SUMMER COMPETITION 2016 ENTRIES

This thread is only for entrants for the summer competition to post their entries.  If you have comments/questions/concerns, please post them on the competition announcement thread: 

Directions (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):

1. DO NOT UPLOAD YOUR ENTRY DIRECTLY TO THIS THREAD!

2. Upload your music as if you would in one of the appropriate composition category threads (orchestral/large ensembles, chamber, choral, etc.)

3. Copy the link and paste it on this thread.

PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT ENTRIES!

I also have reposted the scoring guideline below for reference:

• Piece's relation to chosen Shakespeare work - pretty self explanatory:  /15 points
• Structure and coherence - also pretty self explanatory:  /15 points
• Instrumentation/Orchestration - how well did you write for your instrument(s), etc.:  /10 points
• Quality of the Score: /8 points
• Audio Quality: /2 points

(Points above [in total out of 50 pts] are given at the judges' discretion: for instance, with "Structure and coherence", an entrant can be given anywhere between 0-15pts.)

• 5 BONUS points will be given (at the discretion of the judges) if entrant provides a PDF program of their work.

The deadline to submit is August 15th, 11:59 PM EST. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Good Luck to Everyone!

Just wondering what will happen when the next entry is uploaded in this same thread...

HINT: Quite possibly all entries will automatically play at once, resulting in an unglorious, unintended chaos.

The autoplay feature is a horrible mistake.

Here's mine:

I didn't even think of that....my bad! 

Perhaps it will be best if the entries are not posted directly here and are just linked, like how Christian did it.

Here's mine. I'm very much looking forward to seeing all of the others' entries too !

Here is my entry and my link to Chamber music category. Good luck y'all.

Hi, guys! Here is my entry for the competition -- an overture to the tragedy King Lear. Great job everyone, and good luck!

Here's the link to my entry to the competition:

Can you please put all links to the competitor's entries in a single post? Thanks!

Here is my entry. Congrats to everyone who's submitted. I have some stiff competition

And here is mine.

Here's mine!

At 11:58 p.m. in my time zone...

Way later than 11:59 in my time zone... surprisingly I was done with the actual music only an hour after the deadline. It was the darned program notes that took me so long. Anyway I don't know if you guys wanna disqualify my entry or what but I don't really mind because I'm just looking forward to having someone hear what I cooked up.

I will likely do the some reviews this week and some next.

When is the deadline for reviewing the submissions?

Well, I don't believe there is such a thing as a "judges' deadline", but I'd take Danish on his word and hope the results are in towards the end of August.

The deadline for submissions has passed, thus ending that portion of the competition! Congrats to all who submitted! Below are the qualified submissions for this Summer 2016 contest:
