An extra $250 is nice though.

Extra money is always a bonus, but if people want to get serious with music they should be looking at what a contest (and the prize) will do for them in terms of publicity, which ultimately will result in more jobs and revenue. It's similar to a long term investment.

well its not my best nor is it my worst...

Publicity, however great... is good for bussiness. But I cannot find any satisfaction in publicity for some reason. I find the greatest satisfaction in knowing I've created something I've always dreamed to create. The closer I get to creating the perfect masterpiece... the more satisfied I am. Of course this can't be said for every person.

But I do declare... I wouldn't rule out the possibility that someone else could win quite yet. I tip my hat to your proffesionalism and absolutley stunning work, but since Christmas is so close to the heart of many of our judges I'm sure... perhaps a different piece can strike an old memory and a pleasant nerve, where Mr.Orr's piece could not.

But... again... in all likelyhood lol... *sigh*... sometimes you just can't beat a pro.

Wooord homies. It's time for another list. :D I'm proud to present my entry there aswell. It's more like some "original" around here I think...Ah well...check for yourselfs, or I'll drink your beers. ;) Keep in mind that the final judging list will be provided by Rucklo, not by me!

Deadline is 11/01/2006 - 00 : 00 AM

IMPORTANT!! Guys and Gurls, those contests are based on a certain topic. You not just submit a song and presto. You SHOULD create a song that fits the theme of the contest. In this case "christmas". I noticed that some entries that aren't quite christmas like. Be aware that you could get sorted out in the FINAL JUDGEMENT list because you failed to archieve the goal with your submission. RUCKLO and LJCOFFEE got the final word here.

You can submit:

- 1 Audio for the contest (original or cover)
- 2 christmas Audios for the collection thread (originals or covers)

Alrighty ladys...last but not least the semi-final? SUBMISSION list!

New subs are "bold", so that you guys can better see what's NEW. ;)

Bump.

Also, I have something very important to say. *clears throat*--

Aw, who am I kidding? Carry on.

Not more than 6 hours till the deadline. Last minute submitters if you wanna roll in...DO IT NOW!!!

Well they'd better I mean hell Darkside you ain't gonna stay up all night updating the list lol.

A Familiar Blanket of Snow

Same song, Garritan sounds. Thanks, Simon. The MIDI version is now not a contestant. This is the contestant. Lol at last-minute changes.

sry man, no changes of track allowed. Check back teh rules.

i said contestant for mamberiences!

Whooo deadline is up, y´all!

Now what will happen is that all 24 submissions will recieve a judgement. 20 was supposed to be the limit, but what the hell, four more aint htat much ;)

LJCoffee and myself have set the deadline for the judgement to be done saturday 4:th november, and it will most likley take a couple of days after that until the results are out!

So, be patient everyone :D

Also, those who were supposed to be judging, but hasn´t replied to my Judge-PM, please do so A.S.A.P, or else somone else will get to judge instead.

And that indeed do mean that we are looking for backupjudges (*sigh*)... So, if you haven´t entered the contest, and feel like you have some time to spend judging contest entries as an honourable judge, contact LJCoffee or me as soon as possible!!!! There might actually be a couple of judges that are needed... :(

Sry, i forgot;

The radiogrounds.com show that will announce the winners is PRIMARILY set to 11th november. I´ll have more info out as soon as more is decided!

Yeah, right...you said...

I GOT ONE!!!! OMG!~!!@!

Way to go to say it's a contestant. It's your own fault that it is in non-contestant atm. I'm said if they aren't marked correct, I don't accept them or I push them into non-contestant. PM Rucklo that it is your contest entry.

It's the same song, dammit. It's just a better recording. Since when can I not change it? I read the entire rules. >: (

lol

Well, as far as I remember you can't just submit a track and then submit a better version after it. Baah, not my problem. Ask Rucklo bout it, if it is ok. He provides teh final list. ^^

9 - There will be NO changing of contest audios, unless there have been a mistake one way or another. If that is the case, PM/e-mail me and explain what the deal is. Therefore, make sure that you´re satisfied with your contest entry before submitting it!

Re-read the rules then :)

The thing is that if one person is allowed to change his entry at the final hour, more will want to do this, and that add stress and work for us who´s working with the contest.
The MAC-crew spend spare time making this show, and belive it or not - we all have IRL´s to tend to... :)
I don´t want to come out as a total dickhead, but the rules are there to make things easier and smoother for both MAC crewmembers and contestants...
If you wish, the later version can appear in the collection thread.

For you all who are full of anticipation of who the winner is, stay tuned. I´m still working on the radiogroundsshow, and it seems we´ll get another DJ this time... that´s the word on the street anyway... ^^

And like I mentioned in the previous page, more judges are needed. SO if you´re not in the contest and feel like joining the MAC judging crew, just drop LJCoffee or me a PM!!!

GRUMS

OMG can't wait!! >: (

lol... I compare this contest to Christmas Morning.

Sometimes when you've snooped around the house... you get a glimpse of what your "Big Present" is going to be. So christmas morning... you have a slight feeling of dissapointment knowing what it is... but your excited none the less... but you also are excited to open all the smaller gifts that you have no clue about.

In this case the big present would be the "Winner" and the smaller presents are the other top 4.

Anyone pickin up on my analogy here? lol

Well...yeah, kinda. :)

I just hope it doesn't take forever like the last MAC. >: (
altr is such an ass. XD

Oh and Dan, if you haven't seen it before, I managed to submit an entry. :) *refers to given review*
Ph3Ar it! >: (

lolz

I FINALLY got the time to listen to al lthe submissions in this contest (íve been stuck on a dial up, and been busy with school and other lame excuses...:) and I just gotta say;

GREAT JOB to EVERYONE who submitted to this contest! Sersiouly, I got really surprised when listening to all the songs! Not that I expected crap, or i wouldn´t have done the contest, but I really gotta say that all songs are x-masish, and some of the songs are extremley good stuff!
I really hope you all who have entered this contest gets to be used in a flash or two!!! Y´all deserve it, nqa!!!

As for the judging and all that, I know many of you are waiting for the results. Well, so am I!!! :)

As you might have figured out already, there´s a slight delay (as usual, it seem:), but I think that it aint gonna be as delayed as the previous one. Things are starting to run a little smoother now.

We´ve all judges needed, but you never know... in case You would want to voulenteer as a backupjudge, please PM me and let me know (all backupjudges are currently active judges:). In the unfortunate case of a judge or two missing the deadline, You as a backupjudge have teh oppurtunity to save the day!

The current deadline for the judges is monday, the list of songs will be PM´ed to each and every one of you later on today!

Primarily, the radiogroundsshow is set to this following thursday, 9:th november, but this isn´t 100% yet, it´s just a date to keep the anticipating ones at bay :)

More info will follow...

And I came here expecting to see some winners <.<

Guess I'll come back later when results are in.

Results will not be available for a few days - the judging is in progress and we should have the results early next week.

As a reminder to everyone who is participating as a judge, If you haven't yet checked your PM's then now is the time to do it!

Another thanks to everyone who volunteered their time and gave up the chance at winning the cash in order to help us judge this MAC. For your selfless contributions, you've earned some well deserved respect and admiration from the AF. Who knows? Maybe you'll get a little something for helping out! ;)
