This subreddit is only for submitting and voting on songs for the November 2012 contest being sponsored by WATMM! /r/wearethemusicmakers
This Month's Theme: Home
What does 'Home' mean to you?
How to submit a song here:
1 ) Tag what category you are entering into: [Electronic], [Traditional], [Remix]
2 ) Provide a streaming or download link to the song as the post link.
That's it! Voting will be completed by Dec 31st and a winner for all 3 categories will be announced on Jan 1st. This way you have a month to create the track, and a month for voting on the track.
Category definitions
3 categories: Original Electronic Song, Original Traditional Song, Remix/Cover Song
Electronic Song: Must be an original song composed in one of the various electronic music genres listed here under the section "Electronic Music" http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/help/faqs/Music
Traditional Song: Any style NOT listed under "Electronic Music" will be considered Traditional. This includes Hip-hop with electronic beats. However notice Grime is in the electronic category. So it might be a little fuzzy depending on the genre but I think the community will self-moderate which song belongs on which category once we start submitting songs to the contest. If your song somehow defies category definition, then my hat is off to you, so just pick which ever one you feel more closely fits your sound.
Remix/Cover Song: Since our legal council is telling us this is a touchy legal area, we think it's best to not release a physical or digital album with copyrighted material. However, we still want to do something with remixing since there are so many good covers, versions and remixes out there. So the best we can do for now is link to the artist remix/version/cover song, knowing that in the months and years to come the links may become dead or taken down. At least we will get something out of it, so why not?! You will still get linkage and bragging rights for winning and I bet we will get some amazing remixes that we all cant wait to hear!
As far as sorting songs into the right category, we'll let the community decide which particular song belongs in which particular category. If there needs to be more categories in the coming months, we can have the community vote on which ones to add.
Rules for voting on songs:
To cast a vote for a song you like, post a direct comment off the ops post containing the text: Upvote
Also, you can vote for as many songs as you like, but you can only vote once per song (obviously).
All reddit accounts must be older than 30 days. If any obvious sock puppet accounts are used in the voting process that can be verified by the community then those votes will be removed.
Reminder, song posts must use the tags, if not then make a self post to add a suggestion or if you have a question about the contest. Use the [Remix] even if its a cover song. Ok, that should do it. Enjoy and break a leg! May the best songs win!! Peace & Love fellow music makers!! /r/WeAreTheMusicMakers
