So not long now - still time to post. I am hoping to get a shortlist together tomorrow(ish!)

All finished songs posted in October by those with 100 or more posts are up for considerstion.

So if you have 100 posts and not posted a song, you know what to do.

If you have a song but only 98 posts you also know what to do ;-) !

If you have a song and make the 99 extra posts you need today, see me after school....

Either way, get involved and get your vote in (not until I say though as it won't count and you may still be charged)*

*UK joke. There is no charge. Except for Paulski ...

Sorry for asking but I'm not clear about this. Does this mean all songs that meet the above criteria are automatically submitted or do we have to contact you?

Cheers

Hi Mo - nothing for you to do - I will locate all the eligible entries. As we have it currently, my job is to choose a shortlist of 5 for voting. But I will make sure all are considered.

Good luck everyone!

It's a close one - I have listened thoroughly and have a top 6, but can't quite decide on a top 5 (or whether to give up and go with 6!).

As criteria am using (in no particular order) lyrics, melody and "indefinable extra". Am trying - so far as humanly possible - to ignore production and performance...

A very diverse and interesting field!

More soon! (with more exclamation marks!)
