Young Composers' Ragnarok Competition

I will post a list of criteria when the submission date aproaches. What i can tell you now is that this will be judged based on quality, not quantity (A 5:00 long composition will be judged the same way as a 1:00 composition).

t'will be point based.

oook ........but .....it would be soo much nicer if we had it now :lol:

I would love to put something up rigth now, but i simply don't have enough time! I've got a lot of work to do, as well as to deal with some..... psychological issues. (you know what i mean)

Ok, no problem then, put 'em up when you're ready. :lol:

t'will be point based.

Does that mean we (the judges) won't be discussing the pieces amount ourselves and rank the entries independently?

Yes!

will we be alowed to post just a finale or a sibelius file, without the mp3?

I'd like to compete in this, but there's no guarantee I'll have the time.

Wolf: Did you read the first post?

dbzgod9: I can't sign you in if you don't know for certain. Yeh'r welcome to join if you find the time! :lol:

This sounds fun!! I'd be willing to help judge if more judges are needed.

PS: After this contest it would be fun to do a Christmas Carol contest, that is to say, who can write the catchiest little jingle-like melody to some Christmas Poem or something. What do you think?

Just start a thread to announce it within this category "Music Competition". I would sign up!

Oh, no way Letehn. xD

Let's see. May I still join this competition? If so, I have some trippy ideas about a Theremin and a Piano.

Oh yes! ;] (----------

Everybody's in! we're a big happy family!

So Coda, you back for good? What happened?

PS: Your avatar creeps me out! It looks like one of those weird monsters from silent hill 2. :D

I don't think it'll hurt for him to try - it's not like this a tournament where brackets need to be balanced. If he can't submit by the deadline, you can just cross his name off the list, no harm done.

No, if everyone were to do that. I wouldn't be sure of how many judges i would need.

Edit: This was a response to spc1st's post.

Guys,

Question:

If I sit down at my piano, hit "Record," and completely improv a 5 minute or so piece, then submit it as a simple MP3 with no notation, will that qualify?

Ha, wow, I was actually thinking a few days ago, there should be a separate competition for improvisation, but only for the people who can upload their mp3's elsewhere.

A discussion thread devoted to this can be found here

Although it is rather late at this point, I was wondering if I could throw my hat into the ring as well for the compeition.

Of course.

I was wondering.....maybe we should a few more judges? Right now they are outnumbered by contestants, 5 to 12. Maybe at least one more judge and I think we'll be set.

Yeah, we do need another judge. I will as around, J.Lee perhaps?
