Other Sites With Sample Contests?

Post by alphacat » Tue Apr 02, 2013 6:27 pm

Question: what other sites (forum or otherwise) have regular samplepack contests? Are there any sites with subforums that are nothing but?

I'm not looking for remix contests per se, mind you (although I'm not excluding them either,) just looking for more of these or along these general lines. Variations on this theme (plug contest, app contest, stuff like the Applied Minimalism comp, etc.) are germane too.

They host a sample competition at http://www.reddit.com/r/edmproduction/. We're also trying doing a musical cadavre exquis on the IRC channel, might be cool.

You two are truly jinklminz (gentlemen as said by Popeye.) :Q:

Would love to find more of these. Nothing has helped me progress like this format; before I entered comps, I couldn't finish a tune to save my life.

Any others are welcome too, especially if they're not solely genre-driven...
