Note: I had two people help record vox for me, they have only sent vox as I instructed (I did the lyrics and everything) and should hopefully comply with the rules.

Yes, that sounds like it is within the rules. Thanks for being transparent about it.

It's okay. Thanks for letting me know. Admittedly, I usually try to schedule the contest so that it wraps up before most people go back to school, but this year it was a bit late. Hope to see you back next time!

Alright! That's a wrap. The Final Round submission phase is over.


@314leafcutterant @FUZZYFREAK @SoFtBOILeD Your submissions are either late or non-existent. You can still submit, but a "late tax" will be applied to your score depending on how late it is (see the rules for details).


Meanwhile, @AceMantra, @ADR3-N, @Benji-G, @Lordant, @Midimachine, @NahuPyrope, @NoStereo, @Possibly, @SplatterDash, @TaintedLogic, @TeraVex, @Tritnew, @Uxvellda, @VociferousMusic, and @wobwobrob have until Thursday, September 21st to score all of your Final Round tracks and determine the top 3 finishers!


Congrats on coming this far, everyone!

Admittedly, I am a bit torn on whether to apply the "late tax" because, on the one hand, this thread's OP says you're supposed to submit it here, and you were also tagged in the second post of the thread. On the other hand, I was made aware of your submission when you posted to the KO Round thread, and so it was on the judges' scoresheet before the deadline. For now, I will not apply the late tax, but I will confer with the judges privately to discuss this. Thanks for understanding.

Congratulations to EVERYONE on some fantastic work throughout the competition. It’s always such a pleasure to listen to all these tracks.


IF YOU’RE IN THE TOP THREE: @ADR3-N will make sure the winning submissions are featured prominently on the site’s front page at her discretion. I also offered to gift supporter status for a full year to each of the top 3 as well, but as it turns out ALL of the top 3 are already supporters lol. So please just PM me when your supporter status is up for renewal, and I'll re-up it. Seriously - I owe each of you a year's worth of supporter status.


Meanwhile, the custom forum signatures for the top 3 should be ready within the next couple of weeks. I’ll PM you with a private link to your forum sig as soon as it’s ready.

And...that’s all, folks! Huge thanks as always to the judges for this round: @ADR3-N, @Lordant, @SplatterDash, @TaintedLogic, @TeraVex, @VociferousMusic, and @WobWobRob. These judges were chosen to score your tracks in part because they’re amazing musicians themselves, so go check out their content! Also, special shout-out to @LD-W for managing the Discord server that hosts the contest-related chats, including the one for the judges. 


I’d also like to thank every single individual who auditioned, participated, or even followed the contest in any way. The competitors are the ones who truly make the NGUAC what it is.


Hope you’ll all join us again next year! Until then, see you around the Grounds. ^_^

I think the fact that you got this far is a strong indicator that you ARE good. Everyone has things to work on, and people rarely win a contest like this the first year they participate. But for now, don't think of yourself as 35th out of 35 in the Final Round, but as 35th out of 402 in the entire competition - that's really good!
