The definition of the contest
There is a monthly theme for which you have to compose your song.
The maximum length of the song is 30 sec.
This may seem short, but…
The goal of the contest is to come to the point…
Think like the themes they do for television series. It is amazing how much those composers can do in such a short laps of time.

You specify your points, from 1-5 for the following items
Composition
Performance
Production (mixing)
Conformance to the theme
Personal appreciation

@Kara: It might be a good idea to add some more details about the compo to the first post. Might attract more, as in general people are lazy and don’t check out the linked site.
To answer the demand of the forum contest participants we decided to start directly with a monthly period for the contest.
The running contest will end on september 23th with the last week of september as voting week.
Winners will be announced on september 30th.
And the second edition of the contest starts on October 1st
the idea of 30 seconds limitation fascinates me, since I usually make 7+ minutes long songs, but coupled with theme restriction it is almost impossible for me to deal… too bad… but I will try to make such short song one day…
