To make it fair in terms of voting and exposure time all entries will be posted and visible to the public on the youtube channel on the 17th March, there will then be a two week listening and voting period before the winner is announced.

Fair enough - I've got a couple of ideas mapped out so hopefully I can get something completed soon.

Really want to have a go but I can't get the toanz from POD farm, and my laptop is dead.  I'm typing from a borrowed one.  

I might borrow it for a bit tomorrow, install the PS UX2 and POD Farm and see if I can just throw some blues at you.  

I'm a bit shit at guitar though, more so at blues!

Did the deadline change since you put the original post up?

(I'm working on a countdown ticker and checking the first post again it says 15 March.  Thought it was a month after that, but maybe I got it wrong.)

No you are correct it did change, it was made a quarterly competition as everyone said that four months was too long. Although I think it was changed very early on after the competition was published.

Ah fair enough.  No worries.

Still got plenty of time so don't get put off by the moved deadline, hopefully we will get lots more entries soon.
