Limit has been set to 20, alltho I don't think we need a limit this time. So if you still want to join, let us know.


STARTING DATE: 12th November 2002
ENDING DATE: 12th January 2003
Some people said the one month in the previous comp wasn't enough, surely 2 months is more than enough this time.


JUDGING/VOTING START: January 12th 2003
JUDGING/VOTING END: January 26th 2003
This is offcourse the voting done with a pole. This can't be a TA pole offcourse, cos that would be too corrupt. In the (unlikely) event of finding some old-fashioned judges the dates can/will be altered.
The dates may be altered, depending on how long it takes the manager(s) (see below) to host the tracks.


THE VOTING
At the moment we're going for a pole. Details about this will be posted at a later time.


MANAGING
- One person will be selected to host the compo. He/she may not compete or judge. FTP server hosting experience required.
- Tasks:
- Supplying serverspace
- Renaming the mixes to numbers and keeping track of which mix is which
- Managing the results received from the judges according the judging rules VII, VIII and IX
- Manager:
- eieregooie did a good job last time, I'm hoping you're interested this time too...


REMIXING
- The accapella for the track will be made available. Any other files (e.g. midi files) that will be helpfull will be posted too.
- All mixes have to be 5 minutes at least, to avoid dull radio edits
- You're supposed to make use of the accapella, no dubs.
- MIXES MAY NOT BE SPREAD IN ANY WAY, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNTILL THE COMPO IS COMPLETELY OVER
- Only one mix per contestant may be uploaded to the server. So make sure you're completely satisfied with your remix before you upload it to the FTP server, there's no way back after you've uploaded.
- Uploaded mp3s should be in 192kbit, 44.1khz, full stereo. Make sure you give it a sensible file name:
"[your TA username] - Perpetuous Dreamer - The Sound Of Goodbye (your artist name remix).mp3.
- Mixes have to in ON JANUARY 12th 2003 (23:59 GMT)
- If you need to drop out, please let us know ASAP. Contestants dropping out after December 12th without a good excuse will be blacklisted (not that this has any consequences yet, but I'm sure we'll think of some.. mwuahaha!).


FINALLY
- When a competitor is done with his/her mix, he/she must send a PM to the Manager asking for the server specs.
- When all mixes are up the Manager will provide all judges with server specs and the judging may begin.
- If some people are willing to do the old-fashioned judging, please let us know.
- This competition is purely meant for fun.
- When the whole thing is over I will burn them to cd and give Armin a copy of all the remixes, or at least of the people who want Armin to hear their mix (hope he doesn't sue.. )
- 1st prize will be the choice of track for the next remix competition. That's all.
