Chords of Truth Remix Contest
Official Rules | Terms & Conditions
1. I DO NOT want anyone taking these tracks and creating a hate filled or negative remix (lyrically). I am excited to see what you all come up with and all genres are welcome, but it has to stay positive in message. The primary purpose for Chords of Truth is to help empower everyone to challenge their perception of the world and create a positive experience for themselves and everyone around them. And we all know that's what the world needs.
So please keep it POSITIVE IN MESSAGE!
2. Use the following naming convention when posting your remixes so that we can keep things organized, and can both increase our exposure through this project.
Chords of Truth - [song name] ([your moniker] [style] Remix)
ex. Chords of Truth - Listen (Tha Green Raver Dubstep Remix)
3. Entries must be submitted to the "Chords of Truth Remix Contest" dropbox at SoundCloud.com by 11:59 Eastern Standard Time on July 10th 2012. Submission of tracks is subject to Soundcloud’s terms and conditions so please ensure you observe these. You may enter more than one remix, but please only submit "finished" tracks. Collaboration is allowed, but artists involved with this practice will need to discuss among themselves how to split the prizes.
4. Entrants must warrant that their entries are original work and do not infringe intellectual property and privacy of a third party. Any submissions identified using a sample that is ‘uncleared’ will be disqualified. The definition of an ‘uncleared’ sample is a loop, sample or musical work for which you do not own the copyright (ie: you didn’t create it). You are free to use sounds that were created by you and/or royalty free loops. The submitting party bears all responsibility for their use of any ‘uncleared’ content.
