EARLY-BIRD BONUSES
We have two rewards for the first 30 songwriters who submit Concept Proposal Forms, since they are helping us build momentum for the collaborative process in our Facebook group.
-
$15 cash. This will be sent by PayPal or similar service if we consider your concept to be a credible proposal.
-
Advice about which of 2 or 3 concepts has the best chance. Put both or all three of your song concepts into one Concept Proposal Form, numbered so we can follow your thought easily. We do not promise to provide this kind of feedback for later entrants since there may not be time for it, but for Early Birds we will.
Note: If you already got approval for a proposal under the previous version of this contest, you count as one of the 30 Early Birds.
SUBMIT BY POSTING IN FACEBOOK GROUP
Complete this form and post it as a file attachment in the Facebook group, “SYNC 2020 Contests.” This is a private group, visible to other contest entrants but not to the public.
How to get access to post your proposal:
-
In Facebook, go to your home page and click GROUPS under EXPLORE in the menu.
-
Type “SYNC 2020 Contests” into the SEARCH box.
-
Click the button “ + JOIN GROUP” at the left side under the group’s banner. Answer the short entry questions so we can approve you, and Kerry will add you to the group.
-
NOTE: If you object in principle to participating in a Facebook group, write SYNCx2020@gmail.com to discuss options.
After joining, you will be able to post your form and see our comments on it. You will also see other people’s forms, and they can see yours. This contest is not a secret process but a collaborative learning process.
CONCEPT APPROVAL PROCESS
Your Concept Proposal Form is the basis for us to discuss your concept with you, usually starting within a day or two of submission. Each song-writer is limited to one Concept Proposal Form at any one time.
When your concept proposal is approved, your name gets added to our “approved” list, which is also our “Prayer List.” The world is full of unfinished songs, but a song that is 90% finished misses 100% of the people it could help. We want your song to get finished, videoed, and put up on YouTube.
LATER PART OF THE JUDGING PROCESS
If your Concept Proposal Form is approved, you have until July 31st to complete and submit your Song Entry Form.
When you submit your Song Entry Form, I (Stan Nussbaum) as gate-keeper will do a final check to verify that the song is in line with your proposal that was approved. Then your Song Entry Form will be passed on to our panel of three judges.
The judges are NOT members of the Facebook group and will not see the discussion of your Concept Proposal, so no question you ask at this stage can reduce your chances of winning.
