Contest - Remix your favorite Beastie Boys tune
$5 Extra Remix Contest One (5ERCO)
This $5 Extra sponsored remix contest is open to all fans of the Beastie Boys including admins/mods of the Beastie Boys site, the Beastie Boys themselves and Russell Jones. The winners announced in the following issue.
Contestants are required to submit a remix in mp3 format and find a way to have it hosted so that all three judges can download it. Contestants are also required to submit a short description on what inspired them to do the remix and what they did to come up with it. Please have this translated into English so that the judges can read it. Also please tell us your first name, age, location on this planet and favorite non-alcoholic beverage.
Judging
Remixes will be judged by three people, just like the tv show Pop/American Idol. Each judge will have their own elements they are looking for. The judges are JimmyJrg as the Creativity Judge, funky49 as the Technical Judge and Mr. Mystery who has his own set of mystery elements you’ll want to bring to the track.
Jimmy is going to be the sexy Paula Abdul judge because he’s so sexy and I’m going to be the Simon Cowell judge because of my secret desire to change from being a nice guy into being a rat-bastard-jaded-ass hole-bitch.Prizes
First Place Prize: Golden Bullshit Plastic Microphone, a $5 US dollar bill signed with the judges signatures and a $5 Australian dollar bill signed with the judges signatures.
Second Place Prize: Something even shittier than the First Place Prize.
Third Place Prize: Life long subscription to $5 Extra.Rules
