Contest: THE 4 ELEMENTS: DEADLINE TO SUBMIT ENTRIES HAS PASSED, CONTEST CLOSED, VOTING TO BEGIN SOON!!

[Gav Brown]

Hi Composers’ Forum members, as you know, the 4 elements are earth, air, fire, and water. For this proposed contest, you will write a piece of music of no more than 2 minutes duration based on one of these elements. Any instrumentation, any style of music. If the contest is a go, I will give 3 months for interested composers to submit their entries to me, which I will then put up anonymously. Voting will be by the membership of this site. You can submit entries for more than one element. An MP3 or link to a soundcloud/youtube/etc will be necessary. A PDF of the score is highly desirable, but not required. In order for this contest to be a go, 10 composers need to express interest by Sunday, Jan. 21 at 5 pm EST. To express interest, reply to this thread or send me a message. Please indicate in your expression of interest what element or elements you think you might want to compose for (you can change this later). Please note that I do not need any music at this time, just an expression of interest. I have run these contests before, they are a lot of fun and a good way to get feedback about your music from your peers, hope you can join us!

I'm in with... WATER, is ok? 

[Sid Dellby]

Great contest! I'll have a go at earth.

[Juan Maria Solare]

I am interested. If I have to limit myself to the 4 , possibly Fire. But I would actually choose ether :-)

Did you say something about a prize?

wish you a nice start in 2018

I've not been on here much but this has attracted my attention and I'd like to give it a go :)

Good to see a large take up on this Gavin

[Daniel J. Scerbo]

Happy New Year to all. Would like to enter - fire is my choice.

[Clinton S. Clark]

I would be interested in participating in this as well. Sounds like fun . . .

[Marc Eugene Farmer]

I would be interested in participating, however I compose within a DAW and don't really have the means or desire to produce a score- I would have to submit a hand written manuscript and with the likelihood of using electronic elements that would be more work than I would care to do.  How much of a penalty would there be for not submitting a score?

[Steven White]

I'm in and I'll choose water. Thanks for setting this up.

[Fabrizio Festa]

What about an electroacoustic or electronic piece? Thanks in advance

[Gav Brown]

Thanks Tyler, Kelly, Andrew, Vasco, Sid, Juan, Rob, Daniel, Clinton, Marc, Steven, and Frabrizio! We now have 52 entrants, with 14 commits to Water, 7 commits to Earth, 9 commits to Fire, 6 commits to Air, and the rest general commits. The commits can be changed at any time.

Hi Farbrizio, that's fine!
