The Theme Challenge will consist of a 45 minute to 120 minute mix, left to your own interpretation of the suggested theme, which will be posted after sign-ups are over. There are no prizes. All entries should be uploaded to your favorite file hosting site and posted after the sign-up date and before the due date. All participants should make an effort to listen to and review each mix that has been posted.
IF YOU SIGN UP AND DO NOT DO YOUR MIX, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN FUTURE COMPETITIONS!!!
Sign-ups will last a little over a month, starting today and lasting through JULY 23rd, @ 12 AM GMT. Simply enter your name and the theme you suggest. I will choose a theme at the end of the sign-up period and the mixing will begin. This challenge ends September 30thMonday, October 30th @ 12 AM GMT. Late signups are generally fine, and I also add extensions for people who are delayed on submitting their mix.
You may choose to drop out before the sign-up dates end, but once the challenge begins you cannot drop out.

How certain are you that you can still make it by then? Even though I like you, rules are rules and if you aren't able to deliver by then you're out. I wouldn't sign up unless I was 100% certain I could do it before the deadline.

I could be in. Maybe. It depends on the theme that gets settled on. As fun as it would be to smash out a peak time set, is that really a "theme"?
Well why don't you start by driving the conversation on which one you prefer of the current ones suggested? I select the theme at the end of the signup period, but I will only select the one that has had the most amount of general support.
And yeah, I struggled with the same point you made while I was thinking of a theme. At the end of the day though, peak time sets will be different for different people, and it would be interesting to see how people would approach that "challenge" so to speak. Maybe a peak time set for someone is heavy psybreaks, and for someone else maybe a bunch of really introspective deep house. It just depends on who it is. Just a suggestion!
