The AIM Contest 2019 Submissions thread is now up, which means the contest is officially OPEN and you can start working on your entries! There's still a couple of rough patches to iron out, but for the most part, we are ready to accept entries. You have until June 17; good luck!

You can find the submissions thread here!

The sixth annual Art-Inspired Music Contest is coming up fast. I'm sorry for the late notice. Things are a little different this time around, as, well...I'm the organizer of the compo this year.

You probably don't know me. Or maybe you do...I think the only Newgrounds thing I've really done was briefly judge NGUAC back in 2018, otherwise, I've mostly been a lurker on here. I hope you're all ready to create some amazing pieces of music inspired by art from Newgrounds' Art Portal! If that doesn't get you hyped, how about refreshing your memory with last year's winners, found here?

This year, the contest officially starts on April 12 and submissions will be accepted up until June 17.

(I'm still looking for judges, so if you'd like to be an AIM judge or know someone who'd make a good AIM judge, please leave a comment or message me. I'm looking for 3-5 judges, ideally, who are available from the end of the submissions period up until the first week of July (actual date of results to be determined).)

Update: I think we're good on judges now. Thanks to everyone who offered! If something comes up last minute, I'll let you all know.

Be on the lookout for the submission and discussion thread on April 12! Hope to see many of you then. I've been a participant of many music compos, but never organized one before, so this is going to be interesting.

Update: the submissions thread is now up!
