Read them carefully! Entries must be handed in before the respective deadlines (compare with timetable). Previously released material is not allowed. All votable entries will be spreaded/released after the party. Single compo categories may be cancelled if we don't get enough entries for it. We may apply preselection to any category if we have too many entries for it. To avoid name voting all single artist competitions will be held anonymously. We will show nothing but an entry number and the title of the work - no artist's name! Please, read the specific rules of the compo you want to participate on how to hand in your entry correctly! Disregard of the rules will result in disqualification (even after the party)! Please try to understand(tm) that we MUST set rules. We don't do this to annoy you, but competitions depend on some kind of standards. So, stick to them. All we try to do is to make the compos as fair as possible for everyone. If You have any questions/suggestions, do not hesitate to contact us. Thank You.
