Stella! Sounds like a GREAT contest, that I will love to rip my hair out for! When it say own interpretation and original score, what does that mean? The original score I think it means All the instruments. When it says interpretation what does that mean?
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enter, Matt. That'd be great. I think that the fan's interpretation of the original theme means you play something from the actual Indy and/or TR theme but give it your own flair. An orginal composition would be something you've created yourself but inspired by Indiana Jones and/or Tomb Raider.
ReplyDeleteThat's just my understanding of the rules, though. If you want to be absolutely sure, I'd encourage you to contact L.E. Croft, the contest organizer. Just click the banner in the post or any of the IndyCroft.com links to get to her site, where you'll find a contact link.
Good luck!
Stella, how do we submit our entries? I can't find an email address here or at Indy Croft...
ReplyDeleteH4RR7H: On the Indy Croft site (http://www.indycroft.com/news/?p=120) there's link to submit entries. Or you can email directly. It's admin [at sign] indycroft [dot] com. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteClicking on the banner doesn't work for those without an email software installed; that was my problem...
ReplyDeleteCheers Stella :)
P.S. I'll link you if you link us! :D

Hi Stella. My name is Charles Axtell aka "musicmaestro10" on youtube. I just posted a new video for my entry "Secrets of Thailand/Forgotten Worlds" from the one I sent to L.E.Croft if you want to see it, but as a judge you've probably already heard it! If not please check it out!!
