id like to add a valentines day song to the list... we can all write a love song surely ...or you can all write one for me... i dont mind!

we must have now got enough ideas here to do 1 a month .... what about that a song challenge evry month?

we just need to sort out the order we do them in thru the year & whoever suggested each one is responsible for running it

[Dutchbeat]

sounds good to me, Tinam

I think Valentine is first  , i think that is somewhere in february already???

i will help me remind when it is, so that is a plus already

perhaps cover song in march / april? couldn't that be covering any song, one from a forum member or an existing hit?

and than perhaps we can combine the Olympic and Euro2012 (football) together into one, called something like: heroïc sports song category, or something like that (to be finished in Mai??/ Run by Kafla)

straight after that perhaps the category: Summer hit (to be finished in June...organised by me, please help us all)

what else was there....i been away for a few days...short song...perhaps we could do a best ringtone contest???

titanic song???what is that, lyrics about a sinking boat? i happen to have made one in the far past....with very Dunglish lyrics

and a Cheff Naked song....what is that? is that where we make a version of Cheff Daniel song....?? Sounds good to me

hope someone can help me catchup with this

Eurovision....OK
But what would be the criteria apart from not longer than 3 mins?

Football song for 2112.....OK
After all a Scot wrote the England Squads song for 1970 "Back Home"

Forum Cover song.........OK
Would be nice to hear a couple of variations and it would give an incentive to swap ideas.

Valentines Day love song...............OK  and as this one has the closest deadline.......?

Don't forget the Olympics. A massive event for the UK.

The one competition a month idea is intriguing.

Two ideas that would need a bit of organising and a trusted moderator, but how about getting lyricists and musicians together.

1. Ballot pairs:- Lyricists into one hat, musicians into another. Any style goes.
or
2. Lyricists excuse me. Lyricists pick a musician that they think would make a good partner for a lyrical idea. Again any style goes.

Obviously volunteers only and it would need even numbers of each.........but as a way of getting would be collaborators together for a one off event ......?

this is difficult ....it all needs organising but i know people dont like being told what to do so im reluctent to do it
its probly best if  we keep  a updated list of all the song challenge sugestions & maybe each month whoever gets the inclination to organise one picks what one they fancy & runs it?

the updated list of forum songwriting challenges
valentines day ...now running ...entries wanted!!

short song contest ..all songs must be under 1min 30 secs

unlpugged song/ naked song....vocal & just guitar/piano only

forum cover song ..........pick a song someones posted on the forum & do your own version

Eurovision song contest song

Euro 2011 football contest song

summer song

olympics song

funny song ... yeah what about  a comedy song?

halloween song ...spooky !

a collabaration song ...lyricists & musicians pair up to do a song together

christmas song 2012

Thanks for putting all of the idea's in one post Tina. My partners name is Tina and she is always trying to nag and boss

me around, it's a female thing :p We fella's need it so don't hesitate to be bossy lol

I would be happy to have a go at pretty much all the comps. I might not logistically be able to but I'll try.

I like the Idea of working with someone else on something. I already know who I would want to have a go at working with

if you get to choose?

Seeing as I keep suggesting the Olympic anthemy type thing. I will set that up very soon. Leave that one to me

sounds exciting! hope I get the time to do em all, at least I'll try. teaming up for some of the challenges sounds interesting. we definitely should give this a go.
