COMPLETED!: Contest XXIV: Heaven or Hell?


Team Battle Time!

Last time, we let the year 2007 scrap it out with 1997 in a vicious battle for mixtaping supremecy. Now it's time to make a very important decision: Are you a SAINT or a SINNER?

The SAINTS Team will try to kill the SINNERS with KINDNESS, while the SINNERS, uh, won't. Feel free to interpret these teams and your role on these teams in the most creative way possible.

Which side will you choose? When you've decided, make a mix to prove to the rest of The Collective which side is superior. Choose wisely, or you might just end up like that Nazi guy who drank from the wrong cup in that one Indy movie...

The fine print: You may only enter one mix for this contest. If you submit a mix for both sides, you will be disqualified and will not be awarded anything.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting:
Mix Contest 24 - Heaven (to be on the SAINTS) or Mix Contest 24 - Hell (to be on the SINNERS) in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Adhere to the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the four-weeks, the person holding the
number one spot for EACH team will take home 1000 points and a super-rad badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze. Every participant for the team with the highest
average mixtape score will earn 100 points and a badge in honor of their efforts.

So, get to it. NOW!

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest XXII: The Alternate Soundtrack


Congratulations to Bea, the first "Contest Contest" Winner. Her idea edged out Derhay's, who's mind-nugget will automatically be re-submitted for the next contest. Her theme should allow for everyone to get quite creative, so hopefully lots of people will step up to the plate.

The idea: Create a new soundtrack to a film of your choice by re-tracking each scene that has music. Bonus Points for musicals.

Here is her original idea:

"...specific scenes where music was used would be re-tracked, and in the description field for every song picked would be the name of the scene in the movie and the song originally used in it, and it would be in chronological order. The Alternate Soundtrack, you know. A real challenge could be to do this with musicals (only) and find songs that could replace the original songs exclusively written for the musical. "

We all go through life changes, evolutions (or devolutions, for that matter) and general shakeups. The overall concept for this contest is to craft a mixtape that represents another phase in your life, be it good or bad.

Hark! A contest doth descend upon ye olde mixtapecollective.org! Rejoice!

Okay, maybe it's not *that* glorious, but we do have a pretty neat contest. Here's the idea: Craft a mix that you would give as a gift.

Better to give, you know. So, in the spirit of gifts and friendships and music and family, compile a mixtape. Or a gifttape, as I have decreed them. Just be sure to let us in on your thought process.

For example: Personally, I would craft a mixtape for my father based to listen to while we play a game of booze chess. I'd make it rockin' because he's in for a drunken beating. I'm not looking for a checkmate, I want him to suffer. I want complete capitulation to a soundtrack of Zappa.

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest XV: Weddings and funerals.


This last year, I've been to a rash of weddings. All my friends (including Corey [yay!]) are getting hitched. Weddings, like funerals, have always interested me. Not because of the fact that they're both big events that impact the life of family and friends, but because they're both one of the rare times that a solid sountrack can make a world of difference in terms of the emotional imprint.

So, here's the task: Make a mix for a wedding and/or a funeral. It could be your wedding, your funeral, a funeral for MJ, a wedding for OJ, whatever -- make your dream mix, but explain why.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 15' in all three keyword fields and activate it. Sans the quotes.

Adhere to the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the three-weeks, the person holding the number one spot will take home 500 points and a super-rad badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze. Every participant will earn 100 points just for playing.

So, get to it. NOW!

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest XIV: ROADTRIP2007!


So, I've been holding out on this theme for a long time. It's a gimme, as far as contests go. The roadtrip is something we've all (hopefully... right?) experienced. Like milk to Oreos, a rock-solid mixtape makes the voyage oh-so-much better. And we all know, it's the trip, not the destination. Unless the destination sells M80s. Then, it's all about the destination.

So, here's the task: make the perfect mix for your dream roadtrip, either real or fantasy. Keep in mind the following questions: where the hell are you going? who the hell is with you? why the hell did you eat so many Fritos? are we there yet?

For those of you that happen to live in the US, this is a perfect opportunity to hone your summer-road-trip skills. Get on it.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 14' in all three keyword fields and activate it. Sans the quotes.

