Symphonic Competition

Looks like the deadline just passed. When do the judges get the submissions?

ARGH!

My computer craps out at the most inopportune moments.

So... I will open up a Submissions thread for this competition. If you are still in, and you have a piece to submit, please attach it or post a link to it in that thread. The judges will then download everyone's pieces and submit detailed and scored (out of 100%) judgings to me within 2 weeks. If you are not sure whether you're a judge or not, go ahead and judge anyway.

Just to confirm, a MIDI and score are required, and an mp3 is optional?

The thread and rules are up. If you have any questions, please PM them to me.

So after all this, only three people submit entries?

What the hell? There were 26 contestants!!!

You all are pathetic. It won't even mean shit now if I win.

Thank you all for ruining this with your laziness.

My thoughts exactly, Chris. They bitched and moaned to get their way, then failed to follow through in the end.

It happens every time.

I think the problem is there is no incentive to win.

People can't be happy with the satisfaction of winning, they need something to coerce them to try.

Look at the Film Music competition, how many entries did it have?

This may well be true, but what can we feasibly offer?

I sent out a PM to the judges a while ago asking for their judgings. So far, I've only received judgings from one of them. I've re-sent the message and will allow up to five more days for the rest to come up with the goods, after which time I'll declare the winner of the competition based on whatever judgings are to hand.

It's worth noting, however, that April is often a busy time of year insofar as exams etc., so some of the judges may simply not have had time.

I say you re-open the submissions thread, give people another chance to submit there compositions and wait until there is enough compositions for this contest to actually have a meaning.
