Award Request Thread

[PeterthePapercomPoser]

We staff have decided that it might be a good idea to open the awarding of badges up to the members, not just the staff.  The staff aren't perfect and can sometimes miss some good opportunities to award badges to members for some of their excellent or distinctive content.  So if you feel like you have been overlooked for an award you deserve - let us know!  Tell us which piece you think deserves what kind of award/badge and why and we will consider granting it to you.  You can also suggest awards for other fellow composers' works!  Refer to the following list of manually awardable badges.  If a badge doesn't exist for your particular achievement you can suggest new badges/awards in that thread:

I'm surprised no one wrote anything here YET, so:
I'm a history buff, theory buff and orchestration buff
I got performed just once...
Am a period composer (of late 19th century and early 20th century dances)
Brass aficionado and woodwind aficionado
Dance music impresario for that matter
Amorous romanticist
Programmatic composer
I don't know if 1930's cartoon music counts for "film buff" or "film music enthusiast" but I am a buff of that
And I almost composed the soundtrack to a pastiche of that but that thing was cancelled so I'm not even a debatable "film composer"

Thanks for your enthusiasm!  Do you have a specific piece you want a specific badge awarded to?

For the Outstanding Orchestrator badge, you may look into pieces below which are awarded the badge for your reference:

For the "Better than Thatguy" badge, actually it's named so because one of our moderator's username is @Thatguy v2.0, so you may check out his works to see if you are better than him or not lol!

Some badges must me earned. Some are given freely, but there is one badge that rules them all. 

Legend holds that a mysterious "better than thatguy" badge is given only to a chosen few. You must search through the members profiles and sift through their badges to gain further knowledge.

I wish you well in your quest.

Oh I see. Sorry for this. Your username sure is "generic" though and that could have led me to even more "trouble".

Glad there's interest in the badges, I forget about them 😄
