Description

Welcome to the Mini Music Challenge, wherein participants will compose a piece a music that conforms to the requirements and theme (once revealed). After the submissions deadline, we will all listen to the submissions and vote for a winner!

The last one went over so well I thought I thought I'd do another quick one.


  • This event will consist of a single phase.
  • Participants will be able to sign up and submit their works anonymously using this event page.
  • Votes will be counted and published at end of the event. The person to receive the most votes wins.
  • The composers will have approximately 2 weeks to compose their piece. This will be followed by a short voting period.
  • MP3 is the preferred format, but MIDI and OGG are also acceptable.
  • The composition must be a new and original piece composed specifically for this event.



Short but Effective
There was an ulterior motive for naming this the Mini Music Challenge. For your submission, you are required to keep your piece to 2 minutes or less in length! Can you convey your desired musical aesthetic under this artificial time constraint? You're free to use any kind of instrumentation and sources of sounds you wish.


Riding the Airship!

Let's go to far-off places, and search for treasures bright! Our heroes have obtained an airship and are cruising around the world in an exhilarating flying machine, flowing through the skies with the greatest of ease! But is your RPG a high fantasy? Perhaps it is a steampunk airship? Or maybe it is a futuristic flying device?

Good luck to all the participants!

how can i upload music on this contest , sorry iam new here and its my first time
If you've signed up, you should see a Submit button in the upper right.
i uploaded it successfully thanks and btw it was about 2 m and half long is that okay ?!
We'll see what the voters have to say!
I just submitted my file, and though it sounds catch, 2 thing may fault me here:
1.It will depend on the tempo of the music on how it's a airship theme, which it is, but after this I'll let anyone who wants to use it, use it. But you may need to tweak the tempo a bit to fit the airship in your game.
2.It's only 30 seconds long.
Shoooooot, I'm in!
I'm not too good, but this will help me improve at original mixes!
so this is my first music contest, and i was just wondering if the composer will be given a chance to draw the setting of the "game" for which the music is intended or will all the songs just be lined up and listened to? i'm wondering because i've been working on a few bits of music(sadly, somewhat lackadaisically). within context, some of them lend themselves to air ship themes(in my opinion); without context...meh. i'd like to post something the community may enjoy listening to as well as something that would be considered relevant to the contest.
They will just be all lined up and listened to. You'll have to convey the context via music!
Uuughhh, not sure I'm going to be able to get this done with finals.

I was resubmitting my entry while wondering why it wouldn't work, and then it hit me to take a closer look at the submission page XD

*bad StarWeaver for skimming through text*

Good luck to the rest of you!

Sorry guys, I won't have time for this, I've spent the last 4 days writing a metal piece for my upcoming album and now I have an essay to write. u_u

Ooooh it worked! Thank you very much, kentona!!! \(^_^)/
Is there any possibility of petitioning for a deadline extension?? My last final is tomorrow, so I've been doing nothing but stress/study for my exam. I'm just askin for an extra week, maybe just a couple days?
What is any one else's thoughts? I can extend the deadline to Monday...
Happy
