Judging System will be as follows:
Category Descriptions -
Creativity: The overall creativity of the piece and how the melody was adapted. (Score 1 to 10. 10 being the highest) x 10
Orchestration: The instrumentation, counter melodies, chord structure, rhythmic patterns, and changes in feeling and style in the theme. The overall movement within the piece and how the melody is accompanied. Piano solo pieces do count as orchestration as well. (Score 1 to 10. 10 being the highest) x 10
Production Value: The overall sound of the piece. The engineering quality based on the instruments used. The crossfades, volume curves, breath control. Anything to add to the realism of the instruments. Compression, reverb, EQ and master can also add to this score. (Score 1 to 10. 10 being the highest) x 3
The multipliers are there to change the importance of each score.

The scores and comments are to be made confidential for now. But later we might post the comments for each entry, if the contestant wishes so.
