*** WHO CAN ENTER ***
Anyone in the world can enter. I will pay shipping of up to $75 (USD) to get the Ocean Machine to the winner. Any excess shipping cost will be paid for by the winner.
*** OFFICIAL ENTRY RULES ***
1) SUBSCRIBE to the Chords of Orion YouTube Channel
2) Create a video of an "Ambient Guitar Meditation" (you define it).
3) Video can be of you performing, a pleasant background movie, or a static image. The music is the main thing, so we don't need moving pictures!
4) You must use a guitar, baritone or bass. A small ensemble is OK, however, a full band is likely to drift from the intent of a meditational piece of music. Keep it Ambient!
5) Upload your video to YouTube with "Chords of Orion Ambient Guitar Contest" in the title. Existing videos can be submitted as long they were posted to YouTube on or after January 1, 2017. One entry per YouTube channel (and no fair entering from multiple channels!).
6) Email your video's YouTube link to info@chordsoforion.com with "Ambient Guitar Competition" as the subject. I will then add it to a public contest playlist so all can enjoy! Also, I would like to add your email to the Chords of Orion email list. If you do not want to be added, just let me know in your email.
7) Contest closes 1:59PM EDT on August 2, 2017. Winner will be announced on August 9, 2017.
8) All entries will be judged on creativity, originality and AMBIENCE. One winner will be selected from the entries by Bill Vencil and a panel of trusted musical colleagues.
9) Entries which do not comply with the YouTube community guidelines are ineligible to win the prize (https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/policies/#community-guidelines).
10) When you send me the link to your video, I'll add the email to the Chords of Orion mailing list. If you do not want to be on the list, let me know in the email and I'll keep you off the list.
