2. Then, take a line from the lyrics of "Til Summer Comes Around" that best relates to your memory.
3. Finally, post your submission on your Facebook page in a Note, on your MySpace page in a Blog entry or other online profile.
Send a screen shot of your work to StreetTeam@KeithUrban.net. We will choose our 10 favorite submissions and feature them on Keith's official website. These winners will receive surprise merch packs.

Now it is time to look over all of the FANTASTIC submissions that have been sent in for these missions, and let you guys who who our winners are.
Please check back here to see the names of the Defying Gravity mission winners which will be posted by tomorrow morning (Dec. 2nd). Because we had quite a few of the AMA & People's Choice Award missions, we won't post those here. I cannot wait to see what you all have come up with!
