So vote for your favorites!  The poll is multiple choice so you can vote for multiple pieces for each category.  If there is a tie we will simply award the badge to two (or more) people!  And don't forget to have fun!  (And you're also allowed to vote for yourself, but everyone will know you did so since the voter names are public!  LoL)  The poll closes on Monday, November 3rd at 11:59 pm PST so cast your votes before then!  (And preferably have all your reviews also done before then so we can award the Ardent Reviewer badges to those who have painstakingly and meticulously reviewed all the entries!)

The poll is now closed and the results are in!  Go to the results and winners page here:

To listen to all the entries go to the Submissions Thread:

Hey Peter. Sorry I ended up missing out these last few days of the month. Personal-side issues, on quite a severe level, have had my focus diverted on them rather than here. Since Music is more of a Hobby for me, I'm unable to prioritize it often. 

I will still go through and provide feedback for the pieces I missed, as time permits, for the sake of integrity and following through with what I helped to plan for the forum with you all. 🙂

You can still do it, there are 6 hours left to finish them and earn the "Ardent Reviewer" badge!! Of course you can do it later, but you will lose the badge!! 😘

@PeterthePapercomPoserThanks for asking ^^ I won't be reviewing this round for now, since I'm new I don't feel that I should, but perhaps in the upcoming events I will definitely be involved, I'm really impressed with this site and quite happy to have stumbled upon it.
