TheVideoGamer wins by default and may pick another source, for PRC411. Dj Mokram is right about this contest. It needs more promotion (outside Ocremix) to get more people participating. More is happening outside forums and the forums here are nowadays visited less. I hardly have the time to keep the contest up, so I'm unable to do some promotion of this contest which is necessary to get more life in the contest. I can keep this contest up, but that's all I can do. If anyone wants to help by promoting this contest he or she is encouraged (I'm also willing to mention this in the first post). For now, I'll just continue (and start PRC410 (round 17-08) as normal and that will also be the first rounds after that). I'm thinking about the future of this contest as well for a while, perhaps the time has come to finish the contest at some point. If anyone has any ideas, he/she is encouraged to post them in this thread. One thing is for sure, if I decide to finish and stop the contest, there will be a 'last round' (and maybe some special rounds) which will be announced at least two rounds before it will take place (meaning that I don't stop this contest in the next three months already so don't worry about that ).

First, just wanna say I've got mad respect for you (and @Rexy as well) for holding the torch all those years, providing a training ground that fostered musicianship and helped so many of us develop their skills through friendly competition, all the while paying tribute to lesser known game music, which is a mission we have in common. Every time I fell off the llifeboat and tried to claw my way back into remixing, this compo was always there to help me find the north again. So believe me, I do not wish to see it gone anytime soon. As for promotion, while I'm nowhere near popular or prolific enough to be giving PRC the props it deserves, I'm willing to do what I can on social media. You could also get in touch with starla for advice, because the OHC has got a thriving community and overwhelming participation every week, so she's bound to know the magic formula. Lastly, I believe community Discord servers (OCR, ThaSauce) would be a great place to advertise the beginning of each round, cause I betcha a lot of new remixers bypass the forums to go there. In all fairness you can't be expected to keep the compo alive all by yourself. That's admirable, but also defeats the whole purpose of a 'community' event.

Honestly it really comes down to availability. I can't do every source, because i might not like it, or it's too hard to remix. These factors can come into play. Maybe that's why nobody did Ridge Racer, because it wasn't easy. Even this has it's challenges, and it's only a 50 second genesis source. Anyways.

Hey, I missed voting on this on the panel, just wanted to add that this is super cool and I like it a lot!

@TheVideoGamer Nah, I honestly think (and I've said so in the past) that this compo deserves to be promoted in some way. Afaik, there is no advertisement/relay either on social media or in podcasts, meaning the success of this event depends largely on recurrent participation through word of mouth. Which, don't get me wrong, can be endearing as a VGM Fight Club of sorts, but at the same time is baffling considering the strength in numbers this community has. Not to mention @Bundeslang has already removed the last barrier of entry that was having to sign up on TS to participate. There very well could be half a dozen entries every round if we just posted/tweeted/talked about it outside of this forum subsection. Unless of course the point was to keep the circle small all along, in which case I'll just shut up and keep remixing.

Just popping into let everyone know this is coming very soon! just a couple loose ends to tie up!
