Since joining YSC and becoming Forum Ambassador to the contest I've learned a lot along the way.
Here is my best way to explain what the Your Sound Contest is truly all about.
While it may have the word "Contest" in the name, YSC is not meant to be taken too competitively. This is not a contest where you should obsess over your results or let them get you down at all. It's not a place for you to obsess about finding the "right song" that everyone will give their 12 points to you, or worrying about voting deadlines and disqualifications.
It's about being yourself and being able to send whatever songs you truly love with no limitations.
It's about being part, part of a small but close-knit music community with folk of all ages - Many YSC players are actually family or friends in real life!
It's about having fun and just letting the results merely be a side quest to sharing and enjoying music - because thats what we are all really here for.
Think of YSC as a laid back more personal version of a regular song contest, one where some players will even gather together to watch it live!
For any newcomers, we hope to see you take part!

It's not that fun that u don't have a results video or scorewiz link to see people vote.
U just check the wiki page and already see every result...

I think Phil used to make results videos but due to time constraints I don't think he is able to do that anymore... What we have trialled out this edition is to hop in to a WatchTogether room (we've also used this to watch all the songs together) while the results are announced live, starting from the last place up, its not ideal but it was definitely more exciting and suspense building than before and I hope he decides to do it again next edition - It wasn't very well advertised here on the forum but I'll make sure it is for next week! When the players used to vote there was a scorewiz but its not possible now since we switched over to jury voting (it tends to give fairer results as there was some real bloc voting going on) |

And when it's back that the Members Voted you can have Scorewiz too! And the Results Videos when they comes have the Style that only the Top 3 would say and under the Video is than Scorewiz! A Problem is that so a Results Video comes not really good and only so 5 or 7 Peoples have watch it and than is the problem when you make every week a results video after a time it's stress you than you get the Feel you must do it! |

Than when you be Last and would say it as 1st! Is that not more exciting |
