Hi. I would like to announce a competition, in the spirit of passing on our love and enthusiasm for the ukulele.
I, like many others of you out there, am a parent and I love to play my uke for and with my kids, I often play spontaneous songs that I make up about them, or their toys or what we did that day…sometimes they are even quite good, it doesn’t matter though cos we really enjoy what we do…good, bad or silly.
Anyway that got me thinking, wouldn’t it be great to have fun new songs to play for the kids? and wouldn’t it be great if we could share them?
SO… I have this idea about making a site where we can post the vids, the words and chords and share these tunes free for everyone. I will host the site and pay all costs related to it, I’ll probably throw a few discreet uke related ads on there to pay the bills. Of course to make this happen I need you.
So here is the comp.
Write an original ukulele song for children.
The prize…
A Makala Dolphin, set up by MGM, in any colour you want! WOO!
This can be sent anywhere worldwide.
Since this is a comp about encouraging kids to enjoy the uke, and since many of you already have a dolphin or something much, much better. I will happily accept if you wish to nominate a rug rat or other deserving entity to receive the uke instead of you.
Rules, terms and all that malarkey
1. You must play a ukulele in the video. DUR!
2. Only two entries per person.
3. Multi tracking is ok, but the idea is to make the tune accessible to everyone so please bear that in mind.
4. Kids love songs with actions, so actions would be awesome, though not compulsory.
5. You must post the chords and the lyrics in the side bar, so everyone can play your tune.
6. you must post your video as a reply to the competition video…it’s here
7. closing date for the competition will be May 31st. contest closing date extended to June 14th
8 . Judging will take place during the following 2 weeks, the judges will be Sarah age 3 Lucy age 4 Laurie age 7 Sam age 1 George age 5 and Gray age 40.
9 By entering you accept that the video may be used on a uke tunes for kids site which will be free to access for anyone.
Judging criteria, well it’s very simple…. The kids must like it.
Once the competition is finished I will make the site and make it possible for any user to submit new songs.
Comments, suggestions and ideas much appreciated.
Good Luck Have Fun,
can’t wait to see the entries!
