Hello everyone!
Many bands were late partecipating on “The Cide – The Band Vol. 2″, so we decided to extend the deadline to February 14 (23:59)
What are you waiting for? Go down in the hi-story!
The remarkable quality of the past edition’s songs has highlighted the value of emerging Italian and international bands, thus strengthening our will to give room for these talents.
So, what are you waiting for? Same contest, same rules plus one: songs that participated in the first edition or in any The Cide-related competition will not be deemed eligible again.
ELIGIBILITY
The contest is open to every band (or single artist), whose members are 14 years or older at the time of entry, submitting one music piece, in any language or entirely instrumental.
The music piece must satisfy the following requirements:
- it must be unpublished
- it must be 100% original (no remixes or remakes of other songs, including your own)
- it must be royalty-free and must not violate or infringe any third party’s copyright or other rights and it must not be under an exclusive contract or any other kind of legal contract
- it must be no longer than six (6) minutes and no shorter than one (1) minute in duration
- it must not contain vulgar, obscene or indecent language or behaviours
- it must not have taken part to any previous The Cide-related competition
Any entries that do not comply with these terms will be disqualified.
Entrants will be deemed responsible for any violation of the copyright, literary, privacy, publicity, trademark, service mark or any other person or property right of any person or entity.
Moreover, the previous editions’ winner bands will be excluded from the contest.
REGISTRATION
Registrations for the contest will be open from 12 p.m. on January 9, 2010, until 11:59 p.m. on February 14, 2019. Any registration submitted later than these terms will not be deemed eligible.
Entrants must fill in the online entry form at http://www.thecide.com and follow the instructions to send the song in mp3 format. By submitting the entry form the entrants agree to the above regulations and restrictions.
To complete the registration the entrants must:
- add to their own myspace profile the banner of the contest, unchanged and clearly visible until the end of the contest.
- add “The Cide” to their myspace friends list.
- add the “The Cide” myspace profile to the top-friends list of their own profile until the end of the contest.
The organisational committee reserves the right to check at any time the observance of the above rules. Any entrants that do not comply with these rules will be disqualified.
WINNER SELECTION
Entries will be evaluated by the “The Cide” Artistic Committee to select the finalist bands after the registrations closing date.
The finalists will be named on February 15, 2010 and will be admitted to the final phase.
The winning music piece will be chosen by a public online voting at “The Cide.com”. The winning music piece will be the one receiving the largest amount of votes during the final phase ending at 11:59 p.m. on February 21, 2009.
PRIZES
The winning music piece will be added to the “The Cide” official soundtrack. Specifically, it will be added, partly or entirely, to one or more sections of the 5th episode and, when necessary, in one or more sections of any episode.
The band name and the song title will be added to the credits section of the website and will be promoted and advertised in any media format or medium and through any media channels the organisational committee will deem appropriate.
