Video Promo Comp
As you may or may not know, we will be relaunching the site with a new facelift towards the end of this month
Part of this new look will involve a video player that will appear on the new artists pages. The default video feed will be from our own youtube channel and will feature a promotional video for the site. This video will appear on every artists page across the site (unless they switch the feed to their own youtube music videos).
As you know, every video needs a soundtrack and that is what this competition is all about!
The idea:
Users get to nominate either 2 of their own complete tracks OR a 60 second mash-up of highlights to a pool which can be cut, spliced, diced, mashed and mixed together to create a multi-genre backing track for a site promotional video.
How it Works:- Anyone can enter tracks to the pool
- Any site member can splice a backing track together using a selection of tracks from the pool
- Users can only enter their own original musical works
- Entries are restricted to either 2 entire tracks or one 60 second mashup of various track highlights (fade in/out between track cuts is fine)
- Entries should be loosely genre specific
- Lets keep the track length to 30 seconds
- Tracks can only be submitted by their creators - if you really want to use an another artists track then please contact them and ask them to post it!
- The spliced backing track should represent each of the big genres
- The winning track will be chosen by Admin and the video creator.
The Small Print
- By entering a track to this competition, artists agree to allow other site users to use their music as part of a promotional backing track for the site.
- Tracks entered cannot be used elsewhere or for any other purpose without the express permission of the track creator (copyright holder).
- Artists agree to allow the site to use their music in the promotional video
- The promotional video and backing music will be used to promote the site across multiple platforms such as Facebook & Twitter etc. Artists who submit their tracks accept that the final mix will be hosted on youtube and can be easily embedded into 3rd party sites and blogs.
- All tracks that make it into the chosen backing track will be fully referenced and credited on the video (nice bit of extra promotion for all involved)
Unfortunately the budget is completely shot with the site development so all we can offer is that the tracks that feature in the winning mashup will be properly credited and will be put on front of a lot of eyeballs and ear holes.
Anyway, it should be a lot of fun too - let's hope we can get as many of you on board as possible.
