RealFaction man, how are the entries going to be judged? Will the judges post thier reviews on the tracks or you'll "read" the judgement on your youtube channel? :D

I think that just picking up the entries and judging them in private is not realy worth the wait.

I would but...for a long time i've been trying to get the ban removed from my ability to review but i guess my messages havent gone through :/ the ban happened through a hacker incident years ago, nevermind that. And yes, it will be worth the wait, sorry but you gotta wait! We have to have enough time to organize things.

Also, reading the judgement on so many songs would take too long. What I'm gonna do, is post a video of the winners with 15 second clips of each song with the artwork, theres going to be at least 14 winners, so that will take up a huge chunk of time.

Can I ask someone to play a guitar line, or does that count as collab?

This is kinda unrelated, but how do I change from blank slate to musician? Do I just post music? I'm making some pretty good tunes now :)

Yeah but, the point of the contest isn't to find a picture on the front page in the hopes that they'll respond... But thanks.

....I was hoping more people would pick artwork that wasn't on the frontpage. There's plenty of other artists to give a chance, find something that really inspires you.

OH NO NOT LIKE THAT.
I meant "Newest".
That's what I did.
Not front page.

Oh my god finally done with all 3...
By the way, 2 of the songs I made for this I'm putting in an EP, but I started on them after the contest started and with that main purpose. This is ok, right?

Yeah I have been waiting responses from 3 guys, but nothing yet. You can't even tell if they visit the site or not and guessing they are active or not won't work as well. I'll probably give up.

I'm sorry to hear you're both having trouble :/. Some artists though unfortunately don't answer, but keep trying if you wish, I wish more artists were visiting NG more. I literally visit this EVERY DAY, along with Facebook and YouTube, and my email.
