wow, already so many... goood... goood. Though wat_u_smokin is gonna have a hard time judging faction1 by himself, so until/if somebody else wants that position, I will assist in judging faction 1. Hopefully when we start next Monday (February 6), we can finish it by the end of this month.

All contestants can email me (full_metal_slashemist@hotmail.com), or wat_u_smokin's (check profile) so that we know which emails to send the password and email address for the NGContest Account, or if you want, leave your email here, and me or he will reply back to you.

Mind coming online Maestro? (MSN)

I'm in . . . if I can find out of my asshole busy schedual to finish one of the many songs I got in the works (and if I think theyre good enough) my email is dumass4u@hotmail.com

When is the deadline for submissions? end of febuary, mid feb, later..? That determines if I can give it a go. Look forward to hearing stuff by people though!

ok i'm in. when you want the submission in?

Submission can be done at ANY point during this month, judging begins at the end of February, hopefully no longer then 1 week.

The voting system is also debated right now.

We could go for 1-100 system, so we could be very precise with out votings.

so like 67, not yet 70, but too good for 60.

Or we could go with the classic 1-10.

I'm feeling the 1-100. That'll be best in my opinion.

faction 1 will be 1-100. thanks maestro for setting this up.

Are you accepting any more artists?

of course Will, up until this coming Monday, and even then, as long as the artist feels they can bring something to the table in time ^^

Then until a better system is done,

both factions will use a 1-100 voting system.

ok, i just got one question, is there going to be a final winner and what about prizes. something simple like a burger award.

Sure, I'll give out the first McGodlyBurger to the winner of this competition. Or maybe another burger as quality demands. Possibly a special event Burger.

you gonna have metalcan make you a new sig for that?

thats not a bad idea, a simple logo, or small sig indicating "THE composer" or something.

Metalcan makes kick arse images, so i'm hoping he can do something for us.

No, the McGodlyBurger is already in one of my sigs.

Any more composers are welcome to join at any given date, though I think its safe to say the last week of the month is the cut off spot, its not fair to the judges to suddenly get a swarm of new people, so hopefully any who is interested will join before then.

All contestants can email me (full_metal_slashemist@hotmail.com), or wat_u_smokin's (check profile) so that we know which emails to send the password and email address for the NGContest Account, or if you want, leave your email here, and me or he will reply back to you.

check your e-mail sorrow. i think thats how we should keep up-to date on the contest.

Shouldn't there be some sort of guidelines, or a specific genre, or something to go on. It seems kind of pointless for everyone to make a completely random song and then pick which is best.
Plus if you do it by genre or theme you can do this contest many times and it will always be new.

there is. choose a faction; faction one is real music. (music that you can create with on guitars and drums, piano etc.). faction two is for computer generated music only.(music that is impossible to create with real instruments) other than that, sign-up.

Please refrain from using the term, 'real music'. Because I can guarantee you that trance is real. I know exactly what you mean by it, but still, I think we need a new term.

And 90% of the time I self advertise, its been because of the thread was specifically entitled to it, however i've misread things, and had accidents.

:)

meh, i'm an ass too. you just got on the wrong side of me.

List to date!

<The System>
Both factions are going to have the 1-100 voting system.
This is so that judges can give precise and useful feedback.

Judges must leave constructive criticism, no flaming allowed, any "feedback" that sounds like a flame, will be immediatly removed, and another person will be found to replace that judge, I don't want this to be a place where people lose confidence, only to find it.

There are only these two factions, because I do not want to limit creativity, GO NUTS!

<The Award>
Still debatable, but so far this is what it is.

A small symbol or emblem that can go to the winners sig, indicating the power of that composer.

There are enough people, so I think we can have 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place awards for both factions.

This is the format to date, if there are no more suggestions, feedback, or concerns, start emailing me or Wat_u_smokin so we can begin sending passwords and the email adress for the NGContest account!

sorry to cut in on you! if anyone new wants to sign up, either post it here or the sign-up thread.

ok yeah, i've got a name for the alias of all the composers. if all the judges would e-mail me so we can decide on a name, password, and whatever else needs to be put.

How can you compare a punk song, to an orchestral song, to a hip hop song?
It just doesn't seem possible for it to be judged fairly.
I mean I'm not in it, so it doesn't matter to me. Just saying.

Easy. The judges have been making music for long enough to judge it on a purely technical grounds if it needs to be like that.

Plus if you make hiphop you're probably not entered. Because I don't think many people that entered even LIKE hiphop.
