Represent A Country Contest Updates

I thought it would be cool if there was a contest where people would create pieces based on countries. Basically all you'd have to do is use instruments, melodies, or lyrics to represent a country of your choice, it's pretty simple.
For example, if you wanted to represent Japan you could use a Taiko drum and maybe mention something about Manga.

The thread for the contest is: Here.

I'll look forward to your entries!

The Scoring System:
Contestants will be able to score a maximum of 20 points from each Judge. Every Judge will be looking at how well each entry does in the following sectors:

#1 Representation; (How well the song portrays the country allocated)
#2 Originality; (How creative was the artist? How original is this piece?)
#3 Sound Quality: (how professional does the track sound?)
#4 Errors :(Are there any notes out of key? Out of place drums?)
(If you haven't noticed, the mark scheme seems to spell "Rose", The judges have nicknamed it "The Score Rose")

You can gain 5 points from each sector, the judges total them up and you have your score from that judge. The scores for all three judges are then combined to give you your total score. (Which will be out of 60)

Queeeeeeeestion, can we make a remix? The original is Rob Mayth, who's german, buuuuuuuut if you went to sweden you'd be more likely to find it ^^

NeonProject 2009-02-04 06:55:26

Erm... Well you will be scored on originality... so it's not the best of options.
I'll give you a little tip though... just take a short melody or something from the track and add lyrics/ your own section, so you kind of fuse your work and someone elses.

Kinda like "Destination Calabria"

so who are the judges? i can understand them being anonymous but... I just wanted to tell them "if i lose... sleep with one eye open..."

NeonProject 2009-02-10 03:26:36

None of the Judges have a newgrounds account, one is a Piano Player who likes mostly classical music, the other one is a music student who can play a variety of instruments, she likes 60's rock, but has a taste in othe genres too.
The third is a Music Technology student who loves nearly all music genres, especially Dance (he doesn't like electro or house, though).
