The Swedish music academics' song kåntest, better known as SMASK, is back after several years of pandemic hiatus. Planning for the event began at the end of January and today, Wednesday, the local competition will be held in Christinasalen in Piteå.

The competitions will also be broadcast on Youtube with the help of students at Strömbackaskolan. Both organizers and participants are excited for this year's edition, but the future of the competition is unclear.
