Way Beyond Fairlight X Competition

[jam-s]

Just a suggestion: You could add a rule to the compo that if there are less submissions than there are prices at the date of the deadline, then the deadline is extended by two weeks.

Of course

I think you should stay the course for this deadline and then assess everything then. It's a unique situation when the rules state not to publish songs until after the competition ends, so because of that, we wouldn't be seeing songs posted here. Something else to consider changing in the future.

It wouldn't be fair to those who might be participating to change the rules so late and make other adjustments. I personally wouldn't even entertain extending the deadline publicly because that just adds more information and possible confusion. I'd assess all of that after the deadline. The length for this competition is already longer than the normal competition here. That could also be an issue—putting a deadline so far out.

So that's what I think—keep promoting this competition with the current rules and deadline. A patch playthrough video would be inspiring I'm sure. Then after the deadline, assess what you have and discuss where to go from there.

Where else have you shared this competition?

Nowhere else and you are very correct, I just got the feeling no particular action was spinning.

Ok for other competitions people usually share to the Facebook groups and other forums. I'm only a member of the Rack Extension Facebook group. Sharing other places would be good. That's one of the reasons for the front page article with the featured image—it displays nicely when sharing the link.

Perfect Joey, I will share it in the brand new fb group, new members are welcome too. Thank you for the heads up!

i'd better get honking

[bitley]

Fantastic! Do it!

[bitley]

Bumpin to have y'all honkin

[jam-s]

I'm pretty much done, with my track. Just some minor tweaking with fresh ears tomorrow to be done.

The rules don't state this, but I suppose we're expected to submit the rendered audio file and the .reason file so you can check for adherence to the limitations of the competition like stated in the OP, right?

More in order to "pick your brain" and see how you did it perhaps then. Very exciting to read your responses jam-s!
