The Monthly Themed Compilation Thread [MAY'S COMP AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!]

Freebase Dali · 05-01-2011, 10:43 AM

Every month, participants submit songs to make a downloadable mix-tape.
These compilations are themed, based on the theme that gets the most votes by the poll's deadline.

HOW IT WORKS
On the first of every month, a voting round for the month's theme will begin. It will be held in this thread, and all the previous month's posts and votes will have been cleared. The voting round will start on the 1st of the month, and be closed on the 10th, and the winning theme will be announced. Submissions will then be accepted until the 20th. When the submission round reaches its deadline, the submissions will be arranged into a compilation and featured in the DOWNLOADS section of this post.

THEMES & VOTING
- You may request new themes to be added or removed in this thread at any time.
- Used themes will be removed when the poll is reloaded for the new month.
- Theme voting begins on the 1st of the month, and closes on the 10th.
- Votes are multiple choice.
- If you would like to change a vote, please let me know what you would like your vote changed from & to, prior to the poll's deadline. Requests will not be accepted after that time.

SUBMISSIONS
- Submissions will be accepted from the 10th until the 20th of each month. (This means that submissions will not be accepted on the 20th.)
- Although there are no limits or quotas for submissions, please keep the number of voters in mind when submitting and assume an average of 2 submissions per voter. If additions or reductions in song numbers become necessary for a particular compilation, there will be notification of that.
- Please label your submissions with at least the artist and song title.
- Please send only MP3s, 128kbps or higher.

I will not be hosting the guessing games for these compilations. If participants wish to play them on their own in this thread, they are welcome, and should remember to request anonymity when submitting their songs, otherwise their names will be credited in the download and in this thread.

There will be notifications of any changes or updates regarding these comps.
