Atropos Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 VOTING Voting will last 1 week, opening Sunday, February 21 as soon as I post the entries and closing Saturday, February 27 at 11:59 PM EST. Voting is open to anyone on this forum who registered before the announcement of this contest. To cast your vote, please send me (Atropos) a private message on this forum, with the following format: 1st: Artist and remix title 2nd: Artist and remix title 3rd: Artist and remix title Each 1st place vote is worth 3 points, each 2nd place vote is worth 2 points, and each 3rd place vote is worth 1 point. You get to vote only once and you can't vote for the same remix multiple times. Entrants cannot vote for themselves, but they will automatically receive three points if they vote. If you would like to offer feedback to the artists along with your vote, I will be happy to post feedback with the results. I will not post who the feedback is from, however. Winners will be announced in this thread on Sunday, February 28. PRIZES 1st place - 320GB external HD 2nd place - Metal USB-charging remote control helicopter 3rd place - LucasArts Adventure Pack on Steam, or pick a size for an OCRemix T-shirt After the votes have been tallied, winners will be asked to provide a shipping address via e-mail (the same e-mail address they used to submit their entries) in order to claim their prizes. If a winner doesn't want to provide a shipping address, we'll be happy to substitute a digital prize (ie ThinkGeek gift certificates, Steam games, etc.) instead. Mailing addresses get deleted as soon as the winner confirms receiving his/her prize. If a collaboration wins, the people in that group will have to decide on a substitute prize that can be divided between them. In the case of a draw between two people, both people will receive the prize they earned. In the case of a draw between more than two people, we'll have to work something else out.* We will ship prizes internationally, but anyone outside of the USA may end up having to pay customs fees if your customs regulations are particularly evil. Prizes will be shipped within two days of the votes being tallied. * Because we can't be sending out 10 external hard drives. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atropos Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 We're officially accepting submissions for this contest as of today! Someone has to win, so even if all you do is submit a quick 1-minute-long remix, your chances would look pretty good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doulifée Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Just adding that atropos spent a bit of time asking some info via pm to start a worthy competition, so i hope we'll see some entry even with darkesword attractive competition. there are probably some under-remixed adventures games soundtracks who are waiting for you.

Demonstray Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I think I can conjure something up by the end of this...We'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have an arrangement for this, but no talent on either instrument it's for to play it. I might just go for The Dig or someshiz instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 If this were Facebook I'd like this x7. I just wish I could remix well enough to enter this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryTerry Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Well, I've started working on something. I'm not too good, but OCR gets $5 either way, so I may as well give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atropos Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Well, I've started working on something.I'm not too good, but OCR gets $5 either way, so I may as well give it a shot. Hah, we once did a Photoshop contest where only one person submitted an entry that fit the criteria. We still picked second and third place winners out of the people who completely messed up, but the guy who met the requirements got first place by default. Winners don't always have to be good, they just have to be better than the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryTerry Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Gah, the deadline's the 20th? For some reason I remembered it as the 27th (I must have got it confused with the voting deadline - Thank god I came back and checked) I'm determined to get something in though, no matter how bad it ends up. I'm suprised nobody seems to have shown much interest in this. Has anyone actually submitted anything yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atropos Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 I've received only two entries so far - one yesterday and one today. I guess it's a busy time of year, with school for some and taxes for many. After going so long without any activity, I'm relieved to see any entries at all! Thanks to those who have entered so far, and hopefully other people can sneak in submissions before the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonstray Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 You'd better believe I'm cooking something up for this, and if the whole thing turns out the way that it's been coming along so far, then...well then that's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryTerry Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Alright, I finally managed to cobble something together. It's not much, but I've sent it (I accidentally clicked the "add to contacts" button when it asked out of habit. Sorry if it sends some stupid MSN invite or something) I was gonna do a full classical piano arrangement, but I've been kinda busy lately.

Dhsu Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 So yeah, this is late and under the minimum length, but I figured I'd leave this here anyway so it doesn't just sit on my hard drive. http://dhsu.vgpiano.com/covers/angelitos.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atropos Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Voting is now open! Please check the first post for details. Thank you for your entries! Dhsu, I included yours in the list despite it being late (you were only late by an hour or so). I have no idea what it's from, so if you accidentally posted it in the wrong thread, let me know. With only four entries, we are increasing our donation to OCRemix to $10 per entry, and we'll give away two 3rd place prizes so all four of you can win something.

Chickenwarlord Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Given the title of Dhsu's I'd guess that it was from Grim Fandango. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atropos Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Given the title of Dhsu's I'd guess that it was from Grim Fandango. That would certainly match the style of the piece, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Wow, sweet! I'm not worried about prizes, I'm just glad OCR is getting $10 for my entry. Edit: Yup, it's from Grim Fandango - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonstray Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 DAMMIT. I totally mistook the deadline for a different contest. Eh, it's all good. These are some wicked remixes, great job everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I most definitely will! I could have it done by Saturday, or I could rush it and probably get it done by Thursday, maybe even earlier. Any preference, or does the offer stand for as long as it takes?
