Looking For Contest Ideas

[brandondrury]

If you guys have any cool ideas for contests, please share them with me here. I've got a ton of ideas that I want to try, but I'm always looking for contest ideas.

For the first time, a major home recording company has offered to sponsor a contest and give away a hefty prize. This is GREAT news for RecordingReview.com. Now I just need a killer contest that will get new members excited about joining and current members excited about participating.

I still like the mix off Idea. We need to start with a good song and load each track seperate onto this site somewhere, each person who wants to try mixing it has to be a member to get the tracks. Then each person tries to mix it to the best of their abilities and then it would be judged by someone.... Like maybe senior members down to the final 10 or so. Then Brandon or someone who is a pro at it judges the final 10 or so. The winner gets a brownie button! I know this doesn't allow for mic placement and room setup and a bunch of other aspects but it would be fair, I guess. I sure would like to hear some better ideas if anyone has them...

provide a 5 - 10 second vocal and see what people can do with it in a piece under 3 minutes. no rules!
