reshare og may 27 :) /desc/ do you guys like the thumbnail [deadline: august 2nd (or the 4th at the absolute latest no exceptions)] this is the opportunity to show off your niche music taste and let those peak yet underrated songs and bands have their moment HUGE thanks to @EndoPlasmic- for this idea and also just being cool :D rules: - niche songs ONLY - either not animated on scratch OR generally just lesser known bands (CHECK BOTTOM FOR HELP WITH THIS!) - if your song is deemed "not niche" enough you won't be eligible to host next Niche Contest but it won't affect your ranking! (the next person down will host) - can be any format of animation judging: - based on 3 things: creativity/uniqueness, animation (like animation skill), and art (how artistic it is :sparkle:) - multiple judges hopefully (so less biased) - winner gets next host song . watch your mouth (the backseat lovers) ----> some good ways to tell if your song is niche (there arent set rules, just if you need help figuring out if a song is "niche") - if it has less than 1-2 million views on youtube - if the band is a one-hit wonder (as in they had one song that blew up but had nothing else get attention) and you're choosing anything OTHER than that hit - also since a lot of the amv community is generally english-speaking, going for a song in a different language (or another language you speak/a language from your home country) might be a cool idea! - if you've never heard someone talk about it before - if it's un-animated on scratch - if the song is not on scratch at all (for example, if you look up "the backseat lovers," the song playing in this project comes up, but "circle of death" doesn't (unless you find the map) remember to have fun and show off your favorite songs!!! thank yall for being the bestest :silly:
