Hi guys!!!! It's me again, everyone's 3rd favourite Pippi (after, of course, Longstockings and the Mother 1 character)! Gosh, it feels like it's only been one month and 2 days since I last ran one of these, how crazy! Anyway, there's no time like the present, so without further ado, your theme is...........
The 81st SOTF Songtest: The Credits
i'm very amused that the eastenders credits screen was one of the first google results i found when searching 'the credits', if you submit the eastenders theme you probably will not win the competition but you WILL win my respect and admiration
Anyway! Lets get your very favourite thing, The Rules, done and out of the way!
- [+] Da Rulez
- - Submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you
- Songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.
- Listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.
- If your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.
- The top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.
- Repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.
- Winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.
- I'm still Pip!!!
General song rules:
- No eurovision songs
- No reality show/competition covers
- No songs already submitted in a songtest
- There is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!
Each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- If you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- Extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.
This is a pretty simple theme, really! This contest is all about credits themes; opening credits, closing credits, midway credits if those are a thing, so long as its a song played over a list of the cast and crew of A Thing, then it's a-okay for submission! I'm also not gonna limit this to just themes MADE for the credits; if there's a pre-existing song you love that was used for the credits of your favourite movie, then by all means, send that on over!
Signups will last for three (3) days, so that's Wednesday for all ny'all! Send your songs to me via Discord or via Board PM, I'm fine with either! And most importantly... good luck, and have fun!
