To participate to this competition you must provide a sid C64 music tune, following the below rules:
- The entry may be arrive as email in a zip (the zip will be putted in the site as is) and it must contains the tune in a C64 file format (like prg, d64, tap, p00).
If you can sent even a psid file of the tune. Please, specify the chip SID model you compose the tune and/or if it is PAL or NTSC based (this is just for better listening to it).
- An author can send as many sids he wants and can take place to the voting too.
- A tune for be valid must be an original composition or even a cover/remixes of existent sid tunes (like HVSC tunes) or cover/remixes of normal audio music (like you preferred audio CD songs).
In case of cover/remix, please provide the author/title of the music.
Note that the tune must be new (or, in other terms , it must not be had released in the past)
- As soon as one entry arrive, it will be putted into the site, so people can enjoy the sid
- The first classified will receive 12 wine bottles to drink a toast to sid music (the wine is of my little personal production)
- In case more that one people win (have the same points at first position), only the people how sent the sid before the other will be awarded.
- Unfortunately I *can* sent the prize only to a legal address in EU Europe because the world is so big.
Sorry for this. If you are not an EU people, consider the idea to give the prize to an your EU parent or friend in case you win.
Otherwise you can participate for the classication but not for the prize. In that case the prize go to the next people after you if you will win the competition.
- Due to the privacy Italian law you are not obligate to give me the EU address when you summit the tune. Provide me only a valid replay email address. I will ask you the address only if you win.
- I reserve a my participation to the competition but only for the classification
- Tune must be sent from 21 February 2002 to 6 April 2002
- Voting will start at 8 April 2002 and are open to everyone (only one voting email for people)
- Voting will end at 19 April 2002 and result will be available at 21 April 2002.
- The voting received will be available to the people that require for a verification (in that case I will remove people name and some part of the email-address) for privacy reasons
- My vote will be counted too, but I will vote *before* the open vote time, so I will not be conditioned by the other votes.
- As soon as the votes arrive, I will put these information on the site: number of vote received and vote number of the first and last classified (well, something like: people=5 max=125 min=95)
- Finally my email address is ice00 (at) libero.it. I will replay to all the tune/vote arrived withing few days. If you did not receive an answer, resent because the mail probably went lost.
As a final note: I reserve to change the rules only for give more prize to the winner or for giving prizes even for the next classified (If I find a better way for sending the prize that the actual, or there are a massive participation!!!).
I hope that you find some times to compose a tune even if you are a musician composer or just a programmer like me that love Sid music.
Good luck and sid music forever.
[ps. finally I was able to send 18 bottles to the winner and even 6 bottles to the second.]
