How To Enter
You enter the same way that you add a song to Recording Reviews. Instructions for uploading and
Guidelines for song uploading can be found here: No Myspace! No Youtube! It sounds too crappy!
The only difference between this and Recording Reviews is you must put your Christmas Songs in the
2008 Christmas Song Contest category and not the Recording Reviews category.
How To Vote
See the screenshot below. In the upper right hand corner of each thread, there is some text that says "Rate Thread". Click it to give your vote!
What Are We Voting For?
When you are listening to a song/recording in the 2008 Christmas Song contest, you are voting for how pleasing the song was to the ear while at the same time putting you in a Christmas frame of mind. In other words, if you loved it, it should get the highest rating. If you hated it, it should give the lowest rating. That's it!
How does recording quality fit?
It fits EXACTLY like it does in real life! If the recording quality sucks, but you LOVED listening to the song, it should get the highest rating. If the recording quality sucks and this is a distraction that makes the song not fun to listen to, give it crappy score.
How To Win
The Song / Thread with the highest rating and
more than 5 votes will be the winner.
It's strongly recommended
that you tell all your buddies about your song and get them to vote for you. Winner take all!!
Contest Ends
The contest will end selected on 11:59pm Central Time on Christmas Day.. At that point, I will freeze all voting. I'll need to de-spam the voting and I'll announce the winner as soon as possible.
