The deadline for entries has passed and we are working on bringing you all 97 entries (you read that right, there are 97 entries!)... the voting page will be online sometime on Monday 24th May!
THE PRIZE
The winning remix, as chosen by Andy Bell and Mute Records, will be included
on a forthcoming Andy Bell commercial release. That winner and the creators
of the other five shortlisted remixes will also each receive framed lyrics
to 'Say What You Want' handwritten by Andy alongside a personal
message from him.
HOW IT WORKS
All the remixes submitted to the competition will be streamed on this
website and the six favourites - as voted for by visitors to the site
- will be presented to Andy who, with Mute Records, will choose the winning
remix which will be given the ultimate accolade of appearing on a future
official Andy Bell release.
HOW TO ENTER
To enter all you need to do is to download
all the necessary elements and then reassemble them in a new and exciting
way (all genres of music are welcome). Once your remix is complete (the
file size must not exceed 10MB by the way) you will need to upload
it for us so that we can stream it on the voting page.
THE TIMEFRAME
All entries will need to be uploaded by 5pm (UK) on May 21st 2010. Voting
by visitors to this website will begin on May 24th 2010 and will continue
until June 4th 2010 at which point the six remixes with the most votes
will be sent to Andy and Mute Records who will choose the overall winner.
