Symphonic Competition

Sure, that should be fine.

erm yeh ill have a go:)

I didnt have the time to enter, had to move and stuff.

I am curious when is the deadline? And will we get to hear the entries then?

The deadline's going to be sometime in March. Once the deadline is over I'll have people post their stuff in a thread in the Submissions forum, free for anyone to hear, and for the judges to download and comment on.

Ok thanks, I look forward to hearing them.

I'm in....

I have a month....so I should be able to do this!

:-D

I suppose Nico is out. A pity.

yeah, from the first movement and what he'd shown me of one of the other movements his one was going to be very interesting

Well, that just leaves me with a better chance of winning... :P

I would like to be a judge too

I don't think I'm gonna finish it in time.

When is the exact deadline?

THE DEADLINE: So far, let's shoot for the middle of March.

sooner than i thought

OH, GARD!

My computer DIED AGAIN!!! So I'm only online when I have the time and energy to waltz over to the computer lab and use their fancy Macs (which is what I'm using right now, so jealous). And my piece is still unfinished, but it could use a nice deadline, or I could use a swift kick in the pants, at least. So let's say the official deadline for entries is: the end of the day (11:59 EST, only because that's what my time zone is) Friday, March 30th! This should be enough time for everyone to finish up and polish their scores!

So get working dammit!!!

--and I'll set up the thread where you can post your entries, ONLY AFTER THE DEADLINE.

You have rotten luck with computers, Nick. ;)

I'll put an announcement up spreading the word on the deadline. I altered the time you specified from 11:59 to 23:59 just to avoid any confusion. At least, I assume this is what you meant - feel free to correct me.

out of interest, what will that be GMT?

I believe EST is GMT +5 hours, so 18:59 GMT.

Heh, damn other works....haven't worked on my piece for this much lately :musicwhistle:....perhaps I'll pull some all-nighters :glare:.

Well, I guess it would be good to say that once you have completed your piece, please let me know by PM. (as soon as it is 100% completed). Then, once the deadline is over, you need to post your piece in the Submissions thread BEFORE that Monday (the 2nd), EST again. Then judges will have a week and a half - 2 weeks to judge them.

I'm sorry, but (as much as I have advocated for the symphonic competition) I'm going to have to withdraw for a couple of reasons.. but I'm definitely going to participate in the next competition. (I just think I'm too new right now in music and I'm focusing on familiarizing myself with everything. I don't want to write down my thematic material just yet, instead I'll focus on more basic and general things first.)

If it's possible, I'd like to enter.

Can the work have been performed already? if so count me in.

That's a yes to Schubert, but a no to Beethovensheir. Sorry, the rules stipulate that the work must be new.

I would like to enter too! thanks

I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw as I am nowhere close to being finished...
