are instrumentals accepted? I am no good on the singing front!

EDIT: just kidding! I saw the part where it says instrumentals are fine. Hooray!
 
One question: could you define "distasteful content"? I mean, could the song you're covering have swears in it or is that an automatic out?

Well it will be a case by case thing... We are open minded but have reasonnable limits, I guess... If you are not sure email or pm me the song and I will let you know.
 
Hey Uke players! Let us know if you like our contest and if you plan to participate!

I will definitely post a vid or two for this contest.
