We've really dropped the ball when it comes to contests. Let's start it back up again.
There are a lot of themes being posted for individual characters, but no themes for Magi Nation and JEZ. JEZ, if you don't remember, is the acronym for our clans' leaders, Jemini (Fire), Exodus (Water), and Zenith (Earth). They aren't actually royalty, as we have more of a three-part democracy than a triarchy, but they are our leader My challenge for you is two-part. Create a theme for Magi Nation. It is a nation, and as such, it should have a national anthem. Create a theme for our leaders. They are neither technically royalty nor permanent, but they don't seem to be leaving any time soon. They should have something that people play for them on holidays that is about them. You know, like how people play for kings when they make public appearances. These songs should have original tunes and original lyrics. If you don't have a guitar or piano at home (or don't know how to play), there are plenty of free programs to create music. No matter the quality of the program, as long as you can get your tune across, it is good. If you don't think your or your friends' singing voices are any good, we can make it work. If you want to make an instrumental as a theme, I'd rather have one with singing, but we'll see if it works.
The winners of both categories will be the official songs and will get a karma boost if someone who can do that approves.
Although this contest was posted in October, there isn't much October left, so if there aren't enough entries, it will be extended to November.

Make a theme?
I'm hardly good with FL studio or Garage Band...
And asking Harry101 or APaHID of Steam Forums is cheating I reckon, right?
Can I just try and find one?

Oh yeah and since I just realise that some of you actually don't know the people I'm talking about(I forget) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtRMvteFBEkThat is Harrys work. I'll find some of ApaHIDs later. They are both on my dev team

Try mario paint if you want to use that. If it is original and specific to jez/magination it is good. You guys can collaborate with anyone, just make it have to do with this. I'm sorry, I'd like an original song. You can use inspiration and ideas from other songs, but the song itself should be new.

Alright alright*mumble* Does it have to have lyrics, must it be in English, and can I make up a language.
And will I be kicked of a cliff if I use vocaloid or Utau for the vocals...

As far as I know, our characters speak English. I don't think that it would be worth making up an entire new language. It would also be a plus to understand what they're saying. What I'm saying is that if it really works, language isn't any grounds to take it out, but I would suggest English. Well, I would like a human to sing it, but you can definately submit a vocaloid singing it. If it sounds good, we don't have to change it. I'm judging based on... If I understood sheet music, I would judge them. But I need to hear it, so I'm basing it on the tune and lyrics themselves, not the quality of the program, voice, or instrumental skill used.

Sounds interesting! I wouldn't mind giving that a shot.

Also, you should try singing if you haven't already. You might be good at it.

But I probably still stink.

Also remember that Eviljim isn't judging this and has no say in what is good or bad. If it isn't acceptable to our tastes, we'll go over it in my resident VA's voice. If you think you have a better singing voice than Beacandy, you'll go over it when we are touching it up.
