Want to win $100 from your music? Like remix stems? You're in the right place.
Welcome to the Re-Remix Me Competition!
I had the idea while making this track, which is itself a remix of one of my previous works.
Original
I think it sounds pretty awesome, but I'd bet $225 five of you reading this thread can do better!
Summary:
The competition will consist of 3 rounds, an audition, a shootout in which you remix your competitors, and the coup de grâce, remixing my track – plus the prize money. It will span May 1st through July 6th.
Prizes:
- 1st Place - $100
- 2nd Place $50
- 3rd-5th Places - $25
Thanks to @TomFulp, the TOP 5 will receive those coveted FRONTPAGES!
Second round participants will receive stems for "YOU METAL RMX", whether you make it to the finals or not! This includes license to use them commercially, as described in the readme. If you run into problems with your DSPs regarding your remixes, just hit me up.
Best part? You can lock in your audition today!
HOW TO ENTER
Post to this thread with:
- a small blurb about your artist/track's history
- your very best track on Newgrounds, ever!
Stage 1: Auditions
Remixes are encouraged but not necessary. Simply select a complete piece of yours which you feel is representative of your capabilities as a music producer and post to the thread!
No rules besides that your audition must follow NG Audio Guidelines.

Round 1 begins immediately after this post. Scores and winners will be announced May 16th.
Scoring: ten-point scale breakdown of Production, Mixing, Mastering, and Style.
Stage 2: Onto the real competition!
Half of participants will survive to Round 2, which will consist of remixes and covers of your competitors!
On May 20th, you will be randomly assigned an entrant's track to remix. You will have until June 10th to remix their entry from the previous round.
If there is an odd number of competitors, you will be assigned the first runner-up from the previous round!
I will take one week to judge everyone's entries. During judging, everyone will be given a copy of "YOU" stems via DM.
Half of entrants will pass this stage. The top 3 will receive frontpages.
Stage 3: Let the best remix win!
The final round will begin June 15th and last until July 6th.
There are no rules for just how hard you can go, only that your entry should use recognizable melodies or stems from the pack. No genre restrictions apply.
You may choose to COVER the vocals or instruments in a different style, so long as the above is true.
Genre-bending is encouraged. That’s how this track was born!
I will take a week to work out the winners, and if necessary call in another judge to impartially break ties.

Some extra stuff about rules and payments
Obviously, no AI generated content or violating NG rules as specified above. Such entries will be disqualified and banned.
Replies without a small blurb, either about your artist history or track history will be ignored (with notice). Tell us your story!
Must be a member of Newgrounds for at least 30 days by the closing of Round 2 to participate. That's June 10th, 2025. This is to discourage random people from Gumroad from spamming the thread to get free stems.
Must have a way for me to pay you to receive prize money! Otherwise we'll have to figure something out, like supporter status! I can process payouts with Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp, Square, and some other online merchants.
You may choose to defer your prize money to another competitor of your choice.
Audience donations to the prize pool are accepted. Please send any donations to my NG inbox. I will announce them here once we're sure they're a definite!
Applications for tie-breaker judge to be discussed via PM!
That’s it. Now, who wants to win some cash?
