Nur Ein XVIII
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2023 4:11 pm
Welcome to Nur Ein #18!
The Nur Ein is an eight-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 judging panel 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!
Nur Ein XVIII will begin on Monday, May 22nd with Round Zero. Round Zero is the way you enter the competition. The participants will have until May 28nd at 11:59PM (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 few days to listen to the songs. They will rank the songs from best to worst. If there are more than 25 entries into Round zero, the judges will eliminate the lowest ranked competitors until we reach 25.
