What is this site for? Beethoven bust award won by composer Dragan Popadic:
"I would like to say as I told before. This site keeps me composing. Sometimes I say to myself: It's enough, who needs your music? Who needs music at all in this soulless world? But here are people who like to share without earning money. That means share best part of their soul and spirit, because that's what music really is. And even if I am without ideas I am trying to compose, and always something comes to my mind. I am very happy if my music touches someone and make him/her to feel better for a moment. The same thing is when I listen to the music of the others here (of course not all the music here but still) and feel something nice. That's what this site is about. Opportunity to listen good music, to share it and to have friends somewhere who are so far, but every month we have a pleasant meeting here. Thank you all for that!" - Dragan.

Basically, we have three main contests and a non-competition section to share music:
1- A Midi+MP3 monthly composition contest.
2- A theme-competition based on monthly entries.
3- Public ranking tournaments.
4- A Composer's Club to share your compositions (midi, mp3 or scores) and get feedback.
1- For the Midi+MP3 monthly competition you can submit a MIDI and/or a MP3 file. In addition, you can attach to it a SIBelius score.
1.1- One can submit only a midi, only a mp3, or both. The midi file is recommended so the reviewers can have a better insight of the work.
1.2- The official reviewers will listen to, review the submissions and rate them accordingly a set of specific criteria, choose the Top Quality ones, write down comments about and vote for the Theme-Contest winner.
2- The Public Tournaments are not regular competitions but detailed ranking polls created for specific purposes.
2.1 Anyone can listen to and review the submissions ranking them, choosing the Top Quality ones and writting down comments about.
The musical score is not obligatory, but recommended specially for classical works (in SIBelius format).
After submission deadline (end of each month), the results come out after 15-21 days and a championship as also several other ranks are updated.
The non regular Public Tournaments can be created on demand or as challenges.
The schedule, deadlines etc. you can find in the Status page (see left menu which works like a sitemap).
To make things better and to keep the Music Contest free we need qualified reviewers, your participation and donations. Thanks!
