Animals Contest - ENTRY DEADLINE PASSED

[Gav Brown]

Hello members! Composers’ Forum is proposing the following contest - write a piece of music about an animal. The piece can be any instrumentation, any style, and should be of 2 minutes duration or less. If you are interested to join, reply to this thread indicating you would be interested in participating. In order for the contest to be a go, at least 8 composers must sign up. Please do not submit any entries at this point, just express your interest. Deadline to express interest (but *not* to submit an entry) is Oct. 7 at 5 pm EST!

Thanks Johan, you are the 17th sign-up!

[Joan A.C. Gilmore]

Hi Gav, I'm finished my piece. How do I present it, recording, YouTube, or sheet music? Also, if I'd like can I submit more than one piece?

[Gav Brown]

Hi Joan, that’s great! Friend me on this site and I will accept and send you an e-mail address you can send all the files to. You can do up to 2 pieces, and I do prefer to receive everything all at once, for both entries. Please do not have your name visible in the files -

- deadline to submit your entry to me is 11/30/18 at 5 pm EST. Entries should take the form of an MP3, or a link to an online sound file such as YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. and should not have your name visible on them if possible. A PDF score is highly desirable, but is not required, and if submitting a PDF, it should also not contain your name. Pieces should be no longer than 2 minutes duration, and each entrant may submit up to 2 entries. A short description of the piece, to include at least the animal name, is required. Questions? Ask them here!

Note to entrants: there will be prizes for this contest! Artist Julie Brown, who did such a bang-up job designing T-shirts for our 4 Elements contest last spring, is currently working on a new design for “Animals.” If you’d like to see what her art looks like, it’s here

If I send a Youtube link, I'm afraid my name will be visible somewhere on the Youtube page. Is that a problem?

[Gav Brown]

That is fine Johan!

Hi Gav,

I see that you say we need to friend you in order to send an entry, but I am having trouble figuring out how to do that. Can you send me a link or an explanation? Sorry to be such a nimrod!   Thanks, Nancy Tucker
