Are multiple entries allowed?
They are but in general a single person wouldn't win multiple prizes in the same category, if their entries were really good then the best one might rank.
If anyone is looking for some music with spooky-themed lyrics, I've made 3 Vocaloid tracks this year with some monster/occult-themed lyrics!
Arcade Ghost is about a ghost haunting an arcade, who makes anyone that comes across her alone at night into her player 2... FOREVER!
Enter The Castle is about an immortal vampire waiting for an opponent brave enough to finally defeat her!
I'm A Necromancer Who Summoned A Skeleton, Now I'm In Love!? Hope the title alone is enough to explain that one :')
