CLOSED - WINNERS ARE: REASON - POINDEXTER BOATENG
SONAR - A.D.D We'll sort out a 3rd prize soon once we've got these prizes sorted out & delivered!



ok... Dancetech competition time!! As you know, anyone can join up as an ARTIST or LABEL user and add tracks to the site for lo-fi modem streaming. It's 100% FREE, and you don't even have to endure banner ad's! Ok... there's been some great tracks added so far, and we've been offered some competition goodies courtesy of Propellerheads & Cakewalk... so we thought why not run a BEST-TRACK contest!



HOW TO ENTER Simply join up as a dancetech ARTIST or LABEL user via the 'LOGIN/SIGNUP' menu choice from the SITE SECTIONS selector at the top of the site. After getting back your password and Logging-in you automaticaly get taken to your admin section - You can also go there anytime by logging in again when you re-visit, or by selecting 'LOGIN/SIGNUP' again at anytime you are on the site - You'll see two selectors on the top of your ADMIN section when you enter the area - The LEFT selector is called: 'MY DETAILS & MY MUSIC ADMIN' This is the selector for all editing of your profile & your added tracks - Complete your USER PROFILE, ('Edit my Profile'), then add your track or tracks via the menu choice: 'MY Online Tracks - Add Track'



Up to 3 tracks can be entered per user. IF you add MORE than 3 tracks, (cos you can add up to ten tracks at the moment per user), you need to nominate which 3 are your choice for competition entry - to do that, go to your TRACK EDIT section by choosing: 'MY Online Tracks - Edit Track' You'll see that each of the three (or more) tracks you have added has next to it a numerical selector - Simply choose which is number_1, 2 & 3 etc... then hit the: 'Create Stack Order' - button at the bottom of the track list - Put the top 3 in position 1, 2 & 3 in your track list if you have more than 3 added tracks.

ok... now go to the: 'Music Tracks' forum, via the FORUMS selector at the top of the site, and see the Discussion: 'TRACKS COMPETITION' thread on that forum. Enter the discussion and add yourself to the list - we want all entrants to add themselves here so we have a definitive list to refer to. Also, all your tracks you add & your user-profile link automaticaly to your forum posts at Dancetech - so it's easy for us to click on each person in the forum 'Competition' list and listen to their track entries!! THAT'S IT!! We'll run the contest for 10-12 weeks to give people time to get their shit together or remix stuff & get it uploaded before choosing the two winners, plus a runner up who'll get something cool which we'll sort out as a surprise runner-up prize.

get cracking, and dont bother to add any comments here on this page 'add comments' section below - we are just using this page to lay the rules all out. we'll run another thread in the MUSIC TRACKS forum called: 'TRACK COMPETITION FAQ', for all problems or questions, so that the actual: 'TRACK COMPETITION' thread remains ONLY a list of nominations.
