NOMINATION RULES:

1) Nominations will start Saturday, July 20th and end at the end of Saturday, July 27th, for a total of 7 days.

2) Each day starts at 10pm EDT (UTC-04:00), and ends exactly 24 hours after a new day post is made. You may nominate one game using the format provided. Please try to nominate with the "strongest perceived" song in Slot 1, and the "weakest perceived" song in Slot 6. (Note this has changed since the contest was announced!)

Game: [game name]
1: [song name] - [song link]
2: [song name] - [song link]
3: [song name] - [song link]
4: [song name] - [song link]
5: [song name] - [song link]
6: [song name] - [song link]
Alt: [song name] - [song link]

3) If you miss a day of nomination, you have a grace period during the very next day to make it up. 24 hours after a missed day ends, the nomination cannot be made up unless the host was notified earlier.

4) You are responsible for the games that you nominate! You must be willing to take feedback on your lineup and adjust to what potential supports think, but ultimately it is your decision. Extreme cases of "taking soundtracks hostage" will be dealt with by the host if necessary. Do note the removal of "alternate set lists" that have been a thing in the past.

5) You can make edits to your lineup at any point until two days after the end of nominations, on Monday, July 29th at 10pm EDT. There's no specific format for posting edits, just make it clear exactly what about your nomination is changing. If I have any questions due to any sort of confusion, I'll be sure to let you know.

6) As long as every song in its lineup follows eligibility rules, any video games' soundtrack may be nominated! Fan games, visual novels, rhythm games, ROM hacks, etc. all will work. Similar "could argued to be like a game" works such as Homestuck are acceptable.

7) Unreleased games may be nominated if: a complete official soundtrack has been released, the game was completed but cancelled, or the game is in early access.

8) Songs from add-ons and expansions are to be added to a nomination of the base game. Episodic games can be nominated under a common name if there is significant overlap in used music, such as .hack or Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Do note that Umineko and Umineko Chiru are counted as different games in this case.

9) Past champions of the contest may not be nominated, which includes: Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica, Shatter, Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk, and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.
