Remix Contest - Ca$h Prizes (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)

[Almasy Marquis]

Hi.

I'll offer $75 to whoever creates the best remix of 'Graceful Assassin,' the final battle music from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. I'll also offer $50 to the second place winner. Payment will be sent out by personal checks personally by me.

The contest begins today and ends June 22 at 12:00 PM EST. I and a panel of three other judges will evaluate the songs and decide upon the winners. Any style of music will be accepted for the contest. A first place prize will be awarded to the only entrant if only one person enters, excepting "joke" entries. The mix must be at least a minute and a half long. All submissions must be in digital format -- preferably MP3 or OGG, contact me about other options. The winner will be announced no later than June 29.

Submissions should be sent to mcleod.brendan@gmail.com.

I probably wouldnt have set this up as a competition. Request forums are good for this kinda thing, with a title like 'Kingdoms Hearts I'l pay $$$$' and put details in there. I'm thinking bout remixing it, but I wouldnt accept cash, but I also dont have alot of time (work n all)

Good luck with this though.

Hello:

This is actually a cross-post from a competition I'm holding at the OneUp boards. I cross-posted here and at VGMix to maximize the pool of potential players. I'm new to these boards and so if this isn't the right forum for competitions then I'll have it moved elsewhere. ... but this forum is called "competitions" so I'm guessing I'm in the right spot.

My efforts to "buy" remixes have always met with failure -- none of the mixers I hold in enough esteem to ask have ever given me a glimmer of hope that I could purchase specific remixes of tracks. This sort of thing is a combination of "getting to hear a song of my choice remixed" and "giving someone a chance at some cash!" It's fun and it works out well for everybody.

Thanks! Here's hoping you enter!

I'm under the impression that you also did not get permission from TO or Doulifee to open this thread, hence a breach of the Competitions forum rules and the probable removal of this thread.

Sorry, but thems the rules.

Not stepping over Douli or TO's toes, but this is fine. It wouldn't be the first competition of this type originating from the OneUp Studios boards. And keep it mind, it IS a competition. He's asking for everyone to compete in order to win the prize.

Let it ride, I say.

Also, if anyone has qualms about a cash prize, either request Almasy to donate it to a charity of your choice, or donate the money yourself.

If I win, I'l donate the money to Liontamer for a YES vote (btw, the Scumball song IS progressing, I'l PM it to ya when I get it to a higher quality level)

i saw the thread yesterday. i though to let it roll. Now that i know it's also a cross-board competition i don't see problem there indeed. Time for extra cash guy if your short on money.http://www.oneupstudios.com/boards/showthread.php?t=4383 (http://www.oneupstudios.com/boards/showthread.php?t=4383)

Thanks. Sorry about not clearing it first -- I was posting at work so I sped through without checking out the rules beforehand. I'll go through the channels next time!

that said, i'll give it a shot. maybe. if i have time.

[Sir_NutS]

Maybe. I don't like too much the money idea since I do this competitions for fun and not to win, and pressuring myself to make it so I can win... doesn't leaves the bests results.

But we'll see.

[Alex Smith]

The original music is amazing - I've just listened to it.

Even if I don't enter, I'll look forward to hearing all the remixes.

[Escariot]

Does this competition give you "exclusive rights" to the remix? Or are you just offering a prize in the form of cash?

[Almasy Marquis]

All I'm offering is the prize. You're welcome to do whatever you like with your remix beyond entering it into this contest.

Kunal Majmudar won the last contest I held, and had his winning entry accepted to OCRemix: http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01470/
