I will send the four who have won a pm regarding your rewards. All are quite unique. I have deemed every contestant worthy of my recognition, and you all are honorable. I would gladly honor you all and our friendship.

I believe this contest was a success and that many great songs were produced. I was hoping to hear more emotional pieces, but this will more than suffice.

I noticed that the image above is quite squinty, so hopefully this one will be better. Again, I will explain this list in a moment.

...you are very prompt. Yaaayyy.

I looked at the first one and had to squint extremely asianlike. And then...nothing. (I cried) No seriously though, there were a lot of true classical contenders here. I think I didn't grasp the concept well. Oh well. The court jester goes to the corner and giggles to herself/himself/itself.

Great job to y'all that won. I should keep an eye on you guys, a friendly eye...not the snooping or conniving kind. This contest at least made me expand and think a little more than I usually don't.

...I hope you're...being sarcastic when you say that you were hoping to hear more emotional pieces :(

These are the factors I focused on while judging:

Novelty/Originality -- If the song was completely original and variable (not repetitive).

Orchestration -- If multiple orchestral instruments were used, and if instrumentation was of a large scope.

Emotion -- If the song contained movements that affected strong feelings.

Realism -- If the instrumentation was realistic, or performed/sequenced realistically.

Composition/Arrangement -- If the song was well structured and intricately defined. Spending more time on your song would have helped this score.

You all can compare your scored with the list above.

YES. This is the first time I ever placed in a competition.

Great job to all the winners, it was a great run. And thanks to Bosa for organising this.

You ranked well in your quest. I was honored to have you participate, and I will gladly summon you when a new quest calls our names.

Wait... you claim kingship for yourself in the end anyway? How scandalous!!

Anyway, good choices of winners and neat contest Bosa! Was fun to try to orchestral my way around things.

Congrats Samulis, Step and deadlyfishes!

My heart just dropped...

At first my sleepy eyes couldn't even find my own name on the pic. And then I saw myself right on the 3rd place! Oh my goodness.

I actually won something first time on NG...

So who wants some insight on how I won this contest?

I was thinking about doing that and explaining the scores for each person, but uh... lol

Congrats to all the wieners!!

that's the best kind of reason

Maths and Magic

Congrats to the winners... alas, I joined this place a bit too late to submit an entry. Next time, perhaps.

At least you defeated Prince Rupert!

THIS CROWN IS NOT FOR TAKING

I just found out Prince Rupert is a City in BC, Canada.

Prince Rupert is a sneaky one, he is. He'll steal a country right from under our noses.

This contest was honestly a lot of fun. I am thankful for the critique of folks on my original concept for an entry, as well as all the great submissions I got to listen to. I always enjoy having a chance to hear other takes on something that is so familiar yet so distant. M0le man, I'm proud of you... I swear you're going to trump me one of these days and crush my frugal attempts to write emotion-packed music under your tracker mastery. ;)

It was a thrill to see people like Deadfishes and Step, both of whom I respect immensely for their mastery of the cinematic style among others, as well as many people who I have not met or seen before.

Bosa, my liege, I guess you tricked a bunch of court musicians into harping for your entertainment... again. :P

I hope that next time there will be duels and massive musical works.

I would hope so. And I assure you all that the next contest will be even more unique than this one (which it would have to since this contest did not make me content at all).

:) I'm proud of you too. It's nothing secret about the trick to gain emotional songs lol. Sad style is my weapon. I actually have quite a few writing joyful music. Welp, it's actually first time I compose something like this on a tracker.

I personally think Step was busy or something. He could have toppled us all with his Sanctuary song style. But Mr. Samulis has OP 100 style, so basically nothing should have left for me.

Bosa, my liege, I guess you tricked a bunch of court musicians into harping for your entertainment... again. :P

Who knows, maybe Prince Rupert and Bosa are actually the same person?
