---> a particular song (and its associated qualifier) that you thought was particularly creative, heartfelt, wacky, revealing or just plain right on! The idea is that these song/qualifier pairs addressed the spirit of the qualifier in some manner. These are the best songs in terms of their qualifiers. This should be considered different from Best Individual Song votes.
- please supply song name/artist and Mix from where it came.

MIX CONTEST 4: AUDIO BUFFET

Ok. We’re mixing it up a bit this time (ha!) – trying out a new mix contest concept. Here’s how it goes. Below is a list of 30 qualifiers for mix tracks. Some qualifiers are emotional in nature, some are technical in nature, and some are kinda both.

Choosing from this list of 30 pick a selection of songs that satisfy a selection of qualifiers, and make a mix from those songs. Put them in any order and pick whichever you want, as many as you’d like to fit on your mix. [Don’t let the term “qualifier” freak you out, think of it more like a buffet, an Audio Buffet, where you can choose from various offerings.] Note: You don’t need to make a mix using all 30, which would, well, be almost impossible, but we’re expecting you to use at least 10 qualifiers.

Mix Title: A Mix title is required. No "Untitled"'s will be allowed.

No Names: Don't include your first or last name in the Mix title, on the disc or on the packaging.

Packaging: Each mix must have its own packaging with its own tracklist. You can package your mix however you want (case, sleeve, origami) but they should be packaged, with no loose discs.

Format: CD Must be in Audio format, no CDs in data format or mp3 format.

Length: You can use either 80m/700MB or 74m/650MB CDs. No cassette tape mixes.

Track information: Needs to be included with the discs.

• Song Title - required
• Artist - required

EMAILING TRACK & QUALIFIER Information:

Because this mix contest involves (significantly) the qualifiers which mixers used, but also because listing what qualifiers correspond to each song on the packaging would require a lot of visual space, I'm extending some rules and requirements to include some "essential" information on the web site.

Ok. Sure. Huh?

What that means is that in addition to submitting the discs to me, you'll need to supply me (i.e. email) with a readable text copy of your track listing and what qualifiers were used for each song. I'll then organize and post this information by mix, on the web site. In the listening stage, Mixers can use these pages as a reference for which qualifiers were used by which song/mix. [From the web site you can print out the full qualifier/track information or not. Your choice.]

You MAY include the qualifiers that match your tracks in your packaging, but it's not neccessary - the track information is all that is required on the disc packaging. Even if you include the qualifier information on your packaging, you still need to send me a digital/text version. (So that I don't have to retype the whole thing.)

Other Stuff: Optional information can be included and is encouraged if it applies to your mix theme. Information such as album title, year of release, and notes.

We have 20 participants, so you will need to make 20 copies of your CD, keep one and get 19 to me to me by the due date: August 8, 2005

Discs Due: Monday, August 8, 2005. Disc should be delivered to me on or before the 8th.

Listen by/Vote by Date: TBD
