It is the 25th August 2021, 4:30 UTC+2/CEST -
this month's Songwriting Competition has official ended
Welcome back to our regulars, and very warm welcome to those "dipping a toe" into songwriting this month.
If I didn't miscount, we had 6 participants this month, which would sadly be 8 entries less compared to last month (14 entries), and 7 less compared to last year (13 entries). Please scroll further down below to read up on the game mechanics and the voting process.
The "staff balancing vote" add-on rule
does not apply (I
might add final words regardless / step in if there are ties)
"Sole Winners Podium" rule (equal or less than eight participants results in a single winner)
does apply. (1-position Winners Podium)
There was no (number: 0) production submitted after the deadline
No (number: 0) entry
has been disqualified (productions released outside of the game's timeframe)
No (number: 0) entry has been redacted
How do we go from there?
Over the course of the next (hopefully) 24-48 hours (usually up to 6-12 hours maximum after the game has ended), I'll gather all links into one post and hot-link to that from the first post of the thread. Please, no more changes to your entries, but please do check your links that these entries are downloadable. We then perform with the final feedback and "public vote" system.
We have 6 participants. That means that each participant can vote for 5 tracks, the staff will
will not cast a balance vote, unless there is a tie that can't be broken (or if it would add a bit more spin to the game).
Keep the
Rules and Guidelines in mind. As long as we're not exceeding 20 participants, let's give feedback to all participants and(!) cast your vote for all of them.
The Top 5 list can look something like this:
01 (10 pts) - Mr Moon
02 (09 pts) - Mr Sun
03 (08 pts) - Mrs Venus
04 (07 pts) - Mr Mars and his companions
05 (06 pts) - ...
Please take a look at the last two Songwriting Competition for how your feedback and vote could look like (sans the super technical information):
SWC047 - Song Collection and follow-up
SWC046 - Song Collection and follow-up
Please cast your vote in collective form through the "spoiler text" bbcode:
Code: Select all
[spoil]01 (00 pts) participant
02 (00 pts) participant
03 (00 pts) participant[/spoil]
Please use the forum username of the participant to make it easier during the score collection to address what vote belongs to whom.
Please also take note of the
Rules and Guidelines (
see post #7) on giving feedback (
mandatory for all participants, the only main criteria to get disqualified if you do not participate). Even if you already gave feedback prior to the deadline, please offer some final encouraging words, and maybe give some additional tips for improvements on the way.
Feedback from non-participants is highly encouraged (voting not needed!). The same goes for entries after the deadline, or those that sadly do not count for the current running game (even if you've exceeded the deadline, why not post your entry regardless?). Musicians and Engineers are always after constructive criticism. This is what this forum is about.
