We racked our brains about this one. We want to keep it as open as possible to everyone but we still need a coherent framework to work within. So, the theme is simply… “2012”. Without wanting to put ideas in your heads, a lot has happened this year that could be used for inspirational cues or influences. For example, the Mayan Calendar prophesied the end of the world in 2012… Higgs Boson’s ‘God Particle’ was discovered, Curiosity landed on Mars, the Olympics is ongoing, there were wars, loves found and lost… etc. “2012” as a theme should give you plenty of scope for creativity, use your artistic license if you have to!
Note: Please don’t call your track 2012 – pick a track title that suits the theme.
To Enter:
Simply post a link here to your track hosted on mp3unsigned.com and admin will grab a download once the deadline has been reached. If you do not wish to allow your track to be publicly downloaded admin can grab a copy through the backend. By posting a link to your track on this post you are granting permission to MP3unsigned.com admin to download your track for judgment purposes (re-uploads or edits to comp entries on artists’ pages after the deadline has passed will not be considered for judgment)
Closing Date
12:00 Midnight British time, September 30th, 2012.
*Admin Team comprises a panel of 4 permanent staff members – not including voluntary site moderators.
Please keep general discussion about this competition in the relevant discussion on the forums. This post is for track entries only!

Many Thanks
Against the grain is probably my best track yet, why against the grain as named? Because those of us with a stricter moral code are finding 2012 to be a struggle lots going on some of it frightening, there’s definately something missing, btw the vocal sample is a music radar royalty free sample enjoy
