Thanks for these questions, it made me realize that I had some missing info!

So
You will be judged based on these criteria

- Song choice
- Quality of the performance and the video
- Originality of your musical arrangement
- And overall feeling!


In a nutshell you should try, just to do it is a victory by itself...
 
^ That's very helpful. :) I have two more questions, based on the above info:

1. Does that mean some marks will be based on video quality? Because I don't have any good recording equipment :(
2. Does the musical arrangement have to be your own then? (As in, do you have to have transcribed or tabbed out the song yourself? On the one hand I don't think I should be marked well for someone else's arrangement, but at the same time, that very much ups the level of the contest imo (well, at least it does for an amateur like myself ;) )).

Sorry...just wanting to clarify! =) Btw- having two prizes is awesome and really generous of you, so thanks very much for hosting the competition!

Some marks will be given on the effort put on the video... If we feel you have tried hard, you will get some points. I we feel you did not care for it... you will loose some... It doesnot have to be HD and all techno, but the quality and the effort in the video will have an impact for sure.

For the arrangments, yesI guess that we need to feel that you put your own signature in the song.
