-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lack of interest and participation, the only extra award will be the Signature FX with the category title so you can place on your sig like the two awards sessions before this. (the golden mic with the thingys lol).
I hate repeating myself, but same deal, people who don't participated don't deserve to complain, however every opinion is welcomed as long as its not of hate or just purely negative for its sake, those will be deleted like always. But feel free to post ideas, congratulate your members, do a critical review of the whole process if you feel like it. I know not everyone will agree with the results of course, but with the fewer people participating, the less accurate or general will the results be.
anyways, the way I choose the winners was the followng:
- Votes from people who participated (which were just a very few of you)
- Actual track quality
- comments from your peers on the song thread
- and the actual track criteria, (quality, flow, impact, etc...)
I only made one adjustment from the nominations, which was on the Flow section. I thought it was a fair change and I do not intend to downgrade or upgrade anyone, and hopefully you will agree with me.
aaand, just I'll copy paste important info from the past topics:
hope you really take this for what its worth in a positive manner.
for those not nominated, well, the short lists for each category had over 10 tracks, so many many of you were considered, unfortunately not always we can get u know?. But I strongly encourage all of you to congratulate those who did received a mention. Those songs are great
the reason I do this, again is because you guys deserve it, we put effort in our music and craft songs carefully just so people can enjoy it better and this is like a commemoration of those efforts. I personally thank you all for helping the music with what you bring to the table. and remember, a big ego doesn't make you better, it probably makes you worse without realizing it, think before talking.

FreeDoom wrote:Didn't really have much to say to be honest apart from praise for it.
AbramIsaac wrote:Your focus on lyricism didn't get in the way of the story, and that is the key to the balancing act of rhyming vs content.
