Here's an intriguing gift from Sufjan Stevens this Christmas: write a Christmas song, give it to Sufjan, and, if you win, he will give you exclusive rights to a brand new song of his. Here's some more details:

"Just like a gift exhange, Sufjan's song becomes your song. You can hoard it for yourself, sell it to a major soft drink corporation, use it in your daughter's first Christmas video, or share it for free on your website. No one except Sufjan and you will hear his song, unless you decide otherwise. You get the song and all legal rights to it. We get the same rights to your song."

Even if you have no songwriting or songgiving aspirations, you can still listen to a bunch of Sufjan Christmas tunes on the site while reading further instructions about the contest.
