The lines are now open for Category 12.1: Best Recording, and Category 12.2: Best Composition. PM CAR EXPERT for Best Recording and VIOLIN-ANN for Best Composition. You can PM us, with up to 5 recordings/compositions, ranked.

The PM voting will close at 9:30pm next week (23rd Oct), which is when I will publish the final two polls for these awards. :(

For the recordings/compositions: visit this website: http://81.174.243.192:8080/

Better forewarned!!

Have people consented to their compositions being used in this competition? I am glad I cannot record in Mp3. I would be very unhappy to upload a composition to this site for audition only then find it in a competition two months later. I had wondered.

If any others feel restricted over what they can post here because of these competitions, you are not alone!

:huh:

It is only a bit of fun....it isn't serious.

And nobody has objected to it so far.

Does it really matter :unsure:

I think that for the best recording, Andante_in_C should be nominated :) Her Debussy was amazing!

All recordings submitted to the site fall into the public domain; that was made clear from the moment the ABRSM yahoo group, subsequently the recordings web site, was opened. :)

Once a recording is on the site, I cannot stop people downloading it and using it as they wish; I can remove recordings from the site on request, though.

Philharmonia, the competition isn't where we rank all the compositions according to how good we think they are. Through nominating, we simply establish a shortlist of 5, before voting decides the eventual winner. This is upbuilding for all those in the top 5 while everyone else can be happy in the knowledge that they were actually in 6th place. :rolleyes:
ps. my consent is of course given.

I think if we start allowing self-voting, the result will be not be fair as some people will vote for themselves while others would consider that inappropriate. I would suggest that no self-voting is allowed.

How about this:

You can vote for yourself as long as you vote for someone else as well.

Well some people would have no shame at putting themselves at the top of their own list, thus giving themselves 5 points while someone else might have more modesty and so they wouldn't. If everyone voted for themselves, that would also be completely pointless (as the Eurovision song contest would be if everyone could vote for themselves). I say it will be much simpler and more accurate if no-one is allowed to self-vote.

We can't actually stop anyone voting for themselves once the poll is up. We can, however, say that you aren't allowed to nominate yourself.

If your piece is good enough, someone else will nominate you. :D
