i didnโ€™t write hardly any of the lyrics for sanctuary, so i didnโ€™t want to post it for a lyric writing competition :skull:ย  my melodic contributions were much more significant for that songย 

Mess, not my praise serving backhanded compliment unintentionally. :skull:ย Although melody is just as important as lyrics in actual song composition I believe. Regardless, "View" is my second favourite from the EP though, and that's that on that!

WAIT i just realized all the judges debuted in PH6. what an iconic season - a sign possibly?ย 

I may be biased, but I have always considered PH6 to be the season that "opened the floodgates" so to speak, walking so PH7 and after could run.

Inch resting, this sounds fun & creative!ย 

ย 

Is there specific judging/scoring criteria i.e structure, wordplay, creative rhymes? Or just a general rating?ย :flower:

I'm so excited to be part of the judging panel this season!! Thank you @fountain and @Aurora for the kind introduction and for inviting me to the panel in the first place!! This is my first time judging any Platinum Hit/Golden Hit season, so this will be a super different experience for me! I am very much looking forward to sharing my constructive commentary as a peer reviewer and big music fan. Can't wait!

love a surprise

I'd say it's a bit of both, but in short, it's a general rating. I cannot speak for the other judges, but when it comes time to review the submissions, I will be taking various factors or "criteria" into consideration when forming my general rating. Some of these factors will be consistent among all submissions and all rounds, while others will be tailed to specific challenge briefs or individual players if they received a specific piece of constructive criticism and have taken that on board. Context is also imperative; a song with fantastic wordplay and many brilliant, creative rhymes can be just as good as a free form song without any apparent rhyming or wordplay if the overall piece is cohesive and lyrically mesmerising. There's definitely no formula or recipe for a well-written song, especially not in Golden Hit. Unconventionality and experimentation will be welcomed as much as tradition and commercialism!

PH8, absolutely! โ€œIslandโ€ and your song about crown shyness remain etched in my mind. :clap3:ย Fantastic to see youโ€™re interested in participating!

The gif too we- please tell me someone managed to preserve the one with all the judgeโ€™s names added to it. :lmao:

Glad to hear this! I like to jump between different writing styles so I'm excited that I could serve Never Let Me Go one day and The Ketchup Song (Aserejรฉ) the next day :fan: :duca:

Thanks for signing up! Also, very cute picย :heart:

The artists you listed are all really great, and the songs you mentioned are really interesting, I don't think anybody has mentioned them before but they are great examples of well written songs!

I don't know if I'm right here, but The Menace is kinda giving reputation era teas a little? :eli:ย I really enjoyed reading it and can definitely see it in that vain, even with Taylor's voice singing it in my head. A great sign :clap3:

ย 

Thank you so much!:spin:ย

Scandi-pop is the best sub-genre, ready for the Max Martin of ATRL to arrive :duca:

I'm hyped for Round 1 :duca: Not knowing what I'm gonna write and come up with is so exciting. I don't think I'll be planning much when I write, I kind of want to see where I naturally feel led to. It's been years since I wrote a song properly so this will be interesting for myself to see what takes place.

30 sign ups! :clap3: Welcome everyone :whistle: :date:

ย 

I hope the judges give themselves enough time to review all the entries :heart:

ย 

Writing one song per round is already enough for me let alone reading and reviewing 30 (and possibly more) :matty: :jonnycat:

I think it's going to be a fun challenge! It's a great (re-)introductory challenge that'll surely inspire some creative entries. While I won't be participating as a contestant per se, I will be writing alongside you all, adhering to the same challenges and deadlines. :celestial5:

Never too late! Unlike most other tournaments, sign ups won't close until the end of the season. That means someone can submit for the sixth and final round only if they wish! Participating in all of the rounds will give you the best chance at being named this season's winner of Golden Hit, if that's one of your goals for the season. However, while this is a tournament, and there will be a winner, we don't want this to be the sole or even the main focus of this experience. Progression in each individual's writing is always the goal!

Since Golden Hit isn't a traditional game with eliminations and is more like a song writing boot camp, the sign ups won't end. You can join at any point!ย 

This season will run for six rounds, and if anybody misses a round they are still free to join and take part in the next one. :heart:

We're excited too, it's going to be fun seeing what everybody creates :jonny4:

The challenges we have lined up should serve as a basis for some great songs to be written :duca:

for scoring purposes, is a non-submission just a 0 for the week? will there be any free weeks or dropped scores?ย

ย 

Exactly, not submitting would mean a 0 for that week and will count to your overall average at the end of the season. So if you are worried about your average Iโ€™d recommend sending something in even if you are busy and it is just something quick or small, since that would be better than just getting a 0.ย
