Festive 2019 Send-off Contest! Results!

(1/10) > >>

Paulski:
After hearing that hundreds of forum members are interested in entering  (well, actually only a few have expressed that  :D) I have the huge honour of announcing this new holiday song contest. My co-host @adamfarr and I will be herding the proverbial cats according to the following rules:

"The Rules"

Submissions:
The theme is "Songs for Christmas, New Year's Eve, or both".
Open to all current forum members no matter how many posts etc.
A new song please.
Entries to be submitted by end of the day 1st 22nd December 2019.
You can have one solo entry and one colab. Or two colabs instead.
Please add your name to this thread if you're in.
Please put Lyrics, WIP and Finished Songs into the relevant thread on the forum, as usual, not here! For voting we'll gather them all together here.
Mark entries with #festivecomp for easy searching.
Your competition song won't count towards the one-song-per-two-weeks rule, but also won't be eligible for song of the month.

Voting:
Anyone can vote.
All entrants must vote, but not for themselves or a song they collaborated on.
Vote for your top 3 in order of preference, by PM to both the co-hosts.
3pts for 1st, 2pts for 2nd, 1pt for 3rd. As you can't vote for a song you colaborated on, colabs get an extra 2 points headstart (4 for 3 or more person colabs). Minus 10pts for sleighbells (just kidding).
Voting closes end of day 5th January 2020.

Any questions or problems are to be reported to Adam  ::). If you have any compliments or praise about how the contest is being run, you can report that to me  :D

CaliaMoko:
I'm in. Hopefully, with a collaborator who is good at production, but if not, I'll do something simple. But weird. Definitely weird.

Andreas:
I'm in! :)

adamfarr:
How's everyone doing with this? Time moving on (as it has a relentless habit of doing!)
