I started one. But it's pretty crappy so far. You have to have a fine balance between radio-play and experimental in order for it to be original, yet not be too out there for them to dismiss it.
I predict there will be tons of submissions.

Huh, that's strange. Maybe they'd legally have to release a version with french vocals to legally have the contest in quebec. That's probably not it, but I'm sure it's something stupid like that.
I work in quebec... hope I'm still qualified.

so in the rule it says this
Remix Guidelines:
a) Samples or interpolations are prohibited. Any remix containing samples or interpolations will be disqualified
so what does that mean you cant change the samples or add in any new ones? lame lame lame whats the use of having a remix contest if you cant make some thing new with it...

Yeah, what does that mean? Samples or interpolations?
I assume samples means pieces of music that is not your own or part of the remix tracks. But interpolations?
They say on the front page "rebuild, remix or cover" . So you can add your own parts to it I'm pretty sure.

no I think quebec should roll some tanks in to the rest of canada and stop with the BS of treating french as a second language... there are as many french speakers in canada as there are anglo speakers... sorry you opened a can of worms on this one Im a quebecer born and bread... In only in ontario as there are no good it type of jobs in quebec...

I think you cant add in any other new samples or change them meaning resample them or repitch them basically they want a cover version of the song... not a remix or at least the dolt who wrote the song has no idea what a remix is and is afraid of any one fucking with his masterpeice but then why do a remix contest just call it a cover version contest ;)

I'll personally write a letter to my member of parliament if you guys bring in the tanks. Watch it.
I think samples and interpolations means stuff that isn't your own. Samples - sampling a song that's not yours, interpolations - putting the song to the tune of a song that's not yours. If they say you can do "covers" then you can obviously add your own stuff.

Francophones are 22.9% of the population.
But if they rolled tanks into us and forced us to eat their awesome poutine, I'd totally support that.
Thanks for the link - I'm totally gonna interpolate that shit!

I asked the fine folks at Arts and Crafts about the interpolations stipulation, this is what they had to say:
What we mean by interpolations is that you can’t add samples from other people’s music (that you do not have the publishing rights to) into the remix. You can add original recorded material – but it must be your own creation.
>From the rules:
“Modifying, enhancing or altering a third party’s pre-existing work does not qualify as entrant’s original creation...”
So transposing is okay, as is adding your own sounds. My guess is that the lawyer they use wasn't really up on the terminology associated with the practical requirements of sampling. Like they say, one man's interpolation is another man's transposition.
