Congratulations to all of you who have made it this far! Your entries have faced tough competition and incredible scrutiny from our first-round judges.
Now, those of you who have made it to the Top 8 will be at the mercy of three of NewGrounds' top orchestral composers, the Trifecta of Awesome! -- DavidOrr, MaestroRage, and ProudAardvark.
Good luck!
Sincerely,
BrokenDeck, LogicalDefiance, and RampantMusik

Ditto. As I listen through these 8 submissions, I keep saying to myself "Man, this judging is going to be really difficult". All of the submissions (including those that didn't make it to the top 8) have been awesome!

I so hope this is coming next year, I reckon if I put more time into the one I submitted I may have gotten a good place. But seriously I'm so glad that the competition was so high, it really shows that Newgrounds audio artists aren't solely based on electronic music.

Wow! Thanks for the top 8 judges! That was quicker than expected too! The entries this Mac were excellent. Very greatful for a top 8 place! Thanks soooo much. Feel a bit of a shame for some participants who never made it and put in a crazy amount of effort, but this MAC is so hard to place.

Ya, this was by far the most epic competition I have taken part in... I'm honored just by being able to listen to some of these works... very expressive all in all. Best of luck to the top 8! I can't find an issue with any piece there being among your number. :)

Awesome! Commendations must go to all the entrants. I said it before but there was lots of skill and effort on display here.
So how long until the final results are in?

Your piece is definitely my favorite, which says a lot considering the other entries here.
I'm back, I guess.

The results have already been finalized. I'm just waiting for signature artwork to come in.
Unless you guys want to know now and I can PM the winners their signatures at a later date...

It looks better if you release it in a grand and big way with the signatures included. IMO.
Unless it's going to take a couple of days. I'm patient, but not THAT patient.
I'm back, I guess.

Thanks so much Soapbubble. I really appreciate that. Rampant made some great comments in helping me improve and personally considering the competitions amazing entries I think other tracks have just blown mine away. Amazing compositions.

The sigs are basically done, I just need to make some revisions. I'm heading to work now and I'll be home around 9 or 10ish NG time. As soon as I'm back I'll get to work finalizing the sigs and verifying them with Brokendeck. So if all goes well, they should be ready tonight :)
