Hey everyone , Jam and myself have been thinking/working behind the scenes on changing the current Mp3 comp format , basically atm we have the Mp3 comp and the winners choose the theme for the following month , however we are changing it for a number of reasons which hopefully should improve the whole comp in general :)
I will explain the changes below and how they will work in under the new system .
First of , under the current Mp3 comp system the ppl who win that month are usually excluded from next months comp , under the new system we are doing away with that so the winner has the right to defend there Mp3 title in the following months comp n so forth :)
Secondly , in the current Mp3 comp system the winners also have to come up with next months theme , we are doing away with that so the winners don't have to , it will be sorted out by Jam and myself every month :banana:
Then onto the themes themselves , they are gonna change slightly aswell , we're going to have a certain amount of fixed themes , like xmas, halloween , valentines, etc , also a idea both Jam and i discussed which we liked was maybe having two themes a year as a artist theme , so we could have a thread up asking ppl what artists they would like to cover in one of the comp themes , so lets say we could have Clapton , Jeff Beck, Hendrix , SRV , one month , that means for that month on the artist theme the entrys can be any song from those four artists , obviously we want fresh recordings for the entrys , no back catalogue covers :)
We will put up a thread after the weekend with abit more indepth detail about the themes :dj:
On the subject of the themes both Jam and myself want to have a thread up about non fixed themes with you guys sharing your ideas about possible themes for the coming months to, after all for those of you who turn out faithfully every month for the comps we both thought its only fair you should get to see and be part of some of the themes you would like to see in the comp aswell :bowdown:
Finally the biggest change will be all the Mp3 badges withdrawn from everyone who has won past and present , the only person who will have the badge will be the winner of the Mp3 comp each month :omg:
The idea behind this is that it will hopefully generate more interest for the comps in general , as atm we feel everyone is practically walking round with a Mp3 winner badge , therefore theres no incentive for ppl to turn out and take part in the comps , as with the new system getting the badge will be more worthwhile and keeping hold of it for the following month will be even harder , thanks to the variety in the themes :)
Just a very quick note to , both Jam and myself will monitor the poll system as we do atm , we will keep a very close eye on the votes and make sure we have no friendly voting going on but obviously we want things fair as possible for ppl who take part , if we feel someone is gaining a unfair advantage with the above, we will remove there votes .
