I've just assumed these song challenges are about original songs, not that I have a strong opinion about it.
I mean one of the criterias for judging is "songwriting". I guess "originality and creativity" could still apply to cover songs if you try hard enough.
Whether or not covers are allowed, the fun for me with these competitions is that I have to come up with some new songs.

I will update the rules to make it clear that all entries must be original songs.

What do you mean with external plugins? Do you mean vst plugins or RE plugins like Echobode are not allowed?

I used only the the Legend Synth for the synth sounds. The only thing is the name of the synth has changed during the beta of the Legend and this song was made with an older build of this synth before it was called the Legend.

I confirm that this song was made under the song challenge rules, if RE plugins like Dcam and Echobode are allowed for this contest.

Yes, external plugins refers to vst plugins and the like. Dcam and Echobode are permitted so you're all set.
