This song contest is based on the one on KH-Vids, started there by a user who goes by the name of burnitup (apparently he got the idea from a different forum, but that topic doesn't specify which one). I will be hosting the first round, though later rounds may be hosted by other users.

The rules are as follows:

Submitting Entries
-Each round, there will be a 1-week window to submit songs. If the host feels that there have not been enough songs entered at the end of this time, they may choose to extend the deadline by a few days if they wish to do so.
-Submitted songs must be at most 10 minutes in length. If your song exceeds this length, you incur a 5 point penalty.
-Unless the host specifies otherwise, song entries may be submitted either by PMing the host on discord or simply by posting your entry in this topic (it is recommended to do so via PM). If you submit your entry via PM, please also post in this topic to indicate that you have submitted an entry.
-Youtube links are preferred, but links to bandcamp, soundcloud, and other such sites are also acceptable.
-This is not a singing contest, nor is there any requirement that you submit an original song (though you may do so if you choose.) For the purposes of this contest, it is perfectly acceptable to submit an existing song.
-As always, the rules of the forum apply.
-If the person hosting a given round wishes to do so, they may specify a specific theme for the round, in which case all submitted entries should fit the indicated theme.

Voting
-Once the submission deadline has been reached, the host should begin the voting phase by posting a list of all the songs that have been entered (they are also allowed to add an entry of their own if they choose to do so). This list should not include the usernames of the users who submitted the songs, and should ideally be in a random order. After the voting phase has been started, you will have 1 week to submit your votes.
-If you have submitted an entry, you are required to vote during this phase or your entry will be disqualified. Users who have not submitted entries are welcome to vote as well, but their votes will be counted for half points.
-To vote, select and rank your 10 favorite entries, not counting your own entry. If there are fewer than 11 total entries, instead select and rank a number of songs equal to the number of entries minus 1.
-Each 1st-place vote is worth 12 points, each 2nd-place vote is worth 10 points, 3rd place votes are worth 8, 4th-place votes are worth 7, 5th-place votes are worth 6, and so on until 10th-place votes, which are worth 1 point each. The entry that receives the most points is the winner.
-At the end of the voting period, the host should post the results in this topic, revealing the final point totals of each entry and what user submitted each entry.
-If they choose to do so, the player who submitted the winning entry gets the first claim for running the next round. If they indicate that they do not wish to do so, it passes on to the second place winner, and so on down the line.
-As with submitting entries, unless the host specifies otherwise, votes may be submitted either by PMing the host on discord or by posting in this topic (again, unless the host specifies otherwise).

Again, I will be hosting the first round. This being December, the theme this round will be Christmas Music (anything winter-themed is also acceptable.) Entries should be submitted by Friday, December 14 Monday, December 17 at 9:00 PM EST.
