Quote: Yes, withdraw or dramatically reduce the cash prizes. (And start arranging SIDwine-compos again, where the winner get bottles of wine!)
I like the idea with wine replacing cash prizes. |

I agree that the prizes certainly were unjustified and probably detrimental to the compo as such and I do regret putting in them in there to begin with for those reasons. That being said, I don't want to change them (because I feel that is fundamentally bad) and I don't have a problem with paying them out.
Let us say they come from the "visiting demoparties expenses fund", which for obvious reasons has been untapped recently. :(
I'm actually more worried that I will have to pick winners from what seems to be some really great entries so far (not listening until deadline :).
So thank you all contributors for the (presumably lovely) entries! |

It wouldn’t be that bad at all Stinsen, I don’t think anyone wants you to cough up out of any kind of obligation! And +1 for the wine/beers prize idea in future... :) |

Amen to that, symbolic prizes or just fame and glory for the win! This turned into quite the spectacle... :D |

So whosoever ("Gee, I hope I win!" (Maniac Mansion) - hehe, I really don't, I'm not a musician) wins, can do whatsoever they want with the money.
But IF(!<- normally musicians! really need money, probably because they are almost as lazy bastards as gfxians) anyone wins and feels bad, donate the money or a part of it either to charity or scene related purpose such as financing X-Party/BCC Party/YouNameIt... of course I'm talking of REAL parties; even the rent for a 3 day party place eats half a grand minimum, in Berlin easily more and renting a whole city such as Holland... /o\ gotta go :D |

Speaking of ruleset - is every contestant limited to one tune? |

I think I have to amend my own rule that I have hard learned when I was making some graphics tutorials for local website/magazine in past and lost motivation quickly after I signed the royalties contract.
1. The best motivation ever is fun of doing things. If you throw in the money, the fun usually ends.
Update: With exception, if the fun is at expense of the person who threw in the money (accidentally).
Feel free to rephrase it, I'm not in the mood to play with words.
Anyway, I just accidentally stumbled upon this compo when I checked Jammer's entry that I thought, would be, the entry to another compo that was discussed elsewhere (that involved certain perfectly human activity). To my surprise, there wasn't any special effects in the tune, so I had to dig deeper and here I am, talking about doing things instead of doing them, as usual ;-)) |

I don't think the 'other' compo would ever get launched, tbh :D |

Well, that was my intention, but I can't really say this compo was very well defined or thought through in any regard. :D
Btw, that 'other' compo sounded interesting enough I must say haha. |
