• Only one entry per composer and competition allowed.
• The composer has to be present at the party! (we repeat this here because this rule is the most often broken in music compos)
• We will have a jury preselection before the compos. All tracks which have been selected out of the show can of course be downloaded and voted on.
• Maximum playing time is 4 minutes. Tunes exceeding this limit will be disqualified without further notice!

If you have questions or suggestions about these rules, contact the organizers.

• The entry has to be delivered as single .MP3 or .OGG file at a bitrate of 160kbps or higher, or as Audio CD with one track.
• Please fill in the ID3 tag or OGG file info as thorough as you can.
• While you're at it, Maxx/Kolabore has written a nice article on getting the best possible result out of your mp3/ogg encoder.
