Just did a quick tot up of the score....16 votes placed so far, and it's currently a 3 way tie between @Adam_MD @mellowsun and @steamabacus  ;

I think it's 5 non participants that have voted.

 btw who is tim morris? That's not a forum name I recognise.

I would prefer either not allowed to vote for yourself, or even participants cant vote at all over being allowed to vote for your own entry.

I would have preferred not to be able to vote for myself.  As it is, I know I won't go home with a Eurovision Iceland score.

As a matter of interest, I thought that there was a decent album's worth of ambient music in the entries, of a superb standard.

I'd have voted for Not the DJ other than mine.

My thoughts exactly.  Good track.

@Cacofonix Well if you want to change your vote then I am happy to ban self voting for this Challenge as well, if however you wish to keep your vote that is also totally fine.

Cacofonix

I'd rather not self-vote thanks.  Banning it is fine by me.

Unless nobody else votes for me, of course.

OK consider self voting banned I will update the rules now, feel free to change your vote to whoevers track you like the best.

Antique_Guitars

Right a note to everyone, self voting is now officially prohibited!
:ar!

On a side note we could release the tracks as a compilation on bandcamp as a pay what you want and any money received can be pumped into prizes.

Also an easy way for everyone to download the tracks so we're not tied to the forum to listen.

PolarityMan

Thanks to @lastmantra for his vote (didn't want to pollute the voting thread ) glad you liked it!

LastMantra

TBH I wouldn't be to bothered if there wasn't any voting at all!

@PolarityMan Cool tune dude, no bother.

+1 @LastMantra I really enjoyed all the tracks. The standard was excellent and I had a nightmare of a time picking just one. I eventually chose @not_the_dj because I loved the tone he had.

not_the_dj

Thanks @Adam_MD and anyone else that's listened and enjoyed.

This really should be what the heart of the forum is all about, and it's great to be involved.

Well it looks like nil points for moi  ( lol .. To be fair I didn't put much effort in.  Couldn't decide what to do and on the last day recorded three quick new ones, picked one and entered.....  Some of you guys did amazing entries so well done to one and all.  I think I'd struggle to pick a top three even.  I could appreciate all of them for what they are in their own right.

Chuffola

Yes, this is one thing thing that really is all about the taking part. 

Most of the entries are superb and a compilation CD is a great idea @TTony ;
