DJ SONICFREAK RAP BEAT CONTEST - SPRING 2016
CONTEST SAMPLE PACK RELEASE & SUBMISSION INFO
First off, lemme say, thank you for joining this contest! Secondly, I apologize for the late release. Due to personal reasons and me getting sick, I've missed 2 days. However, I've extended due dates for your beats and included 5 extra Sonic samples, explained later. Thirdly, this is the official roster for the contest. Any submissions outside this list WILL NOT be accepted.
PARTICIPANTS LIST
Users with the Master Emerald Icon had successfully submitted their entry.
1) PlayBoy on the beat https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUhp8R2W-tlSuRtfmNyIZNw FAILED TO SUBMIT
As an encouragement, please subscribe to everyone's pages to support and keep tabs of everyone's submissions. The YouTube page to each contestant is posted right below their name.
THE SAMPLE PACK
Below is the download link to the SonicFreak Contest Sample Pack. This contains 15 Sonic samples that I haven't touched yet. You can take your pick of ONE sonic sample, so choose wisely.
http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/pQWvCDdH/file.html
You can you use any method of beat making you want with whatever program or tool. As long the instrumental was produced/remixed by you. It can be either a Hip-Hop or a Trap remix of the Sonic sample. Dubstep, Techno or anything the goes beyond the Hip-Hop or Trap genre, won't qualify. (I actually had someone submit a dubstep remix in my previous Sonic rap beat contest)
YOUR VIDEO
When you're done with your beat, you need to create a video and upload it on YouTube. Your video has a couple of requirements.
First, your video must have a Sonic related picture to whatever game you're sampling. Secondly, after you found your Sonic picture, somewhere on it, it must have: [/color]
Quote :
Join SonicFreak Forums Tinyurl.com/SonicFreak
It must be throughout the video. This is to help bring awareness about SonicFreak Forums to any Sonic fans that may stumbleacross your video.
In exchange, your beat will be added into the playlist which will be featured on my YouTube page and website.
If you can't download Photoshop, you can use an online image editor to add your text like pixlr. https://pixlr.com/editor/
Also, you will be submitting a high quality mp3 to add to the Sonic Rap Beat Collection for download. Your YouTube will be credited and this will gain you more exposure to your music. Tracklisting will be ranked based off judge votes (explained later).
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK
Please pay attention to this because it's important. Those who fail to submit in this format, won't have their piece accepted.
Producer Name: YouTube Page: YouTube Video Submission: Download link to Mp3:
For the download link to mp3, you can use websites like mediafire, zippyshare or dropbox.
JUDGING
There will be a seperate 3rd update explaining how judging will work. The judging information video and thread will be released 48 hours before the due date of submissions. But to give a hint, there will be 3 tiers of voting.
1st Place - Beat based off skill and creativity (Otaku D. Furiku will be voting with me)
2nd Place - My personal favorite (Can be highly creative and catchy, but lack music skill)
3rd Place - Public open votes. The public can choose their winner.
Accounting all of the tier votes, the tracklisting of the mixtape collection will be in order based off most to least votes. But either way, everyone will have an equal opportunity to gain some type of exposure and opportunity.
DEADLINE ALL SUBMISSIONS NEED TO BE SENT TO ME VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE IN THE REQUIRED FORMATE NO LATER THAN TUESDAY, APRIL 5TH!
★ GOOD LUCK! ★

Just as a heads up, I will be updating the list in a moment. I've received over 10 submissions and I will be reviewing and messaging individually once I've added the submission into the playlist.
Also for those wondering where's the playlist at, there's the link to it ^. It should be much larger by the end of today. The order is based off who submitted their work first, however I'll be sure to have a seperate playlist of the top 3 winners to promote after the Judging period has happened (which will be announced much later.)

Everyone's submissions I've received last week is officially updated.
Right now only 20 out of 31 submissions have been received. Only 48 hours remaining to those who haven't submit yet.
I will be dropping a reminder video and detailed information about the voting process tomorrow on my YouTube page (I will also update here as well).
So far I'm impressed by a number of submissions I've received. I know I'm going to have a hard time picking for tier 2 winner, because I have a good number of favorites from some of you contestants. But so far, good job everyone and thanks for participating!
Once again, you can check out the playlist of current submissions below. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ3fz5kobgE1MHMYhReG7q9cN4CDTLwYV

Alright, all submissions have been finalized and I'm about to prepare the public voting poll in a few hours.
