Nur Ein XII
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2017 6:26 am
Nur Ein is supposed to start in Spring. NYC is gonna be hit with a blizzard this week. So much for Spring. Hey we can still start Nur Ein!
Welcome to Nur Ein XII!
The Nur Ein is a 8 round song competition. In each round, the participants are given a song title and a mandatory challenge and are given a week in which to finish that song. Then this year's group of Nur Ein Judges (TBA) will listen to the songs and rate them from best to worst. Each round whittles down the field until we are left with only 1 competitor. Creativity x Skill x Time Management = Nur Ein!
This year's Nur Ein will start on Monday, April 10th with Round Zero. Round Zero is open to all who wish to take on the Nur Ein. The participants will have until Monday April 17th at 12:01AM (Eastern Daylight Time) to create a song from the title and complete the challenge. When a competitor completes a song, it is to be e-mailed to nurein.sidefight which is a gmail address. The songs will then be posted at the Nur Ein website (http://nurein.songlander.com) and the next title and challenge will be announced at the same time. The Judges will have the next two days to listen to the songs and make their decisions and then the judges will cut down the field to 25 with an announcement at some point on the evening of the 18th.
Here's the schedule:
(Obviously, this is subject to change if something catastrophic happens, or if we don't get 25 bands in Round 0)
Round 0:
April 10-16
Judging April 17-18
<X> bands, <X-25> eliminations
Round 1:

Round 3:

Final Round:
May 29-June 4
Voting June 5-6
2 bands, 1 elimination
The final round is a battle between the two remaining competitors with the votes of the eliminated competitors and the Nur Ein Jury will choosing the winner (one vote per "act," whether you're a band or a solo competitor; if you're a duo, trio, quartet, quintet, or more, you'll need to discuss internally how to allocate that one vote).
The game is on. Nur Ein!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'll be better about managing the Nur Ein Facebook this year. I think I've got a better grasp on the whole social media thing. So, it will be a place where you can frequently check to get updates.
Now is the time for people to start getting prepared. The website logistics need to get figured out. And the judges need to get chosen. I will not be judging this year. No, this is not like the Jon Eric year where I need to take a break. This one’s different.
I'm in.
Nur Ein!
