner. Criteria are highly subjective, but heavily retweeted and favorited posts will have an advantage. The prize is a year’s subscription to New York in print or a two-year subscription to the iPad edition (winner’s choice). Full rules are here.
COMPETITION NO. 63: “2015 IN EIGHT WORDS.” Please recap this past year, briefly. For example:
Yuuuuge year. The biggest. Never been so big.
Wars that matter: Syria. That don’t: Christmas, Star.
Serena Williams almost swept. European Union? Jesus wept.
Enter on Twitter with the hashtag #2015ineightwords, or in the comments thread below, by January 6.
