Event Deadlines
January 23, 2025
Students will need their Participant ID number, and password, from their advisor. Only the team captain will be able to upload the file.
Students will upload their musical file to any platform, and then submit a URL link to their musical piece.
NOTE: A lot of what gets submitted is random computer generated sound, not music, and does not meet the theme.
Before creating/submitting your musical piece, ask yourself these questions:
Is this just an electronic sound that doesn’t go anywhere?
Does this piece fit the theme (see above)?
Are the judges going to listen all the way through, or turn it off after 15 seconds and submit their scores?
