New procedure for submitting songs to a festival

[64Guitars]

Quite a few members are still not submitting their songs correctly for the festivals, so I've created a guide with the instructions here:

Please be sure to follow this procedure for all festival submissions.

Thanks.

It's a year today since this festival submission procedure went into effect and a few people are still not following it. So I've added a notice in the blue box below the message editor:



From now on, any posts that don't follow these instructions will not be added to the festival jukebox, even if it's obvious that the song is intended for a festival. And I'll no longer send you a PM to ask if you meant for your song to be in the festival. It's up to you to submit it correctly. Sorry to be so strict but it's been a year and I think that a few people will never learn to do it right if there are no consequences for doing it wrong. The new notice is quite prominent and the festival submission guide clearly describes the procedure which is very easy, so there should be no excuse for not following it.

Also, from now on, I will post detailed descriptions of each of the current festivals in the Current Festivals topic so you'll know what sort of songs are expected for the festivals. The topic is sticky and can be found in the General Discussion board. There is also a link to it in the blue notice box below the message editor.

None of my Yule Fest songs will play from the Festival page. I think it might be because I replaced the original mixes with new mixes. How can I remedy this? Any help appreciated.

Yes. it's because you changed the mp3 attachment and the jukebox still points to the original attachment which no longer exists. Whenever you replace an mp3 attachment that is in a festival jukebox, you should set the message icon back to "Festival submission" to attract the attention of myself or cuthbert and add a note at the bottom of the message saying "2020/12/22 - New mix" or something like that. When we see it, we'll update the jukebox to point to the new attachment. I'll fix your entries in the YuleFest jukebox now, but please keep this in mind for the future.

Got it, thanks 64.
