In case anyone missed this in the email...

Song Choices
1. In the Bleak Midwinter (1872)
2. Silent Night (1818)
3. 12 Days of Christmas (1780.. maybe earlier!)

How Things Will Work and Challenge Deadlines

Team Entries
The finished song must be published into the Music Library no later than midnight, December 23rd. We’ll be checking that you’ve met all of the challenge criteria and followed the rules before giving you the thumbs up.

Voting and Winning
The entries will be judged by Santa’s elves, who will be an unbiased group of music lovers having no prior knowledge of the competition entries or participants, and using clear criteria to guide the voting process. We will announce the results and the winning team on December 25th.

Judgement Criteria
Challenge entries will be judged on the following three criteria using a scale ranging from 1 - 4, with a total possible overall score of 12.

Creativity – The extent to which your rendition sounds fresh, original and creative.
Theme – The extent to which your rendition suits the Christmas theme and expresses the Christmas spirit.
Hit Factor – The extent to which your rendition has been brought into the 21st Century and the chances of it being the next big, chart topping, Christmas number one!

Prizes
A ProCollabs Grammy Award and bragging rights, of course!

Some Rules
• Your project must be a "Public by Invite" project
• Your project must use the Fair Shares collaboration agreement
• Your completed project must properly credit the original work as being in the Public Domain
• Any member can enter. Moderators and the like sadly cannot.
• Your rendition must be original, 100% recorded and produced by the team members (3rd party samples and loops are allowed but must be credited, as appropriate)
• Your cover art must be original and created 100% by the team members – ensure that credit is given for the cover art when closing the project
• Only one entry per team is allowed

Hey Everyone,

Well only 4 members signed up, so let’s make the most of it. We are very excited to see how this will turn out.

Team #1 – TomdeGroot, GoodVibes

Team #2 – Roo, Vuya1

Song Choices
1. In the Bleak Midwinter (1872)
2. Silent Night (1818)
3. 12 Days of Christmas (1780.. maybe earlier!)

Once you decide who the Project Director will be, choose 1 of the 3 songs we've listed & let the festivities begin! :)

Remember, you are free to ask others to join in, whether it is to mix your song or to play an instrument, back-up vocals, etc. Just make sure it isn’t a member of the opposing team. Don't forget to utilize the Boardroom for your private (live) discussions.

The finished song must be published into the Music Library no later than midnight, December 23rd. We’ll be checking that you’ve met all of the challenge criteria and followed the rules before giving you the thumbs up.

If you have any questions or need help, please feel free to contact RAVEN or MonkeyC.

Good luck gentlemen, we can’t wait to see/hear what you do!