Adhere to the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the three-weeks AND one day, the person holding the number one spot will take home 200 points and the badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze.

Happy mixtaping!

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest XII: THE SEVEN YEAR MIX.


Two words: Team Battle.

Last time, we let the robots duke it out against the monsters in a colossal death clash of the mixtaping titans. Now, it is time for yet another wonderful team battle with an added challenge: THE SEVEN YEAR MIX.

Let's break it down. We have two teams: '97 and '07. Team '97 can only use songs from the 1990-1997 timespan. Likewise, Team '07 can only use from the 2000-2007 timespan. Both sides have their advantages and their weaknesses. TEAM '97 can cherrypick from some indisputable classics, but TEAM '07 has some really fresh shit available.

Which side will you choose? When you've decided, make a mix to prove to the rest of The Collective which era is superior. Choose wisely, or you might just end up like that Nazi guy who drank from the wrong cup in that one Indy movie...

The fine print: You may only enter one mix for this contest. If you submit a mix for both sides, you will be disqualified and will not be awarded anything. Also, if you include songs that fall outside of the time period, your mix will be removed from the contest. I really don't want to have to check every single track on your mixes, but I will --I'm that much of a stickler (see also: nerd).

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting:
Mix Contest 12 - T97 or Mix Contest 12 - T07 in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Adhere to the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the four-weeks, the person holding the
number one spot for EACH team will take home 500 points and a super-rad badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze. Every participant for the team with the highest
average mixtape score will earn 100 points and a badge in honor of their efforts.

So, get to it. NOW!

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest XI: BLOODONTHEDANCEFLOOR


Straight up, let's just admit it -- we're all kind of dorks in one way or another. You wouldn't catch me dead at a 'hot' danceclub (unless someone managed to wheel my lifeless corpse there [which is totally something my friends would do]), but I do enjoy cutting a rug to some particularly funky choice tracks.

Your mission, should you decide to play along is to come up with your best dance party mix, but try to base it around an interesting concept -- who would attend your dance party? where would it be? would you be wearing pants? your pants? etc.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 11' in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Play by the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the two-weeks, the person holding the number one spot will take home a whopping 400 points and the badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze.

BUT WAIT, that's not all. To the TOP 3 winners, I will personally mail off some real-life badges in the form of 1" buttons (care of an offline collaboration of the always-amazing riotsheelds and I (it was mostly her -- I suck). AWESOME.

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest X: 2393


Imagine this: it's 2393 and modern civilization as we know it has ceased to exist. A uber-high tech lifestyle exists, but after WW14 (moon vs. earth), all art, literature and music have been destroyed. But, luckily for us, there is but one ghetto-blaster boombox still in existence.

Now if given the opportunity, what mixtape would you create for the future inhabitants of Earth? If you had just one tape to seal in a time capsule, what would be on it? And that's what the contest is all about.

So, parlay your stashes and come up with a 90 minute mix of glory. The funkiness of the future depends on it.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 10' in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Play by the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the two-weeks, the person holding the number one spot will take home a whopping 400 points and the badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze.

Many thanks to Steph (aka Galaxipi) for the contest idea, as well as everyone else who payed attention to the forum thread.

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest IX: Dedications I


We're all friends around here and v-day is coming up, so Corey and I thought it might be a good time to bust out the first of the dedication mixes, you know, just to make everyone feel a little bit better about being a mixtape nerd.

The premise is simple: make a mix dedicated to a site member. Make a love mix to send to me or make a hate mix to send to Corey -- this one is completely open to interpretation. Go nuts.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 9' in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Play by the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the two-weeks, the person holding the number one spot will take home a whopping 300 points and the badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze.

That said, we'd prefer if you dedicated your mix to a site member, but if you simply can't make a good one, you may dedicate it to whoever you desire.

If you're anything like me, getting up at 5:30am in the morning to go to work is downright torturous. In fact getting out of bed any time before noon is challenging. I've learned over time that I need three things to make mornings less painful:

- Black coffee
- scalding shower
- A badass mixtape

Thusly, the theme of this contest will be 'music for mornings.' Interpret it as you will, but please adhere to the theme and try to make it personal. Your entry in this contest must follow the format indicated below.

