This competition is based on the rules of the classic TOMC (Thematic Original Music Competition).
The CMC (Conceptual Music Competition) is designed so that each participant enters a piece of music based on a set theme. The participants take the theme and interpret it as they will to come up with something that fits. Any style can work, as long as it portrays a sense of what the theme is. During the run of TOMC, the idea was to make it fit an RPG feel. In CMC, you shouldn't necessarily limit yourself to that. Feel free to be imaginative!
Each successive theme will be chosen by the winner of the previous competition. For example, say the theme of the last competition, CMC 17, was "Avalanche" and the winner, Serena, submitted a piece that knocked the socks off of everyone, so she won. Beth then gets to decide the theme for CMC 18.
STILL HUNT - A terrifying new film from acclaimed director Alan Smithee and New Line Cinema
In STILL HUNT, two killers have escaped from prison in south Texas and are out to stalk their latest victims in the woods of the hill country. They have escaped on the eve of deer season and are not on the hunt for the largest deer, but whomever crosses their path first! Just as the Marshall family settles in at their quiet farm for a relaxing November weekend, they run into two strangers and quickly ask them to leave their land... but are these trespassers simply poachers or are they hunting for something else? The Marshall family will soon learn that they are not the family doing the hunting this deer season... but that they are, in fact, the game being hunted." -Rich Douglas
