AIM Contest 2019 starts April 12!

Posted by Random-storykeeper - April 3rd, 2019


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!

Cool news. I'll make sure to look for some new art. I love this comp :)

Edit: good luck collecting judges. I'll lend myself if I fail to create musics.

Awesome, yeah, judging positions are still totally open right now. I'm afraid I might not get any at this rate; I'll have to keep looking around.

Oh man... it has been a while (you still remember me, right?)
I hope to participate in AIM when it starts. :D
I meant to do it last year, but I figured I wasn't ready.

Yo JK, long time no see! Yeah I totally remember you. Hope to see you enter the compo. ;)

Me too! I wanna participate this contest!

@Random-storykeeper

Oh heck, I'll judge. There's always great stuff in this comp and I'm tired of losing :)

Awesome! I'll send you a message with more info about judging soon.

Question: Since the contest starts April 12, do we wait until then to start making the music, or is that the first date submissions will be allowed? I've never participated in a contest before, and am unsure of the rules.

April 12 is the day you can start making music for the contest. I realize there's not really a way to verify that absolutely well, but...yeah, ideally, you're supposed to work on your compositions within the submissions window. It might be worth looking at the art portal now to consider which pieces of art you'd be interested in making your inspiration. You can pick the art beforehand, but don't start working on the music until the submissions thread is posted.

I'd judge. I'm down! :)

Usually I'd take part, but this time, I'm gonna ask to judge. It's up to you! :)

Take care!

That's what I like to hear! :D

Great! Can't wait to be in this again :)

Give me a shout if you need more judges or help with anything else :)

Ooh I think I can use one more judge. Are you interested?

This will probably be my first competition I enter, just so long as I get on top of my deadlines!

@Ectisity @Random-storykeeper Sure, I'm in :)

I'm gonna try my best this time, NO! BETTER! Good luck everyone!

Hi! Can someone tell me where I can find the rules on how this contest works? Appreciate it!

The rules will be posted in the submissions thread, hopefully at some time tomorrow morning PST (~9 hours from now). I’ll drop a link in this news post and the link on the front page will change to the submissions thread once the contest begins.

This is exciting, definitely have a piece of art in mind. Good luck to yall
