Contest #62

[Cassie]

Description
Back to the world of anime. There are 20 songs, and screenshots of 20 anime series. Match the anime and the songs. However, not all of the anime and the songs have matches.

Submission
Your submission should contain two lists, one list with anime to song, and another list with song to anime:

Song 1 - Picture 6
etc...

Picture 12 - Song 3
etc...

If a song does not match to any of the 20 pictures, then:
Song 1 - None
same goes for the picture list as well.

All I ask for is the match, song and anime titles are completely unnecessary. Each match from each list is worth 1 point, so the total possible is 40 points. The purpose of having two lists is to account for the songs and pictures without matches.

Deadline
The deadline is Wednesday, Feb 27th at 11:59pm PST

Time of submission will not be accounted for, as I'd like for this contest to be relaxing. In the event of a tie for first place, I will make a stand-alone tie breaker.

Links

Links to songs:

Sendspace - http://www.sendspace.com/file/3b39ff

All of the songs are directly from the anime that it matches to. All of the pictures are screenshots directly taken by me.

Auctioning
As you can see, the pictures have cuts and other "effects" that I've made. Divisions are allowed to bid on the full image of each picture. The first division to bid on an image must create a new thread in this section titled "Contest 62 image X auction", replace the X with the number of the image. Any member may bid on behalf of their division. The bidding on a particular image ends 24 hours after the thread is created. I will PM the image to the winning bidder within 24 hours of payment. The starting bid is 5000 vbux, and increments are of a minimum of 1000 vbux.

Auction rules
You are not allowed to edit or delete your posts from any of the auction threads. Doing either will result in an automatic loss of 2 points for your division. Failure to pay for a winning auction will also result in loss of 2 points for your division. Most importantly, payments using illegitimate funds is strictly forbidden. This includes multi-accounting, admins creating vbux, and anything else that is against forum rules. Doing so will result in disqualification of your division. If your payment is under suspicion, it will be up to you to prove to me that it is in fact legitimate.

Handicaps for "Lazy" divisions
If you are one of the "laziest" divisions under the ladder, you will be given all of the auctioned full images free of charge. To use this handicap, your division captain must PM me asking for images that have already completed its auction.

My aim for this contest is to have less objective and hectic googling, and for a more instinctive approach. Also, I wish for it to be relaxing. Finally, I'm rather fond of most of the songs, as they're very pleasant to the ear.

This is it for now. I'm pretty sure that I've forgotten a few things, so please check this post frequently for possible edits.

Enjoy.

Edit: Prizes:
1st Place - 50,000 vbux
2nd Place - 30,000 vbux
3rd Place - 10,000 vbux
Rest that participated - 5,000 vbux.

You're into music... aren't you? >.>

Not to mention anime. :rolleye09.

Well... Here goes. -_-

Edit:

Question and/or complaint: Why post contests when people are doing their exams and are dying from the amount of study + h/w + tests? :/

I'm sure you guys are swamped by all that. :/

[Night Prowler]

Sigh/ Trust you to come out with an anime contest Stupidman :redbiggri .

Actually, I'm currently on "Midterm Break", and I've already taken all my midterms. In other words, there's no better time hehe. Not to mention that the word study doesn't register in my brain. Anywho, there's no need to rush, since speed won't be factored.

And yes, I love anime, and who doesn't like good music?

The picture isn't working for me. Could you possibly upload it to another server? I'm only getting a thin line of the first pictures.

[Barbaroi]

I know this is a bit off topic.. but what happend to contest 61? Is it over? Who won?

I should've saved it as .jpg instead of .png. Give me a bit of time and I'll upload you a new picture.

As for Contest 61, refer to Shin's post in the contest announcement thread.

Edit: I've added a sendspace link for the picture that you can use to download.

[Sky]

Thanks man, much appreciated.

[Sakura]

i'm guessing that all the songs are bgms from the animes? or are they the karaoke versions of opening/endings?

[Edgey]

Once again another contest involving music in some way -_-

[Cassie]

Most of them are bgms. A few of them are instrumental parts of songs with words. I think only 1 of them came from OP/ED. None of them are karaoke versions.

[doobiesnacks]

This only has little to do with the actual contest.. I was just curious as to what editing program you used.. nice fades dude :p

I used WavePad. It's pretty easy to use and the free version is pretty good.

[Gekköu]

Lolololololol..........

Looks like someone has run out of contest ideas. :D

[Cassie]

^^ yes, I'm a boring person, I know :P

Little things like background music can get me excited.

damn. if they were instrumentals to op/ed'ings i'd love you. but since they're not, i must wallow in the hell of bgm/instrumentals that i loathe :p

[Ryohei]

Just a question ....
Should we tell the name of the anime as well? XD

[Rhea]

All I ask for is the match, song and anime titles are completely unnecessary.

Daisuke it's mentioned in the first post that we don't need to name the anime or the song just need to match them up.

Nice contest!

[Cassie]

Actually, in a way, a couple of them are instrumental OP/ED, so don't completely rule them out.

[Guy]

Hoho, another music contests, and this time it's bgm! OK, I'll see what I can do.

[Cassie]

48 hours left until deadline.

[Edgey]

The next contest better not involve music -_-

Congratz to all winners!!! XD

[Cassie]

no music? the sun will never rise again!!

The real truth is that I need you guys to spend at least 1 hour to work on it. Otherwise, it becomes meaningless.

[Miyagi Rikku]

I spent more than an hour... >.> *kicks kohaku* x3

good job to all who participated. :)

[Milan]

The one I did spend much time on suddenly got cancelled >.>
I didn't know a thing of this one and was busy doing other stuff.

[WhyteDragon]

same here! *watches Kohaku fall over from Miyagi's kick* You stumped us good on some of the songs.

It's ok, I kicked her first with my uber boring background music.

A lot of these songs were the most used background music from very popular anime series. It really would've helped to know the anime first, because then you can simply download the OST or even make educated guesses to what song they matched to.

Unfortunately, if you don't know your anime, then you're out of luck. Next contest will probably be as different as it can get.

[WhyteDragon]

I don't hold most of the funds to do the auction bidding. I knew a few but its hard to download at work.

Cool idea though matching to the anime and weeding out the ones with no match.

[♥ Tess]
