Topic	[VGMC] Video Game Music Contest 15 announcement!! Noms are 4/15!!
banshiryuu 04/02/21 9:30:00 PM #1:	Hello everyone!! I'm sure a lot of people have been waiting patiently on an announcement for the next iteration of VGMC, and it's finally time! You might be expecting this topic from azuarc, but unfortunately our dear host has passed on.... the torch, that is! This year, the contest will be run by a team of yours truly, banshiryuu (deogenerate) and Toxtricity (Mycro)!! With introductions out of the way, on to the nitty gritty: VGMC 15 nominations will open on Thursday, April 15th at 10pm Eastern time!! The current plan is to have nominations open for 10 days, and end at the same time on April 25th. In anticipation of noms opening, I figured I'd briefly go over some of the changes (or lack thereof) that you'll see this year. - Bracket Size: 256! That's right, now that participation is up and projected to continue in an upward direction this year, we'll be running a full bracket of 256 songs this year!! - Unfortunately, this means no side bracket this year. Don't wanna overload everyone!! - Due to bracket expansion, nominations cap bumped up to 30 noms per person! Per-game nom limit also bumped to 3 from 2, but series limit and number of doubles limit is more than likely staying at 5. - Locking system for the first seven days of nominations will make a return!! Due to bracket expansion the lock number will be raised to 6 votes. - Eligibility is going to be a LOT more lenient than past years. A document not unlike the one from BOST5 will be posted alongside the noms topic (it's not quite done yet) but I will highlight the change that will probably make the biggest splash, which is that we're totally allowing "anything that is part of a game's soundtrack or otherwise obviously intended to be for the game." Which basically means Nex Machina - Cosmic Hero (trailer music only, not in-game) or Drift Stage - Zadok (wasn't actually in the game in the way it existed yet) are totally okay once again!! If there's anything else you guys would like to see, there's still plenty of time to plant some thoughts in your hosts minds! And likewise if anything you just read made you visibly disgusted, now's your chance to beg us not to do that! Either way, hope you all are excited for this years contest~ <cite>banshiryuu posted [p:952405929] in [VGMC] Vid... [t:79384337]...</cite> <quote>Hello everyone!!
