Edit: There's a WRO skype chat (skype:?chat&blob=c9_GxEqoHJfCwcgXqsGt-HgnGRTp_RPG1Gd61GoOoR45w1D0xr-DcfMZLgPVT8u9-leIhVThnV3T_0Hf6P19kN0L19lGsgWx0vmGYMq3KMLcfeWoCP8JvaTV41zb)
TL;DR of below
Explanation
Each month, entrants send in a short rap over a given beat (supplied by a different producer each round), based on the round's theme. People will then upvote the raps they like. Winners receive small prizes like beats, steam games, merch, etc. supplied by Fractured Frequencies Radio (thanks guys ^_^)
It's pretty straightforward, really...
Rules/Boundaries
- The following are Rules, and will not be altered for any entry:
- All entries should be in English, since most Bronies are monolingual, English speakers.
- Time limit: 30 seconds to 3 minutes. This is to ensure that both people put a decent effort into their track (If you just send an audio clip of yourself shouting "First!", you'll be ignored), and to ensure that people don't go on crazy, 10-man collabs that go for 26 minutes or something ridiculous.
- Collaborations with other rappers are permitted, but limit one entry per person per round. If you are part of a collab, that is your one entry.
- The following are Boundaries, and will be treated on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Winter Rap Off & Fractured Frequencies teams:
- Make sure your track is related to Friendship is Magic in some manner
- If you're one to use foul language, use it to actually enhance the track, as auxillary cursing will make you look like you're incompetent and a tryhard. Remember, this is a rap contest, similar in nature to ToastBeard, not "Epic Rap Battles of History", so don't use that liberty to be abusive.
- Singing parts and dialogue are permitted, so as long as they enhance the rap, and don't take over the focus of the track.
Dates
As soon as the time ticks over to the next month:
- Past Round's Voting ends
- Current Round's Voting begins
- Current Round's Submission ends
- Next Round's Submission begins
This means that there's always a round to enter, and a round to vote on at any one time. To make it easier, here's a diagram:
(edit: yes, I know April has 30 days, but I forgot that at the time I made this image.)
What's the current theme?
Check WRO's Twitter feed here to see what the latest theme is.
So how do I enter/where are this round's tracks/how do I vote?
- Submissions should be uploaded to soundcloud/EQbeats/Youtube (no Mediafore, Dropbox or similar sites), and the link supplied in this form
- Entries are compiled into a Youtube video each month for your convenience.
- You can vote here for the previous round's entries.
PASS ON THE WORD, SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOUR RAP, THEY CAN VOTE FOR YOU, AND WE CAN ALL MAKE REFERENCES "BECOMING POPULAR" AND NONCHALANTLY LAUGH AT OUR OWN CLEVERNESS. CANTERLOCK IS BEST LOCK!
