Recordings and Lyrics
Each team will record its completed songs by the deadline shown above. Upload them to this web site, and submit the link for record-keeping purposes. You won’t be judged on the quality of the recording! However, please make sure it is as clear as possible, and no longer than 7 minutes.
Song Restrictions
We don’t want to limit your creativity! However, due to time constraints, songs will need to be about 3 minutes long, and no longer than 7 minutes. Other than that, the only restriction is performability - as long as you can be engaging while you perform your song, anything is fine!
