Okay great. I wasn't sure if there was a deadline for people to enter, or whether you just had to submit by that date. I guess it's the latter.

Entries will be received up to August 16th, 2009 at 23:59 PST, and not a minute longer

THAT'S PACIFIC STANDARD TIME (because it's my time zone)

My entry: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/2 61671

I have a question about my upcoming entry.

You see, my entry will be some kind of concerto, meaning that there will be three movements. Technically, it's as if i was submitting three pieces. Would my entry be disqualified under these conditions ?

Excellent contest, ive been following it for a few days. I like the theme. It allows for a versatile approach for many. If I get time I'll give it a shot. There are some really good entries that stand out.

Keep them up coming folks! This is a great watch!

If it has the theme in it, and any portation of the movements, it's fine.

To clarify, you can have the theme in just one movement and not in the others, and it'll qualify.

Keep in mind though, length is not necessarily going ot get you a better score.

Well, the theme is going to be included in each movement, slightly modified.

Keep in mind though, length is not necessarily going ot get you a better score.

I can tell you i'm not the best when it comes to length. The whole purpose of having the three movements is diversity.

Here is mine =)

'Wow!' I thought as I was reading the contest syllabus. I was thinking, "this could really be my chance to shine, since orchestrated music is among my top genres." But then I kept reading.... 5 MINUTES!! Now listen buddy, some of the best orchestrated pieces of out time reach even 12 minutes. I was very eager to submit my best orchestrated song Almany but it is in the 6 minute range, likewise my other song Last Quest, but the latter has a small error.
Almany is even in a crisp clean 3/4 time. Well, I guess this disqualifies DJ Chilvan. At least, as a consolation prize it would be nice if you could check my orchestras out and leave a review or vote.

P.S. I cant make a new entry that can qualify because of one main reason---Time. Yes, I have a good ten days but that would still account for rushing hence music comes from the heart and sixth sense, not soley the brain or musical experience, and as I am now, my brain is locked up and my heart is cold.

OMG 4give me sorry! As a big idiot I am i didnt finish reading the instructions. When you said theme I didnt know you meant a particular melody. Oooookaayy, well, i guess then with all deepest apologies sign myself up fo yo little contest. It sounds fun.

- Deepest Apologies.

I sure am glad that our school systems are so up-to-date on teaching reading skills.

Those entries are previously done though right, so they wouldn't have the theme, which wouldn't work for this contest.

I put a 5min limit because us judges are required to listen to the WHOLE thing regardless. 12 minutes is too long, 5 minutes is just right, and a slightly over commercial length.

wow. so i finally did it. I made a song for yo contest. I had fun. Thanx. 4:10 in length BTW.

Here's my version, however I will NOT be submitting this to the contest for a few reasons (if you must know why you can PM me). The theme was a good challenge to work with, I really enjoyed working with it.

This is a great contest, and I wish everyone the best of luck.

Okay, i'm not hearing too much improvisation out of people besides in bass and percussion. If I have a small theme I want as a tag, I can do that right? I'm a little nervous about it because I haven't heard too much of it yet.

Sure. Just make sure you have the original theme as well.

Nice contest i will see if igot time, todo that :) ijust finished 2 tracks this week.

Bumping up :D This went to the 2 page, so it needs to be higher :D

THIS IS YOUR 7 DAY WARNING!

Entries will not be accepted once the clock hits August 17th, 12:00am PST

And I will hold this to the best of my ability, so don't think I'll make an exception.

After that, I'll see about coming up with a fair judging system and then the judges will start listening.

gah i gotta hurry up then haha. if i finish it in time and if the submissions posted in this thread are indicative of most submissions... then ill be mixing it up a bit haha

I'm entering this contest way late. I haven't been on for a long time so I really missed this, but it seems interesting and I want to do this. I've got something rough worked out, but after reading further into the thread I don't think it'll work, so I'll probably twist it into a personal work instead and try to get a quick four days work in on this thing.

Here's my entry: Shanghai Love Story

I'll add some more if I get a chance before monday (I know it's on the short side)

Lots of good stuff here, thanks for organizing this.

lol proud ardvark... jst wondering, but where is the theme in this one? haha i hear the very first bar of it in the woodwinds in the background like once... but i didnt hear it again. otherwise it sounds sweet haha

It's in the cello/trombone, then the second phrase is in horns and violin. I used it as counterline rather than as the melody, but it is in there note for note. Hope that works for you!
