I make that 23 entrants - see below in alphabetical order - I have tried to make sure all correct, but please do let me know if anyone missed or any links not right!

Now for voting:
- please listen and vote for your top 3 in order of preference.
- all entrants must vote, but not for themselves! (If you don't vote then penalties will be applied!)
- suggested voting criteria: concept, melody, lyrics, structure, and how well the song fits the bare bones brief and competition rules.

Please send by private message to both "adamfarr" and "PaulAds" by 15 August. Anyone can vote!

Full list here on one handy page: https://app.box.com/s/0ue634c1ptg9xct0eatp9nmmw9mnzsbi

Congrats everyone - great entries and great creativity around the theme!

Wowza...how long will it take to get through all those?   Great entries everyone and good luck!!

Adam, is there a deadline for voting? Im never going to be able to make my mind up!

EDIT- the deadline will be in the thread title then 

[MartynRich]

Cant we pick top 5 please??? This is really difficult...

[delb0y]

Listened and commented on all of these now. I've got it down to a short list of six. Bit more listening and pondering to do over the next week. A (bone) cracking competition!

[tina m]

yes its very difficult ive listened to them all & the problem is there are great songs that dont fit the bare bones theme as well as songs that arent so great but do

[IronKnee]

Got my scores in.....
...gotta say, our 1+1's are in an up hill battle with the full production songs ......I mean, how can we even hope to compete with such stellar recordings   !!
Some mighty fine songs in there!

I'm working on my votes...tallying, tallying, tallying...and I think I'm doing a pretty good job of focusing on the words, melody, and prosody and trying really hard to disregard the production. 

[pompeyjazz]

Very, very tricky. I'm trying very hard to evaluate the songs, not the production 

[adamfarr]

I'm away but can see the votes trickling in! Still lots of time left to listen and vote! Typical of this forum to see lots of thought going into the process... Keep going everyone.

[CaliaMoko]

My vote is in!

[delb0y]

My votes are in. I've 100% definitely and without a doubt picked the best three in the right order  Be interesting to see if anyone else gets the answer right, too...

[nooms]

sorted !
just returned from the polling station

[igg]

Votes are in.....!!!

[PaulAds]

Votes are steadily coming in...it looks like it's shaping up to be a very close run thing 

Can those who've entered please make sure they have a listen to all the other entries and leave a comment on the individual song threads if at all possible...

And don't forget...anyone can vote.

Thanks!

[Paulski]

still have 6 to listen to - where does the time go?
