Also, for the purpose of this contest:
1) Any synthesizer or sampling type device that replicates a percussive instrument will be allowed
2) Piano's will NOT be allowed.
3) Bowed instruments like violins and the like will NOT be allowed.
4) Plucked instruments (guitars and the like)NOT allowed

2 - A STRICT MAXIMUM of three minutes in length. If it shows up as 3:01 in my player, It's gettin the boot!

4 - Submitted before I get out of bed Friday, June 25th, 2010. Once I get outta bed, the thread gets locked
5 - Your entry must be composed specifically for this contest
6 - Your entry must be created using at least some audio plugins, virtual synths, or software studio
7 - your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (ie "1006_artistname_tracktitle.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please, do not use spaces and special charaters in the filename. I will be booting for improperly tagged comps (this will not be a DQ, just a little reminder that you din't tag your comp correctly). Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the tag.
8 - IF you are going to tag your mp3, the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune(help us out, okay? it's easier to sift through labelled entries)
9 - One person can participate either with one entry, with one entry and one collaborative effort or with two collaborative efforts.' - no resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. PM me for permission!
10 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.
11 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until I get out of bed, Thursday, July 1st - anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified - any entrants not voting will also be
disqualified
