We have a unique style of music for the On Board Games podcast, it would be great to see if any of our listeners have thoughts or ideas about helping us refine our musical identity. Scott gave us our original music, and a friend of Erik’s provided some for the episodes Erik edited as well, but as time marches on it is time for a change. In the long run wee are looking for an introduction music for the intro, the outro, for each of our segments, and as a short buffer for each of the hosts to lead into their reviews.

For our first contest we'd like to focus on the tiny personal review buffers. All of the music on the show will probably change before the end of our contests, so there will be plenty of opportunities for listeners to contribute.(The next contest will be for the main segment buffers, intro, and outro, music.)

I’d like for each of our reviewers to have a short 2-7 second blast of music before their reviews. So we’d need one for Scott, Erik, Giles, Ben, myself, and another for whatever guest reviewer sends us a review.

Review Buffers
(Please keep between 5 & 12 seconds.)
* Donald - Something piratey, nautical, Celtic, or renfair would probably be good.
* Scott
* Erik
* Giles
* Ben
* Guest

Winners for this one will be decided by the reviewer in question, and all of the On Board Games contributors will vote on the extra clip for future guest reviewers.

Prizes
Giles has wrangled some great sponsors for this contest! The prizes from Out of the Box, and Second Rat Games are on hand. Z-Man Games, Gorrila Games, and Rio Grande Games should be sending in some cool prizes as well.

The best overall entry for each person's review buffer will receive a prize. Until we know what the other companies send in I can't say what the final prize profile will be, but:
* The best overall will get a choice of either of Second Rat Games two printed products (and complete PDF files), and a product from one of the other contest sponsors.
* The winner for each person's review buffer will get one download of a Second Rat Games product, and maybe something else.

Restrictions
* Submissions from outside the USA are only eligible for the Second Rat Games PDF products
* On Board Game contributors are not eligible
* You must have created the music, or at least own the rights to it, for it to be a valid entry

Deadline
* April 30th
