[ Closed ] PIANOTEQ VIDEO CONTEST 2018 - INSTRUCTIONS

Hello Niclas,
excuse me but I think 15 entries is too restrictive, the other years we have between 30 to 40 entries and it seems the votes are ok. You are rigth for the last year, 66 is too much but 15 too elitiste.

I think the idea of a shortlist is good, but will we still get a chance to listen to all the entries ourselves before the shortlisting happens? I think we'd all be disappointed if that was not the case, as some of us will put a lot of work into preparing our entries.

Sure but you know, for tens of century the humanity think the earth is flat, time is nothing for the approvment of a bad idea.

Yes, that 'final 15' rule was bound to be controversial, but I can understand the reasons for it. Last year there were a lot of entries that I liked, and I had to be really ruthless in my eliminations. This year, although I may well be disappointed if some of my favourites don't make it through, at least part of the process will have been done for me. You can bet that it won't be easy for the panel to agree on their shortlist, I don't envy them!

I believe there could be categories for voting, like given more than one vote according different aspects to judge.

Edition : Judge if the video it's well presented, edited, if have some nice effects.

Sound quality: Judge if the sound was well recorded, in case recorded live or in case of direct audio file from pianoteq.

Piano performance : Judge if the piano performance it's well done, especially for classic.

Creativity : Judge how inovative the idea of the video was.

Presantation and Narration : Judege if the video it's well presented and showing pianoteq features in one way, like direct, or in another (inderect).

Marketing appeal : Judge if the video hows pianoteq with a nice appeal to public, giving that feel of : "Woou, it looks and sounds nice, I'm interesting to try otr buy it."
