Hey there! This is the official thread for my unofficial audio contest! This is where you can find information about the contest, sign up, and post your songs. Let's go over the contest rules:

RULES AND REGULATIONS
- Your song must be original (no remixes)
- Lyrics are allowed, but nothing inappropriate
- Songs must be 1:30 or longer
- NO STOLEN MUSIC if you plagiarize, will will find you >
- Your music must be written for this contest, no using already completed songs.
- There are no restrictions on genre or method of creation

DEADLINES
- The deadline for signing up is Friday, October 10th
- The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 24th
- Judging will take place from October 25th to October 30th

Results will be announced on October 31st

SIGNING UP
To sign up, just make a post in this forum saying that you want to enter the contest.

SUBMITTING
After you have completed your song, submit it's mp3 file to [url]http://www.zshare.net/[/url]. Leave the link to your submission and your song name on this page. As stated before, the deadline for submissions is Friday, October 24th, so don't be late!

PRIZES!
1st Place: A copy of Cubase 4 or FL Studio Pro.
2nd - 3rd Place: 50 AP
Everybody Else: Cruel Mockery

The reason that I'm not giving out more prizes is because I am running this contest out of my own pocket, and I don't have stacks of cash lying around at the moment.

JUDGING
The contest will be judged by the AG moderators (except for those who are participating). We are happy to except users to our judging panel, but there are a few requirements:

- Impartiality to music genre
- Impartiality to user
- Knowledge of music
- Good member
- Not entered in the contest

The deadline for judging signups is also going to be the 10th.

Have fun guys!

Ohk...I think I might be able to join...Unsure what I can do...but I'll think of something, even if I just make up something on my sax, and add some kind of piano music too it...

Are you able to use samples in it or does it have to be completely original?

Yes, you can use pre-made samples. The competition isn't hardcore to the point of having to create your own patches :P

I'm more worried about participants than judges right now. We've got a total of 5 people so far, including "maybes." I kind of wanted to have 10+ entries, but the whole thing is kind of pointless with so few people entering. So, the deadline for signups is going to be pushed back unless we get 8+ total entries before the tenth!

I would be more than happy to judge, seeing as I don't know how to make music.

Well, here are the rules if you want to play with a band:

The song still has to be written by you.
You have to be playing in the band.
Anything that you win gets shared by you and your band.

I wanna sign up, but I would like to know, would you like lyrics, or do you just want the song to be instrumental?

@fst6 I guess you'll just have to come up with an arrangement with your band if that happens.

@Lige It doesn't mater either way.

Also, just so u know, the instruments I mainly play area piano and drums and i only play a little bit of guitar. And does it matter if i couldnt think of a name? Because I saved it as the best song that i made.

So i hope Ubertuna, and the rest of the judges that you like my song.
