OKAY
Here we go.....
Rules:
1) The song must be completely home-made. If the song has even 10 seconds of some other established game music, you will be disqualified.
2) The song must not be more than 3 minutes long (thats still really long).
3) The song must fit the format of NSM theme song. (It can be in minor, but remember that we are not a funeral music website.) It can be video game-ish, classical, and maybe even pop.
4) The songs, when finished, should be pm-ed to me so I can post them anonymously as Song 1, Song 2, etc. The title should be NSM Theme Song.
5) If your song sounds like someone else's, the person who sent the song first will have their's posted.
6) You can work in groups, I dont really care.
7) You have to post them to me by April 5, 2008, 5PM Central Time (Daylight Savings Time).
8) All of them will be posted at the same time so don't rush through.
9) It can be piano and orchestra OR just piano. But you must have a piano, whether it be a solo or piano with orchestra/ It is advised you make a piano solo version of your song just in case someone might want to play it.
10) Please send me a Mp3 and a piano MUS (piano just in case someone wants to play it).
11) When posted, the people will vote on the songs and post their opinions by April 12, 2008, 7 PM Central Daylights Saving Time.
Even though this is my rough draft, i advise (if you are going to do participate in this contest) to start composing your songs.
i kinda need help on some of the rules so plz help!
I have a couple questions:
1. Does it have to be playable?
2. Do we submit a mus, mp3, or both?

First of all, you should run this by G-Han. ^_^;; With all honesty... I don't believe any staff members ever made this official. :P
For the rules, I recommend you make clear that Orchestra-Only (meaning, without piano) songs are NOT allowed. Also, I think a piano-only piece of sheet music should be included (but not shown until the winner is announced.) That way, if someone really likes the song, it should have the piano-only sheet as well. :3
