Hi.. I want to have a go at a contest..
Cos its my first its gonna be very small and manageable ;)
The rules are you pick any song on your account.. I don't care if it is gold/ normal/ old/ new/ sung in a different pitch..
I will accept 10 entries only, cos I can't listen to more and I want this to work! All who audition (yeah all 10) get in.
Everyone must send in their favourite 3 entries once all the 10 are in.. I will put my top 3 in too... this means it will be completely fair as everyone is a judge..
Everyone is expected to listen.. but cos there will only be 10.. it won't take long..
Any ties.. will be written up as top 3 but with ties! ie. Joint
I'll only tell u guys the top 3.. so u won't know if u came last or 4th,...
This will be quick, simply, fair and fun..
This will run over this wkend.. but I will try to sort the results as quickly as possible. If I get my 10 contestants sooner.. than we can move faster but this must be over by monday!
Welcome to SingSnap, Sarah! Good luck with your 1st contest!! Hoping I understand your instructions correctly here: Pre-records are OK. We only submit one song right now - when you have ten contestants, we will all be submitting two more? Another question.. just how is the judging going to be done?

trknduffer...looks to me like you only have to enter one song and then once 10 people have entered a song, you PM Rosie who you think are the top 3 best songs/singers.
SwedyBird, you only need to enter 1 song....then once 10 people enter a song, you will listen to all of them and send Rosie a PM with your top 3 favorites!

OPPS ok...sorry I miss understood...I hope that does not effect my chances?

Don't feel lonely, sister.. I had to ask just to make sure I understood the details. Now the question is.. which one of these songs are you wanting to enter here?
Swedybird please pick your favourite song of the 3! (although if u want we can listen to all for fun.. but choose the one you want us to judge for our top 3!!)
If you want I could get an independent adjudicator to check the counts.. or u could trust me.. I am honest though! and I have no vested interest.. I'm not in the contest!

Do you know which song it is you'd like us to listen/judge you on?

Patience, honey, patience! It takes time to listen to everyone and those with dial-up have to wait for them to download - which takes forever and a day if they have video!

For your very first attempt, you're doing great.
That link under the General Discussion category regarding hosting a contest has some invaluable information in it and SS contests are rapidly improving as more people reference it.
