"A pres. B" is usually only used when "A" is introducing a new alias "B". Since A and B are completely different it would be best to keep them seperate.

Possible TA Anthem Plan #1
Firstly, main melodies are be created by the TA's. As this is an "anthem" it's important to have a distincive melody. Melodies are submitted in MIDI format and Swamper (if he's feeling up to the challange again) chooses his favourite from the bunch.
Once one melody is selected TA's can make a track with this melody. A Remix Competition style contest can take place to decide the best version of the track with the chosen melody. A number of TA's who did not submit a track will judge the tracks anonymously, and if you really want to get the whole of TA involved the top few tracks will be voted on by the whole of Tranceaddict to decide the winner.
There should be no shortage of melodies submitted as the prospect of having your melody selected and numerous remixes being made of it isn't a chance that comes along every day.
Also the number of remixes should be high as it's an opportunity for your music to be the Tranceaddict Anthem for the year. And if the top few tracks are to be listened to by the Tranceaddicts to decide the winner, this will provide a lot of coverage for you peeps!
The final track will be presented as "Melody Creator - Track Name (Remixer Name) [Tranceaddict Anthem 2005]"
...any suggestions/comments/critique etc?
I would just like to add that I think my idea is the best...

I'm 100% behind this idea. Aside from the bonus that you'll actually have two winners (the melody producer and the remixer), it'll also produce some excellent variations. These could even be ranked by vote count afterwards to produce a 'top three' or whatever.
Re: The Giant Collab
It looks like a great idea on paper ... but lets face it, it's impossible Anyone here ever do any project management? Managing that many producers with very different styles and ideas would be a nightmare ... and ultimately fruitless I think.

Swamper only had the midi files last time around, and it's hard to judge a melody properly that way (he had to play them in Winamp, if i recall correctly). so a "more complete" composition should be better indeed.
synthwork and composition is a HUGE part of a track, as well as the melody... can you imagine Hydra - Affinity on some weak sinewave synth?
i think submissions should be in mp3 format, but a short sample of what lead should sound like. it's extremely hard to judge a melody by a midi
Exactly. MIDI doesnt show how it sounds, coz there might be a delay, some tremolo, it could be either legato or retriggered....plus i think the sound itself is just as important as the melody its playing.

Fine then, just there is a little problem, what about those who can not export to MIDI like me?
I just can not export to MIDI with my FL Studio for some reason, tho, I'm sure I can come up with an enjoyable Anthem Melody.
Couldn't I submit FLP files?

You can send them on to me if you like .. I'll extract the midi for you
And of course if they're good, I might accidently get them mixed up with my own submission
