Anyone fancy a autumn competition?

I just wondered we had a great turn-out for last years Summer one and the Xmas songs. And I find it interesting challenge having to write to a brief.

So is there any interest is say one for the end of Sept and what ideas for a theme - I guess we could do Autumn itself?

Wait when's Halloween!? Now THAT would be interesting...

I'm up for it.

I like Jess's Hallowe'en idea, that would give us an extra month.

Other ideas:
An anthem for a festival, be it Download, Glastonbury, Cowpat Rally, whatever.
Songs about a place - country/city, etc.
An alternative national anthem.

Damn not long uploaded a song/lyrics with the subject being about autumn, If I knew there was going to be a competition with the subject being about autumn i would have waited until then lol

I do like the idea of a Halloween themed competition sounds good

A Halloween theme sounds like it would be fun

Halloween would be fun but might be a bit narrow, what about supernatural which could include all sort of things I guess?

Hi, I'm with Neil on this, I think supernatural gives a lot more scope for different ideas and variation. Mind you can you have too many songs about bats, pumpkins, ghosts and witches?

But it's like 'Christmas'- the occasion is the same but there are so many different interpretations and perspectives you can look at it with.

I like the hallowe'en idea. You can write about supernatural in that genre if you want..

So is there enough interest for a Halloween supernatural competition? If there's sufficient interest lets do it? From memory we're getting over 20 submissions for last years summer and the Xmas ones..
