Just wondering if I could write some pieces for untaken countries on the proviso that they be only tribute pieces to the competition and not entries? I know I probably sound really arrogant writing this, but I'm just in a bit of writers block right now, and I figure using the competition guidelines to write some more music (and perhaps advertise the competition to any new artists who haven't ventured unto the forum yet) might be killing two birds with one stone.
Again, I'd like to specify, I don't want to double enter, just write some tribute tracks for the competition and link right back here :)
Could you maybe cover the entry that won last year?
If it's awesome enough, we will open the podcast with it! :D

I would like to join this Contest. Good thing I signed up now. Then I wouldn't get to sign-up after tomorrow.
You kind of need to tell me the country you want to represent. :/
The Jury marking scheme has been finalised guys! I'll copy and paste it so you all know what you're doing. Basically What I'm showing is how each jury member scores your entries, the scores are totalled and then the top scorers are given the points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 19 and 24. 14 entries get points from each category! Also all the block votes will give out the same points but will just combien the acts in each blocks scores. Confuzzling, I know! All acts will be able to ask for the entire Jury marks on their entries after the contest.
Anyways....
