The rules for FC System F are as simple as we could keep
them!
- First rule of all, anyone can enter the competition for a
chance to become part of the greatest team in trance history. To
us, it doesn't matter if you're 7 or 70, if you come from Argentina
or Japan, or if you own a dog or a cat. Your entry could be the
first remix you've ever made, or you could be an established artist
or producer. So to make things clear, anyone can enter this
competition.
- As an exception to the first rule, only people who are
currently employed by Black Hole Recordings, Flashover Recordings,
Trackitdown.net or Copa are prohibited from entered the
competition. Just so you know we do want to give those prizes
away!
- After all of the remixes for a System F track are submitted, we
will pick the remixes we feel are good enough to enter the voting
pool. The number of remixes in the voting pool may vary per track,
so as few as 2 or as many as 10 mixes may be selected. We will not
enter any discussions whether a remix is good or not.
- There are also no limits to the style of remix you make. For
example, as long as it's well-produced, a lounge remix or a dubstep
remix has just as much chance to end up in the voting pool as a
trance remix.
- There is also no limit to the number of times you can enter the
competition, so you can remix 1 FC System F track or you can remix
all 10. You can, however, submit only 1 remix of each track.
- We ask that you submit each remix to us as an mp3 by uploading
it via your profile. If your remix is chosen for the voting stage,
we will then ask you for a full audio format, being either a stereo
.wav or .aif file. We advise you to store such a file when you
submit your .mp3 for the competition.
- If your remix is chosen for the voting pool, we'll let you know
on the day that your remix is posted on www.fcsystemf.com. This way
you can let all your friends know that they should vote for you.
We'll also announce these mixes via our Twitter account, twitter.com/fcsystemf.
- We will not notify you if your remix did not make it past our
first selection, but as promised we will print your name in the
booklet of the FC System F "Champions" album, and you'll still have
a chance to win 1 of those 100 free copies of the album at the end
of the competition.
- Of course, we don't want our outtakes/parts to be used for
anything else besides making remixes for FC System F. Therefore,
before you download the outtakes/parts, you must agree to our Terms
& Conditions.
- In short, the Terms & Conditions outline what you can and
can't do when you have the outtakes/parts in your possession. For
example, you can't post or upload your remix anywhere other than
www.fcsystemf.com, and you can't release your remix on any other
label or make a new recording with the outtakes/parts under your
own name. To keep it really simple, the only thing you can do with
the outtakes/parts is make a remix and send it to us for the
competition. Any remixes submitted to FC System F will belong to
us, and we will be free to exploit or not exploit the remix as we
see fit.
- If you've downloaded the outtakes/parts and you couldn't make
something worthwhile to send to us, we kindly ask you to dispose of
the outtakes/parts at the end of the remix competition.
So, we hope everything is clear to you. Of course,
you're welcome to read or print the Terms & Conditions before
you click yes. If you have any questions, please send us an e-mail
to referee@fcsystemf.com.
