Ho, ho, ho, it’s that time of the year again!  And what better way to bring in the holiday cheer than with a new challenge. 

As with all the challenges, we like to keep it simple and fun – not too many rules or stipulations. 

The criteria for the 2018 Holiday Challenge are:

1. The song must be holiday themed, i.e. Christmas, festive, winter, merry, spiritual, etc.
2. The cover art must have the colors red & green in it.
3. The song must be at least 2:00 minutes long, so no snippets please.
4. The song must be completed into the Music Store by December 22^nd, 11:30pm.

That’s all, easy breezy!  The song can be a ‘standard’ song, spoken word or instrumental, whatever you like.

We’ve incorporated a new feature for everyone who creates a project for one of our challenges, so please make sure you follow these easy steps.  

How to enter: 

Once you create your challenge project, go to the ‘Project Settings’ on your project page.  Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.  You’ll see ‘ProCollabs Challenge’ – just click the down arrow and choose which challenge you’re entering, and 'Save'.  That’s it; you’re all done & now entered in the challenge!

This is a challenge not a competition.  Everyone who participates will receive a prize.

1. Projects with 3 or more collaborators will receive a $10.00 credit and a 2018 Holiday Challenge badge.
2. Projects with 2 collaborators will receive a $5.00 credit and a 2018 Holiday Challenge badge.

3. A solo effort will receive a 2018 Holiday Challenge badge.

The whole idea behind these challenges is to have fun, of course.  But, it’s also a way to encourage ‘collaborating’.   So reach out to other members, send invites, and ‘pimp your project’ to get others involved. 

Remember, the deadline is December 22^nd, 11:30pm.

Are those jingle bells I hear over yonder?

Are remixes allowed or does it have to be originals??

Hey Daniel

Doing a remix is fine. Though, just be aware that when you put it in the store, you can't put a price on it without having the necessary license. Other than that, covers/remixes etc. just for fun should be fine.  Though just be aware that there are potentially copyright issues which you should make yourself aware of. 

Have a blast!

Ok this is cheating a bit (actually, a lot)............ this track was from a previous Christmas Challenge and has been reworked as a reggae version, we’re looking to create a “choir” sound towards the end.

Be great to get as many people as possible to create a ProCollabs Xmas Choir...............

Happy Place does not load from the link above. Is it gone?

You’re right the link doesn’t work......I had a look at the active projects and in the music store and can’t see it which would suggest it’s been removed!

The deadline is tonight @ 11:30pm - so make sure to close & complete your projects into the Music Store by then. :)
