Welcome to the 120th Special Edition of Retro WWW Song Contest in Spain!
I have made a little update to the rules. It seems to be a tradition to do so around the new year/new decade.
Edition #120 is officially starting next year but since it's a Special Edition and given the theme I have selected, we need a little more time.
Might as well make use of the Christmas/New Year break.
I have decided to give a nod to one of the earlier WWWSC Special Edition themes but with a twist.
The theme is
PAINTINGS!
1. Every interested player will be able to confirm their participation over the next couple of weeks (while Retro is on break).
2. Every interested participant should look for a painting by (indisputably) a local artist/painter.
I'd appreciate it if you wrote something about the painter as well as the art and why you picked it.
3. You have to write 3-5 keywords connected to the art.
For example: If you have a painting of the Mona Lisa the keywords could be: woman, young, dress, mountains.
4. The player is officially entered in #120 after they have submitted an eligible painting but cannot send an entry before the submissions open.
5. After the confirmations close and all paintings are in, they will be randomly assigned to all the players. You can't get your own painting.
6. When you receive your painting you must find a song that corresponds to the painting. The keywords should be helpful.
7. There must be a clear connection to the painting either in the title of the song or in the artist's name. Vague reasons as to why your entry is connected to the painting will not be accepted. Players are also welcome to disagree with the reasons in submission posts.
Example: Sending an artist because their grandaunt was Lisa is not sufficient.
I hope we can learn more about art around the world this way (as well as our own). It will be very interesting to see what you pick and how it turns out.
Painting submission deadline is on the 2nd of January 2022.
There is no player limit, if there are more than 31 participants there will be semis.
The submissions will open on the 3rd of January 2022.
The submissions will open on the 3rd of January 2022.
