bloody ell, all that small prints a bit serious eh!

a big shout to all involved in making this happen, top guys

are we gonna get to here all the entries at some point after the comp?

[RDR]

We will be posting up the entries after the closing date for people to hear.

As for the rules, yes its small print, but it was agreed with mark and as the competition represents the possibility of a release we thought it was best to clearly define what it all meant rather than leave it to chance.

the rules are fair and not restrictive.

:cheese:

[RDR]

Change to competition.

The deadline has now been extended to the 1st June and the Judging by the 15th of June

this is due to a VERY low turnout in entrants.

Entries may also be emailled to

chris@r3tox.co.uk

Get working!

just a slight change to the prizes - the "damaged trax" prixe will be limited to digi release due to a change in the label's situation but as a jesture i will also take another track from the winner of this prize to go with the original track. sorry if this is a "2nd best" but unfortunatly there is nothing i can do to change it.
