Welcome to the 95th SOTF Song Contest!
Today's theme is:
Optimism
In the spirit of the new year, it's time for some high hopes and fresh starts. I'm not going to be super specific about this, any song that you'd consider to have a positive outlook on either the present or the future would be acceptable. Here's to 2022 being better than 2021!
- [+] Obligatory Rules Spoiler
-
- Send in your songs via board PM or Discord
- Songs will be divided into 1-3 semifinals, probably 2, if you can't be here for the first semifinal please contact me and I will put your song in the next round!
- Listen to every song in your round and give them votes, 12 for your favourite, 10 for your next favourite, then 8 for the third, 7 for the fourth, and so until you give 1 point to your tenth favourite. Not voting will result in your song getting DQ'd! Rounds last for 3 or more days.
- You can still vote if you're not in a round, as a public vote, which counts for half the points.
- The top songs move onto the finals, with the number depending on the number of songs in a round.
- Repeat the voting process with the finals, and that's how we'll determine the ultimate winner of the tournament arc.
- Submit your songs before the first round starts, not gonna let people jump in after the first round starts, etc.
- Whoever gets the most points will get to host the next contest. If they pass, it goes to second place, then third, and so on.
- General songtest rules:
- Nothing that has been submitted before. If your song is over ten minutes people only have to listen to the first ten minutes.
- Please be nice in chat.
I'll be doing my own votes before the round starts. I'll be giving reminders about every day whenever I remember. Extensions are probably not a thing unless you suffer severe RL stuff, like health issues, or being swamped with work and only getting a chance to listen an hour or so before deadline. Or being taken away into the forest by the fair folk. Any of the above.
I reserve the right to add anything blazingly obvious that I forgot.
Signups should run for a little over three days, ending on Thursday, January 6th at 11:59 PM EST. You can send me your submissions through board pm or on discord (my discord name is Krokodil). I'm looking forward to see what you all come up with!
