Mike from Artist Services talks a little about one of the more interesting challenges this year, Fight The Power!
Posted by Broadjam on May 16, 2012 in Broadjam Blog, The 7th Can
Every year, I get amazed by the quality of the songs entered into our 6-Pack and this year is no exception. The songwriting challenges this year are more interesting than ever and we’ve got hundreds of song entries that we’ve been listening to since opening day in March.
Now it’s your turn to listen to these songs and get the reviewing process going. It’s your ears and opinions that determine who makes it on the 6-Pack Leaderboard. The winner of 2012 6-Pack will join Liz Miller, Margaret McClure, Stein Thor, Starburst Music and Dulcie Taylor as champions. So we invite you to listen to and review some of the best music on the web and help pick the next winner.
Thanks for your help,
Roy
PS – Remember, there is still plenty of time to enter your songs. Submissions don’t close until later this year.

Mike from Artist Services goes over Challenge 1 of our 6-Pack Songwriting Competition!
Enter here right now, submissions are half-price until April 30th!
Posted by Broadjam on Mar 29, 2012 in Broadjam Blog, The 7th Can
Heck, Darn,
I was hoping to be the first one entering
the 7th can.
At first the 6 cans looked a bit disapointing. But having
looked at it more clearly I think each can has something
that can be worked with.
For me, instrumentals only, so it’s highly likely (like
Jeff Harper last year) I won’t make it into the steinberg finals,
but hey who cares!
Though it could be possible that you may hear some stuff of mine
in a collab with others ( PGO ) that does have vocals….
(always better to let someone else do the singing)
Hopefully we’ll have a good and honost run.
A note to all,
please review the entrants while keeping the description of the can in mind and don’t instantly downvote an instrumental piece
just because your of opinion that an instrumental piece is not a song!
The description states “song” cause that’s the most general way
to describe an entry on the contrary to: Piece, work, arrangement, production etc.
Also note that BJ focusses on Tv, Film, advertising, coversongs, record and unique. (and not top 40!)
therefor If a song would do really good in a top 40 listing,
it doesn’t mean that it should be rated higher than a very good
instrumental piece that one would hear in a Film, Commercial, Tv show etc.
Well that’s all I have to say (for now)
Wish everyone all the best and good luck in this years sixpack competition. (we can expect again one hell of an elevator ride)
Regards
Floris
Tea?
No no no…
You should have a 6 pack next to you as you do these videos.
Every video you do… You should be opening the next beer.
By the explanation of video 6… Roy should be picking you up off of the couch saying “Come on buddy, let me call you a cab.”
Just saying.

It’s time…
It’s our biggest contest of the year and how we’re launching it early in 2012! That’s right, the most challenging songwriting competition on the web is now live with six brand new challenges for you to sink your songsmithing teeth into!
Check out the new challenges for this year’s 6-Pack!
Even better, the time to get writing is now. All entries are 50% off until April 30th!

Going to try a different approach this year – one submission in each category – it’s cheaper than going to Vegas.
Love this competition, love the challenges, love hearing all of the great music so many brilliant artists come up with year after year.
Provided you guys do these two things… i’ll promote the heck out of it too.
1. No reviews until all submissions are final.
2. No leaderboards until all reviews are final.
Otherwise… Wish everyone who competes the best of luck this year, and really look forward to hearing all of the awesome music the artists come up with for these great challenges.
Cheers:

Cool guys! Like the cans this year. Just got the email. The sixth can in the email is a duplicate title of the fifth can in the email. So I clicked on it to see what it was supposed to be named. Like the No Repeat title and what the can represents.
Roy talks to the winner of this year’s 6-Pack Songwriting Competition Steinberg Finals – Dulcie Taylor!
Congrats to Ben Sands for taking second place and Vince Constantino for taking third.
Thanks to everyone who entered the Six-Pack this year. We’ll be contacting all the winners of the cans as well as all the contestants in the Steinberg Finals, to make sure everyone gets their prizes!

Congrats to Dulcie… great stuff… Runner up and third place not too shabby either…congrats to all who entered
TT
Vince
The scoring songs in the top 20 were:
Can 1—-”Not Finished Loving You’ was # 7
Can 3—– “Holiday Time” was # 2
Can 4—– “Following Lincoln” was # 10
Can 5—- “More Sax on My Mind” was # 14
Can 2—– “Memories Of You” was # 20
Can 4—– “LaSalle St” was # 22
Glad you posted, Steve. It was very cool to sample the sheer variety of styles you have. “Back to LAX” was cool, but “Memories of You” is my fave! Look forward to hearing the scoring songs too.

Congrats to Dulcie, Vince and Ben! You all have such amazing music and it was a privilage listening to it all. 
Dulcie,
Congrats! Like everyone is saying, now comes the hard part…
intalling the gear… 
good luck with that.
Ian:
“Though I really think all three of you are GREAT artists and composers, My vote this year goes to Ben.”
Where can you find the insensitivity/negativity in this message? I think the only person that sees any Insensitivity/negativity in this message is you… YOU made this message become
Insensitive/negative by pointing out what’s not there.
It only states my taste (wich can’t be discussed) though I can appreciate Country and Jazz
and many of the best artists in the world can be found in these genres, I do Prefer other styles over the latter.
(and that’s the end of it)
Roy,
Thanks for all your hard work this year and changing things on the site, to make things easier for all of us! Cheers!
My advice to all the winners who need help installing all of that cool gear would be to “buy some XLR cables from Sweatwater and then rape their awesome customer support service for hints on how to hook it all up.” lol
Those guys are always looking for a new challenge to overcome. They send you candy with your gear too:) So its a real win win.
….
Roy:

Hey Peter,
Thanks for the clarification I now understand what you mean.
I’m in….
@Floris: we will share two separate links each time we post. one of our personal works and a favorite from another member. the string appears in the top of the Broadjam player. hope that clears it up somewhat.
@Nils: you make number eight. . .
We need your help in voting!
Posted by Broadjam on Dec 1, 2011 in Broadjam Blog, The 7th Can
ah, Ms. Penny, I can not tell a lie. Pinocchio shared that line with me. couldn’t resist sharing the truism. . .
Peter, Love is a many splintered thing LOL! So many angles on that L theme for sure!
He Toby,
That’s a great Idea!
A friend of mine won the Transatlantyk
contest, same idea! (he’s also Dutch and only +- 28 years old)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O87ijP-WPY
give us a scene from a movie ( animation or normal)
and have us write the score for it!
I mean, we are mostly aiming at tv and film.

Results will be up starting in June, when the leader board starts going live!
*boing, boing, boing* OK, this is the first time we’ve tried this contest… how long before results will start to show up on the leaderboards? Sorry to be so demanding, but, well, this is exciting! Can’t wait to see what lies in store!
