Rules

• Anyone can participate! You don’t need to be a member of Conducer Hub, although you are encouraged to join through this link.
• Upload a video featuring your song by the deadline and send me a link to it to uruwi@protonmail.com or kozet#8409 on Discord.
• You may choose one of the themes above.
• Original songs only, no covers.
• Your song must have vocals produced with a vocal synthesis program (such as Vocaloid, UTAU, SynthV or DeepVocal). Multiple vocalists are allowed.
• The lyrics must be in a documented conlang. No relexes, no cyphers, no gibberish. You do not have to use your own conlang.
• Videos must be no longer than 5 minutes long.
• You may work in a group for this contest. Be sure to give proper credit to all members of your team.
• Please include the following in the video description:

  • The name of the language used and a link to its documentation (if it’s not really famous)
  • The vocalist(s) used in the song
  • Proper credits for the work
  • Link to full lyrics with IPA, gloss and English translation
  • Mention that the video is an entry to this contest
• Works will be judged based on their quality and impressiveness.
  • Judging will happen starting on 2019-12-03 00:00 UTC.
  • If you’d like to become a judge for this contest, contact me through the means mentioned earlier.
  • Judges may not participate in the contest, but they may submit non-scoring entries, which will be shown in a separate section. Anyone else can also choose to make their entry non-scoring, though there probably isn’t any point in doing so.
