ST20.4 Album, Voting Info and Bonus Round Info

 Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Listening Party last night! The Final Round album can now be streamed or downloaded on Bandcamp or embedded below.

Final Round Voting

The winner of the Final Round becomes the SpinTunes 20 Champion. In this round, votes are cast by the SpinTunes 20 contestants. (Judges' rankings will be used as a tiebreaker if necessary.) With the exception of the four finalists themselves, who do not vote, every act who submitted a competing song in Round 1 is eligible to vote for the Champion. If you submitted as a member of a band, the band as a whole gets one vote; you'll have to decide amongst yourselves how to cast it.

SpinTunes 20 contestants, click here to cast your Final Round vote.

The above link will take you to a Google Form. Rank the songs 1-4, with 1 indicating your favorite song in the round. Please use the name and email address you have been submitting under, so that I can ensure all votes are valid. (Votes will be anonymized when the results are posted.)

The deadline for voting is Sunday, May 7 at 11:59 pm EDT. Late votes will not be counted.

The name of the SpinTunes 20 Champion will be revealed at the Bonus Round Listening Party, Monday May 8 at 9 pm EDT.

Bonus Round

While you are mulling over your Final Round votes, you are also encouraged to record and submit one or more cover versions of any songs from any round of SpinTunes 20. Between competing entries and shadows, that's 115 songs to choose from!

The cover songs will be played at the Bonus Round Listening Party and included on a Bandcamp album. Collaboration between contestants is encouraged, and the goal is to have fun and celebrate the great music that has come out of this tournament. The Bonus Round is non-competitive and judges will not review the entries.

The official deadline for Bonus Round entries is the same as the Final Round voting deadline - Sunday May 7 at 11:59 pm EDT. However, since it's not a competitive round, I'm less strict about that deadline; just like shadow entries, I'll take them when I get them!

Any questions about Final Round voting or Bonus Round submission are welcome at SpinTunesContest@gmail.com.
