[b][u]CMC: Conceptual Music Competition[/u][/b] This competition is based on the rules of the classic [url=http://www.warnerpacific.edu/personal/kkeyn/TOMC.htm]TOMC[/url] (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 15, was "Falling Timbers" and the winner, Fiona, submitted a piece that knocked the socks off of everyone, so she won. Fiona then gets to decide the theme for CMC 16. This competition is open to registered members of the forums of [url=http://www.ocremix.org]OverClocked ReMix[/url], [url=http://www.vgmix.com]VGMix[/url], [url=http://oc.ormgas.com]Ormgas[/url], [url=http://www.vgmusic.com]VGMusic[/url], [url=http://www.sheezyart.com]SheezyArt[/url], [url=http://www.gamingw.net]Gaming World[/url], and [url=http://www.youngcomposers.com]Young Composers[/url].
