Contest No. 2: Who's Got Punk?

Update: The contest has closed. However, we are still collecting your Punk Rock/New Wave stories. We will periodically be featuring them as part of our Community Initiatives. So keep them coming!

Hear the stories we have so far here.

Tell us your story about Punk Rock or New Wave for a chance to win one of three signed editions of "The Beautiful and the Damned: Punk Photographs by Ann Summa". Ann Summa, photojournalist, who we interviewed for Departures: Chinatown, will also give to one winner an original print of Pat and Alice Bag, from The Bags shot at the Hong Kong Café in 1979.

Ann Summa will personally select the three winning stories, one of which will receive her signed print in addition to the book. Winners will be announced the following Friday.

Photographer Ann Summa has captured it all in her newly released book The Beautiful and the Damned: Punk Photographs by Ann Summa, which catalogs her journey through Punk and New Wave in Chinatown and surrounding Los Angeles. Published by Foggy Notion Books and Smart Art Press, the book features images from L.A.'s first punk generation with candid shots of The Germs, Exene and the rest of X, The Cramps, The Alley Cats and The Bags. Grimey at times, yet teeming with morsels of Punk life.

• I totally fell hard for... I had posters all over my walls and my locker door of...
• What does it mean to be punk rock today?
• What's up with Latinos and Morrissey?
• Not all punks are rockers... What's a punk moment for you?
• I used to do my hair with food coloring and eggs... What did you wear?
