There has been quite a bit of trash talk lately and I think it is time for an old fashion battle royal.

Closing date to pledge is Septembre 17 ( technically the 16th 11:59 pm GMT )
Contest will start on the September 20
You will have minimum 1 month to finish


First Prize = 250$
Second Prize = 100$
Third Prize = 50$

You need a paypal account to get paid.

The rules will be quite simple. It is basically a remix competition for which I will be supplying the melodic content. The scope of the harmonic and melodic content will be suitable for those that prefer non melodic tech trance to Kysora homosexual trance. Everything else is up to the producer. The genre is not specific but please make it EDM. You will have about 1 month to finish the track.

The contest will be judged by some very qualified individuals that have agreed to lend their expertise for free. The winner will be decided by a very unbiased process where no style or person is favoured over the other. Each judge will be judging a certain aspect of the tune and there will be a grading criterion and rigorous feedback that will be made public so everyone has a chance to hear the tracks and see the feedback and learn. The prize money has no strings attached and all rights to the track will remain yours.

What I need right now are some contestants, The only requirement will be the use of of a certain harmonic and melodic passage which I will provide once I have enough contestants. You do not have to quote verbatim. In fact, the contestant will have to talk about their tune how they did it, how they incorporated the elements required and talk as much as they can about their track so that others can learn as well. As long as you can explain how you used the ideas no matter how mangled they are, that will be sufficient. In a way, this is sort of an assignment so that everyone including those not participating can learn. the only reason I'm including a requirement is so that nobody can just post a track that they've already spent time on.

If you already have a ton of releases and already make a living with EDM, please don't enter. I want this to be for those that are almost there and semi pro and need some encouragement.

So , if you want to enter, please pm me with contest in the subject line and provide a link to your latest track just incase I get an influx of contestants and have to narrow it down. The max amount will be 8 contestants for the sake of the judges as they are doing this for free. And since I can't really force you to finish and I don't feel like charging an entry fee, only commit if you really plant to enter. Those that don't finish the track will be insulted publicly in a manner that is quite vulgar and have their avatar changed to something quite homoerotic via the powers of Diginut.

Contest will start in a few weeks.
