FlashDen Music Competition Phase One – Assets
// August 6th, 2009 // Flash
On FlashDen, there’s a category with only two files and they’re getting pretty lonely. It’s the music site templates category, and it’s about time they were joined by some new friends. That’s why we’re running a two part competition to help that category grow. Part one will be to get music-related assets for authors to use. Part two will be to build a music template.
One of the biggest reasons I think the music templates category is so small is that you, the authors, don’t have any music-related assets. A music template needs band pics, music videos, and most importantly, music. Also, as great as the assets we currently have are, it’s time for some new ones. That’s why phase one of this competition is to expand the asset library.
First, let’s define what a “music template” could be. It could be a template for an individual band, a music store, a dance club, a recording studio – anything related to music. Here are some great examples of music related websites:
emi.fr
dbrecordings.com
bobschneidermusic.com

The Competition
Phase one of this competition is simple; create an image, video, or audio asset that would fit well in a music template. Here are some great examples of what would be great:
Images:
Headphones
Rock Concert
Guitar
Video:
Rock Show
Music Video
Record Yourself
Audio:
Just about anything in the music section of AudioJungle would work. It would be great to get submissions from all different genres of music, from classical to hard rock.
Prizes
There’ll be three winners. One for the video asset, one for the image, and one for audio. Each winner will receive a shiny new “has won a competition badge,” and $333 in cold, hard cash. There’s no limit as to how many times you can win. If you provide the best image, video, and audio asset, you’ll win all $999.
Guidelines
1. Make sure it’s music related.
2. Make sure you’ve got a release for any recognizable human face, location, or product.
3. Images must be submitted in .jpg or .png format.
4. Audio must be submitted in .mp3 format.
5. Video must be submitted in .flv format.
6. Make it awesome! 
How Do I Submit my Asset?
Just post your asset or a link to your asset in this forum thread.
Usage of Your Submission
By submitting an asset, you’re giving the rights of that asset to Envato. All submissions (not just winners) will be available to Envato authors to use in their files. Assets submitted may not be upload for sale on any Envato marketplace or distributed in any way.
Who is Eligible
Unless you’re an Envato staff member, you are more than welcome to enter. In fact, please do! I’m guessing that authors from VideoHive, GraphicRiver, and AudioJungle are really going to enjoy this one.
