Hello Ukuloonie here
Wow we made it through to a whole year of the seasons that amazing, that's all down to you guys, thanks so much for making this year a great one. Thanks to all who have participated.
I know it's a lot to go through, most of this stuff is what we have organically done already, this just helps the newcomers to the Seasons of the Ukulele understand what to expect. Remember this is A weekly Challenge.
Through the discussion thread, I learned that most of us want to keep the Seasons basically the same, with a few guidelines, and no rules. There are a couple adjustments that may make the Seasons smoother.
I will need help with a reserve list in case people have difficulty during their week or I am unable to contact the host for that week in anyway, please let me know if you also want your name down to be part of the Reserve list
Some Guidelines are as follows
--If you wish to host, choose a week when you think you'll be fairly free (not when you'll be away).
--Mark it on your personal calendar so you'll be preparing as you get to it.
--Sign up for only two weeks per year unless empty weeks stay empty, then take another.
--If things change and you can't host, please advise me ASAP so we can get a substitute.
--The only week with a theme in advance is the last full Challenge before Christmas. (The Holiday Songs week was like a holiday party, with many warm greetings and cheer.)
Hosts
--We're in "your house," and you can set things up your way, but there are some expectations.
--Hosts must have posted at least one video in a Seasons challenge. And more is much better---the more you participate, the more you'll know the other participants.
--Hosts please comment in the threads it just helps.
--Each Season begins late Saturday evening mainland U.S. time (the actual hour can vary). At that time the host posts the theme, the rules, and prizes for the week. The host should emphasize that no videos are to be posted until Sunday mainland U.S. time.
--Each Season ends eight days later at Sunday midnight Hawaii time (a quirky tradition we have kept). This means that the Seasons overlap on one day, with one Season closing and one Season opening each Sunday.
(Seasonistas who live outside mainland US/Canada time zones have the same length of time to participate, but their start and end times are calculated in their own time zones.)
--You choose the theme and set the parameters (do you allow bonus songs, multi-tracking, etc.?).
--Post your new theme late Saturday night in the U.S., but don't allow videos posted until Sunday.
--End the following Sunday night (it's usually Sunday midnight Hawaii time, but you choose).
--Please arrange your judging to announce winners before the following weekend, which already has two challenge weeks overlapping.
--Offer some sort of prize, but it need not cost much. Certificates are fine. Joke prizes are fine.
--I think as part of the fun of the week a Host should post a video in your own week, I know that others already do this.
Participants
As Participants. The more the merrier---encourage shy people to join us.
--Follow the host's specifications for that week. (Sometimes a host might forbid a certain song.)
--COMMENT ON OTHERS' VIDEOS, and not just your top favorites! Everyone likes encouragement, even those who do a lot of encouraging. -Your comment might help someone enormously. Lets share the Aloha Spirit for which this Weekly challenge wanted to build.
--(In the past, some people posted lists of the entries, with comments for each one. Now, we're moving more toward posting on YouTube, but ukers like to be noticed, and posting in the thread---without duplicating the video or lots of text---is welcome.)
On a personal note, I think that we have a good group here who participate each week. I was thinking if you don’t see somebody for a while on the Seasons, it might make somebody’s day if they were just contacted to see how they were doing, not to find out why that they are not participating, just to say hello, thinking of you and hope all is well.
So, onward we go for another year of Seasons of the Ukulele!
