Jackson Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Golden Hit: Season 5 ⚜ hosted by Jackson & Aurora ⚜ Hi, songwriters! @Aurora and I are super excited to bring you another season of Golden Hit, ATRL’s ultimate songwriting game! Golden Hit has already showcased four seasons of talent and creativity, and during its fifth we hope to host another full of fun, helpful feedback, and excellent songwriting. The first round starts on Saturday 21st, so sign up now! 📀 The Game 📀 For anybody who hasn’t taken part previously, Golden Hit is a songwriting based game. The concept is simple: each round, writers will be given unique weekly prompts designed to inspire players to write lyrics to be submitted for review by Golden Hit’s judging panel. Providing detailed feedback through personalized reviews, our panel will give each entry a score out of ten. Scores are averaged across the panel, determining each song’s score and rank for the round from its overall average. This season we’re bringing an exciting adjustment to the game’s format to encourage even more adventurous songwriting. This season, we will be taking the average of each writer’s top 5 scores to determine the winner of the season. This allows writers to take a week off to gain inspiration, or take additional risks without fear of taking a hit in the rankings. We want you to enjoy the game and challenge yourself as much as possible! The top 3 writers each round will earn a Gold, Silver or Bronze token designed by Aurora, embossed with an image of their choosing. As always, there are no eliminations in Golden Hit and anybody can join at any time! Whether inspiration hits suddenly in Round 4, or you’re in it for the grand prize, we’re excited for another season of fantastic lyrics. We hope you are pumped for this season of Golden Hit and ready to join us on this amazing adventure. We can’t wait to review your songs and witness your growth as writers! Judging Panel @Aurora @Jackson @XO_Life Season Overview New challenges will be posted weekly each Saturday, with submissions due the following Thursday. Judging will occur in between deadlines and the new round being posted, with results for the prior round announced after the new round is posted. Extensions may be granted in certain circumstances. Season 5 of Golden Hit will run for six rounds. Any writer who signs up for this tournament has a place here from the beginning until the very end. Additionally, new writers may join the game at any point, despite missing earlier rounds. If, for whatever reason, a writer doesn't submit for a round, this is okay! Simply put, there are zero eliminations in Golden Hit. Anybody may join and play as they wish. Golden Hit is essentially a creative playground or writing boot camp—it can be whatever you want to make of it. Whether you're an aspiring new writer looking to begin your journey into writing, an amateur looking to gain some writing experience, or even an experienced writer aiming to take a risk and branch out stylistically, there's a place for you at Golden Hit no matter what! This game ultimately can be as competitive or non-competitive of an experience as you wish, with the main goal being to have some fulfilling, artistic fun and to create some amazing songs together. ⚜ Season 5 Hitmakers ⚜ fountain Hug hurricane326 worldwide angel Legend E punisher stupidjock Hey Dude JonginBey Invisibility blackoutbaby Antikythera réveuse JoeAG TruGemini Kayseri Mantisi 1 1

Yes and first time writing in general The only 'song' I ever wrote was poem in middle school that won 2nd place in the contest. But it was just Madonna's 'Swim' translated to polish 2

But it was just Madonna's 'Swim' translated to polish Ooh, we might be witnessing the birth of a legend @Jackson. I think for a lot of people who have participated in these writing tournaments over the years, it has been their first foray into songwriting, or at least their first where they are putting it out there to be judged by someone else who isn't a teacher or friends and family etc. Poetry definitely is a natural gateway to songwriting, and both styles of writing can share similar techniques. Definitely eager to see your first offering—just don't make it a complete Mariah redux!

Aurora Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 18 minutes ago, stupidjock said: I'll try my best not to flop too soon The good thing about Golden Hit is that unlike other tournaments where you might have a flop and you're out, you can still submit for all six rounds of Golden Hit even if your first submission doesn't dazzle in the rankings. Golden Hit sees no benefit to denying anyone an opportunity to submit and grow, especially when these tournaments only happen twice, maybe three times a year. Besides, us judges aren't overly critical. We always like to try and highlight what we enjoy about a piece of writing, as well as mention what we think could be improved and how. If that sounds good to you, I'm sure you'll be collecting Hit Tokens (top three hits) in no time! 1

I like to write, I struggle with English a bit but hopefully I can express myself and delve deep into my lore 1
