If you're eliminating the theme, I would better articulate the criterion on which the pieces will be judged. Will the panel just literally be picking the one they like the most arbitrarily? It's difficult to judge someone's hip-hop/pop song against something like an instrumental especially when the content of the piece can vary from sex and drug inspired hard rock to a love ballad for Firiona Vie. Just food for thought.
Knowing the most outspoken 'artists' of the community, there is bound to be lots of hip-hop and rap songs coming out of this. While those have proved entertaining over the years, hopefully some of the less outspoken members of the community will come out of the woodwork with something original.

I think what's required here is for everyone who is planning an entry to get together with Jeremy and the judges for a god damn 12 hour Skype conference call to adjust all of these concerns. Following the discussion a vote should be made (if an even number of voters and its a tie it should be down to Jeremy to give the casting vote). Have someone take the minutes of the conference to be referred to in the event of any loopholes or other grey areas. Following the decision the proposition should then be put to the community in the form of a poll to make sure everyone is in agreement that the rules made are fair and just. If the community vetos the proposed ruleset another Skype call should be convened this time with Sirken, Rogean, Nilbog, Haynar and anyone else available to formally set some rules they feel are appropriate for the said song competiton. Upon which time that is done we will formally have the framework set and can go about submitting entries in an orderly fashion. Entrants might want to consider submitting a cover sheet with their entry detailing which programs they used, how long it took and what they felt went well or went badly for the community to view publicly. Also to be considered is the judges and the entrants relationships to them, and a further set of rules should be made to ensure that the competition is just and fair which should be overseen by a select committee of.....
Jesus fucking christ, whats this blue obsession with suggesting rules and what should be allowed? Its going to be fun to see what people come up with, I'm looking forward to it.
