Actually, I think that's a good point. Morivou, will you provide entrants with each judge's comments on their piece? Perhaps it is a good idea to define and quantify creativity and passion.

While subjective and possibly disagreeable, it's still valuable feedback and I personally would love to know how my piece affects the audience and why it receives the score it does.

If it is about communication then your parameters are still way too broad for your judgment to be of value because as you IMPLY the composers have to determine your aesthetic as well as two judges to communicate. Well, is creativity this guessing game of reading your audience? Is Passion how diligently you worked to read the judge/audiences? Or, as you suggest, you should not care and write SIMPLY. What happens if it doesn't score well? Does that mean the composer lacks creativity and passion in your view and the judges? What happens if they win? In either case what use is your judgment to their development aside from the practice of composing? You don't provide a summary of your comments - just a score for the top placers. What use is that for them?

ACTUALLY, Ad Hoc. When I ran competitions, I required ALL of my judges to provide feedback for EVERYone's piece. So, since you brought it up, I will instill that old dictum.

However, it won't be but a paragraph for everyone's piece... if I get in all these entries... the judges will be stacked for days trying to figure out WTH to do. haha.

I don't see what the problem is about having the parameters being "too broad". Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that was kind of the point of this competition... be creative and do whatever you need to do to create and represent an emotion through music.

Morivou,

Based on all these switches, a bunch of people should probably just do confusion. :laugh:

:) That would make for one exciting competition...

BUT, you're right. I was going to do this tomorrow... but I think I'll just do it right now.

NO MORE SWITCHING. DEAL WITH IT. :)

Which is another good option for some of the participants!

I put a strict closing date for entries on August 13th. That date has long passed. Sorry, but I just can't bend rules.

I say you should grant him grace and make a kind acception, as he wasn't *that* late. Plus, he has to defend his title from last month. :toothygrin:
