Songwriting Competition Submission Thread
Please post your conversation in the other thread.
You're allowed to submit up to three clips.
The deadline is midnight, July 27th. This gives everyone this week and the weekend to write, record, etc. for the competition.
Here's how I'll judge everything:
-Originality+Creativity ( is this the same crap I've heard before? )
-Cohesion ( does it make sense as a song? )
-Time ( does this go on forever, or is it too short? )
-Complexity ( is this something more than strumming power chords? )
-Quality ( do I like this piece? )
You'll either get 0 points ( totally lacking ), 1 point ( average grade ), or 2 points ( exceptional ), for a minimum of 0 points ( shitty song ) and 10 points ( masterpiece! )
You are allowed to submit music of any kind. MIDI works, Guitar Pro works, a recording works. I will not judge based on recording quality, but if two songs are tied then I will use recording quality to break the tie.
Let the games begin!

^agreed unless ofcourse, it's worse recording quality than mayhem's old shit. i think if it comes down to 2 songs, it's should be about originality and uniqueness

If you want to be another judge, feel free. If you don't like that I'm a judge, don't submit. This isn't "life or death", or even "do you get a cookie?".

How would you suggest breaking a tie, then? Originality and creativity is already a category that I am judging on, as well as complexity. As far as I can tell, recording quality is a great way to make the difference. But if you have a better idea, please let me know. |
