BitJam Music Competition #01
Open High Quality Remix Compo
General Info:
BitFellas are pleased to announce our first ever (BitFellas / BitJam) Music Competition this is the first (and hopefully will not be the last) time that we are going to do this on BitFellas so get your instruments out and let's get ready to JAM!
The BitFellas community has a wealth of talent, and this is a chance for all you musicians out there to share with us and show us all what you can do. The compo will be open to everyone as well, BitFellas or not!
Please note that only registered BitFellas members will be able to vote. All the tracks on the compo system will allow you to place a ranked vote meaning that you will be able to give each track a score that reflects how much you like it, using our Custom Voting Plugin
The best tracks from the compo will be used in a special edition of the BitJam Podcast. There is also the possibility of prizes which will be discussed onsite.
Winners will also be acknowledged in the BitJam database with special mention on their Song & Artist page for instance: some sort of icon displaying the fact that youre a winner!
Currently we already have the following people ready to participate in the compo: Virgill, ne7, Vincenzo, Serpent, 505, Buzzer, and Cons.
General Competition Rules:
The competition is open from XX-XX-08 to XX-XX-08.
All entries must be submitted before the deadline.
Use of copyrighted samples and material is not allowed and your track will be disqualified if we find this, sorry we have to be careful in regards to copyright law to be honest its more fun if you make everything yourself from scratch anyway eh?
Voting will open shortly after the deadline has been reached and will continue until XX-XX-08
Max song length in minutes is 5:00 - anything else will be chopped mercilessly!
Open High Quality Remix Compo Rules:
We have selected 3 great tracks that we feel have great remix possibilities, you may choose only ONE sample set to make your remix with and can only submit ONE tune, so choose wisely!
Your choices are:
Firefox & Tip - Musiklinjen
Little Bitchard - Diskosimulaatio
Reed - Meet The Family
Your entry can use some or all of the original samples, using your own instruments is highly encouraged to make your remix more unique. Please try and actually "remix" the track into something new and don't just re-arrange the song.
Shortly after the deadline has been reached, we will make all the tracks available for voting, we will announce this on the site when ready.
We reserve the right to pre-select songs that show no effort towards remixing any of the tunes, and also any 'joke' remixes that were not made with sincere intention to compete in the competition.
Please familiarize yourselves with the General Competition Rules as well at the top of this rules sheet as we really dont want to pre-select or disqualify anyone from this compo , thank you.
