(Wow, sweet. I didn't realize you were going to Blizz con)
Is there going to be honorable mentions or any comments so people who don't get one of the top places still get some idea of how their stacked up? :)

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.
----
Potention Judges (subject to change)
EchozAurora
Hades
Karco
Bad-Man-Incorporated
Nathan Allen Pinard
Bonnie Anne Pinard (In case you're wondering, this is my mother, and we've been writing music for over a decade. She heard the entires and offered to judge.)
From this point on, all judges will forever be made confidential.
Judges may also add their own comments to each entry if they wish.
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.

True, there are over 30 entires and 5 judges.
I'm holding the names of the judges because some wanted to remain anonymous. But I can tell you there's myself, 2 from NG community, and 2 outside of the community.
All musicians in some shape or form. All various different styles.

Just curious, you say musicians, so are any of the other judges composers/orchestrators like yourself?

we'll try to hook the winners up from this contest on the NG frontpage. Just know that there are both the "talk like a pirate day" (19'th) and "madness day" (22'nd) coming up, so if this contest is settled around those dates, the winners will have to wait a few extra days for their well-deserved attention!

If I do not get anything by a certain date, I can judge them myself.
Assuming that is acceptable by the contestants. Right now, judges and I are quite busy.
Again, a new thread will be posted.

It's fine with me, I was just wondering if the judging should be done by September 30, because me and my friends are waiting for the results to modify the song, because if we win, our song'll be modified anyways.