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest VII: Mixtape Potpourri


We're changing things up a bit this time and breaking away from the "themed" mixtapes. Some of you may have seen this sort of mix before; if you have, it might have been referred to as a 'Frankenstein' mix. The staff at the Collective, however, are not afraid of their masculinity and thus we bring your our little twist: Mixtape Potpourri. Your entry in this contest must follow the format indicated below. Follow the track themes as strictly or as loosely as you want, but your tape must adhere to the following format or risk disqualification.

-Your Favorite Album Opener
-A Song About Animals
-A Song That Makes You Want To Commit A Felony
-A Song About Sex
-A Song Michael Bolton Should Cover
-The Worst Song In The World
-Wildcard: Your Guilty Pleasure
-"If Snoop Dogg's 'Doggystyle' Came Out In 1944"
-A Song < 2:00
-A Remix Better Than The Original
-A Song From The Last Record You Purchased
-A Song That References Video Games
-A Song With A Swear Word In The Title
-The Song That Got You Through High School
-Your Favorite Album Closer

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 7' in all three keyword fields and activate it.

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest V: n degrees of separation


Biting on the mix style of once-triumphant mixtaper, Bootylicious, we've decided to blatently rip off one of his amazing mixes, for our latest contest.

The concept: A mix begins and ends with songs that are connected, in one way or another, by all the songs that fall between them.

Be creative, mix it up -- this is the ultimate forum to flex your useless, trivial music knowledge. The Collective will be watching.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 5' in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Adhere to the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the two-weeks, the person holding the number one spot will take home 200 points and the badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze.

Happy mixtaping!

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest IV: Ultimate Showdown


We're going to change things up a bit with this contest. Pay close attention to the rules because things are a little different this time around. You're going to have to make a choice between two of the most savage, ferocious and quite possibly most musical beings in the universe...

Robots VS Monsters

Which side will you choose? When you've decided, make a mix to prove to the rest of us which is superior. You may only enter one mix for this contest. If you submit a mix for both sides, you will be disqualified and will not be awarded anything.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 4 - Robots' or 'Mix Contest 4 - Monsters' in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Adhere to the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the four-weeks, the person holding the number one spot for EACH team will take home 200 points and a badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze. Every participant for the team with the highest average mixtape score will earn 50 points and a badge in honor of their efforts.

Happy mixtaping!

COMPLETED!: Mixtape Contest III: Back to School


Following directly on the heels of the last contest, Mixtape Contest III will require some cleverness on your part, should you join in on the competition.

The concept: Back to school music.

We've all had to return to some form of school after a glorious summer. We've all had to trade our lazy-monday mornings for biology lectures, our Price is Right marathons for dull textbooks, our youth for our education. The end result is up to you, but in some form, it should deal with the aforementioned theme.

To participate in the contest, simply create your mixtape putting 'Mix Contest 3' in all three keyword fields and activate it.

Adhere to the rules, as the winner will be determined by the votes of the Collective. At the end of the two-weeks, the person holding the number one spot will take home 200 points and the badge, with smaller bonuses and badges for silver and bronze.

COMPLETED!: CONTEST 0 : Crowd Control


Corey and Eric couldn't be more happy at the way things are turning out here on the Collective, but things are getting off to a slow start -- we need new members. Lots of them.

This contest will require you to recruit people, wether they be your friends, chums, comrades, confidants, cronies, pals, associates, cohorts, colleagues, companions or peers.

To participate in the contest, simply have the new recruit type your username in the 'Referred By' field. It's as easy as that.

That said, There are some stipulations:

1 - User MUST specify you as a referrer when signing up.
2 - Users refered prior to the start of this contest will not count.
3 - User MUST be active to count towards the contest. We will not give specific criteria, but it is safe to say that users that sign up and fail to be active will not count when the results are tallied.

Try to recruit people that will enjoy the site. We have enough dead users as it is, do you really want more to stumble up when you click 'random profile'?

Finally, if we have reason to believe you have made a 2nd account for yourself as a means to get ahead, bad things will happen. Be honest in your competition. Cheaters suck.

Good luck, happy mixtaping and thanks for helping us get this off the ground!
