Songwriting contest sitsit
The songwriting contest of the Teekkarius 150 anniversary has opened! This year there are four categories out of which one is the international series! To participate you need to rewrite or come up with a new song entirely in a language that is NOT Finnish. You can also participate into the other categories with a non-Finnish song. The other series are Teekkaritradition series (Relating to the Teekkarius 150 celebration), Never-before seen (Songs that have never been performed.), Fresh-songs (Songs that have been performed, but are still new.)
You can compete in the song competition alone or alongside your friends with as many fantastic lyrics as you can come up with. If you recently came up with a song, and already sang it at a sitsit, no worries. Songs written after 9.11.2021 are all eligible for signup, but you must enter with your own song. The competition will close on 2.11.2022.
All new lyrics entered to the competition will be sung during the Song writing competition sitsit on the 16.11 in Otakaari 20. During the sitsit the winners of the categories will be announced alongside fantastic prizes for the winners. The winners will be selected by a panel of judges composed of keen observers of Otaniemi song-culture.
Ticket sales for the sitsit will begin during week 41 and the sitsit cost 17 euros. The Dresscode is smart casual. The sitsit will begin 18:30 with the doors opening at 18:00 on the 16.11, participating contestants are guaranteed a spot as they are limited.

Teekkari Association survey
According to the decisions of Teekkari Gathering, the Teekkari Association work group is conducting a survey to gather data on existing challenges and opinions regarding the current structure of the student community and teekkari identity.
The work group and the survey exist to bring more clarity to the ongoing discussion about the status of the teekkari activities and future in Otaniemi. The results of the survey aren’t going to be binding for the community in any ways, and the survey exists merely to gather data for the teekkari community, Teekkari Gathering, and AYY to refer to in possible upcoming discussions.
Questions about the survey or the work group can be sent via email to visa.pollari@ayy.fi or via telegram @teekkarit
The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete https://forms.office.com/r/BEE19XfKGh

Polirytmin viikoittaiset torstaijamit Servin mökissä
Polirytmi järjestää lukuvuoden joka torstai kaikille avoimet jamit Servin mökissä. Homman nimi on soittaa porukalla hyvää musiikkia ja tutustua muihin Otaniemen muusikoihin. Jamit ovat matala kynnys tutustua Polirytmin toimintaan laajemmin ja päästä soittamaan uutta musiikkia. Jameissa soitetaan aluksi muutama ennalta määrätty kappale, joihin tarjotaan nuotit. Loppuaika soitetaan kaikkea musiikkia, mitä osallistujat vain haluavat; vain taivas on rajana! Mukaan saa tulla täysin taitotasosta riippumatta, ja mahdollisuus on myös kokeilla uusien soittimien soittamista. Ota siis soittimesi tai äänihuulesi komerosta ja tule mukaan jammailemaan!
Liity samalla Polirytmin maililistalle, josta saat muistutuksen viikoittaisista jameista ja nuotit ennalta määrättyihin kappaleisiin:
