Aurora Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Welcome, writers! We're so excited to be bringing Golden Hit into 2024 with this sensational sixth season. The Northern Hemisphere is currently in springtime, and we hope to look to the season to inspire you all. Without further ado, let me introduce you all to the first round of Season 6... Spring has sprung, and what better way to take inspiration from the season than to look to nature? In this inspiration challenge, the only requirement is for your songs to feature butterflies. Symbolizing positive change, transformation, and rebirth, butterflies are a wonderful source of inspiration for our first challenge of 2024. There are many ways to meet this criteria, suited to both literal and metaphorical writing styles. For example, you may choose to integrate the idiom, "butterflies in my stomach,” or delve into chaos theory's butterfly effect. Perhaps instead you will write a song inspired by the process of metamorphosis, or opt for a simple song that utilizes butterflies in a memorable way within your song's lyrics. Songs due via Google Form submission by Thu. Mar 21, 11:59PM EST This challenge is relatively straightforward, but please let us know if you require any clarification. The top three submissions will earn their writers a Hit Token, so make sure to submit for your chance at one of those. If you have not yet signed up for Golden Hit: Season 6, that's fine! Just submit an entry and we'll add you to the sign-ups list.

Cause where are the songs and melodies and chord placements etc? Some see it as such, yes. While I recognise there is a lot of overlap with poetry and what this tournament calls for, I wouldn't say it's as straightforward as that. You could certainly submit a poem and see how you fare. Personally, I think what separates a poem from a song's lyrics (in many but not all cases) is the technique and approach. Song lyrics often have repeating sections (pre-choruses, choruses etc.) and often differ structurally from conventional poems. There's really no "right" or "wrong" way to go about this game though, so if you are considering submitting an entry, just do whatever you feel like and when the time comes the judges will let you know what they think of your approach to the task. Occasionally, we will have writers submit recorded/produced demos alongside their lyrics too, however this is both completely optional and not taken into account when scoring/ranking. But if that's something you're able and willing to do, we'd always encourage that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiatus Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Good luck everyone To our new members: don't be afraid to get creative, step out of your comfort zone and try all sorts of ideas. Push yourself harder with each new track. An idea backfired and you scored low / last in a round? No problem, the lower you fall the higher you can rise. Keep your chin up. You got this, bro. Trust. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weld_E Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Are we getting a detailed prompt or is it just “Butterfly”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisibility Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Aaaaand sent... Feels good to be very early and on time this time! Built up this idea from a song title I had in drafts for like a year, and wrote it down through a different lens which was difficult, but I'm proud of the result Hope the panel finds much to say about....

As the game progresses the challenges typically get more specific, or require combining multiple elements of a challenge prompt. Since this is our first game in a few months we wanted to start with something light and easy, and open to interpretation. As long as there's some semblance of butterfly representation in your submission (however linear or abstract that may be), you can write literally anything you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XO_Life Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 12 hours ago, Aurora said: To the two users who do not wish to participate—noted, you will be removed from all future seasons' sign-ups tag lists. Thank you and best of luck in your endeavours. Hoping things get better for you soon and you can see your family! I'm sure that'll make for quite the reunion when it happens. We're always here for you. Well... what will it be? Can we expect to see you back this season? Thank you I will be seeing them at the end of the month for a few days. Two weeks after that I will be travelling for work again Btw, I still haven't received a salary increase. According to my colleague the increase will be around 2%-3%... which is basically nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
