Topic	[VGMC] Video Game Music Contest 15: Nominations thread (for real this time)
Toxtricity 04/15/21 10:06:38 PM #2:	Greetings all, and welcome to Video Game Music Contest XV: Episode Toxtricity and Episode Deoxys!! If you're returning to us fresh off the heels of last year's VGMC14, then welcome back! If you're here for the first time then allow us as your hosts to be the first to tell you what our little yearly shindig is all about. ... *What is VGMC?* Video Game Music Contest (VGMC for short) is a single-elimination tournament of video game music that we run right here through GameFAQs forums. The community comes together to determine a pool of songs to populate the bracket with, and then run daily head-to-head matches to slowly determine the best of the best of the field. *The community, you say? Does that mean I can help get songs into this bracket?* Of course! This process of finding songs to use in the tournament is known as the "nominations phase", which is what is starting right now. Anyone and everyone can participate, and the more the merrier! There's a few rules and formats you'll need to follow which will be laid out in the post right below this one, but we'd more than love to see what you can bring to the table! *How exactly does the song pool get decided then?* Everyone who participated has a pool of 30 songs that they can "nominate", which can be either new songs or supporting other songs people have posted. During the two week nomination period, you can move around these nominations as you please, and once nomination time is over, the most nominated 256 songs (simplified, there's some other stuff that'll go down) will be our field for the bracket. Then your hosts will conjure up a bracket, and a while later the bracket will be released and the contest will begin! *Where can I talk to people about the contest?* We have a dedicated channel for VGM on the Board 8 discord, which is linked in the first post above! Find us in the #vgmusic channel! *What kind of stuff has done well in past contest?* Our previous host, azuarc, compiled a playlist of the winners of past contests here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9O9mntH1RElFQnUIoUjxk4_bi-uLbVQ Additionally, you can see the brackets for previous years linked here: https://p0p0p0p.github.io/contests.html (thank you to PIayer_0 for this beauty of a site!!) *I've been here before, what's the tl;dr on changes this year?* For a quick rundown of the big changes you should know... * banshiryuu (deogenerate) and Toxtricity are your hosts now! * Bracket is 256 songs this year! We're goin all in!! * Total nominations increase from 20 to 30, and game maximum from 2 songs to 3 songs (note 5 doubles and 5 limit per series stay the same) * Locks are back! Need 6 nominations to lock instead of 5. * Eligibility is laxed a bit to include non-in-game OST material and trailer music, among other obviously game-adjacent material.
