Posted January 23, 201411 yr Well I said I'd get this up soon so here goes. The first one ran without any glitches so I don't see any reason to change much from Anthony T's original post... I've not put a limit on entrants but I can't forsee there being much more than last time or as many as a typical UP. http://imageshack.us/a/img19/5093/o8fr.jpg RULES: one The golden rule of BuzzJack Nuggets is that the song submitted must have guitar as its lead instrument. It's primarily a rock competition. two The artist or band of your choice must not have reached the top 75 singles chart in the UK. three The artist or band of your choice must not have reached the top 75 albums chart in the UK. four The song must not be on the current UK release schedule. five To enter the competition you must send myself a PM detailing the song you wish to enter together with a link to a mp3. Also include a link to the song on YouTube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud. six Try to submit as high a quality mp3 as possible - low quality ones don't do well in these sorts of competitions. I know this is not always possible. seven Songs from the same artist will not be allowed to participate in the contest simultaneously. If two people choose the same act, the one who submitted their entry first will be allowed to enter the act. eight You must not reveal or even hint at which song you have sent. nine In conjunction with the moderators I will be judging if a submission is in the spirit of the competition, in borderline cases only - don't worry, I'm sure most submission will be obscure enough and rock enough to qualify. ten The closing date for submission is Wednesday 5th February at 23:59.

January 26, 201411 yr I totally missed this. Perhaps it should be a normal tread (for a while) and not pinned? Or is it just me who misses these things?
January 26, 201411 yr Author Well I've only had four entries so far so it might have been missed, they're usually most popular when first posted.
January 26, 201411 yr I kept checking the normal part of the forum for this thread but it never appeared. I reckon it should be moved to increase exposure, but that's my opinion.
January 26, 201411 yr I didn't notice this as a pinned thread either. I will be entering this, just need to look for a song first.
January 27, 201411 yr Is it only me who finds the word NUGGET really bad? :( Its association with fast food doesn't help either.
January 27, 201411 yr Is it only me who finds the word NUGGET really bad? :( Its association with fast food doesn't help either. But it's association with a legendary compilation of '60s Garage and Psychedelic bands negates that.
January 27, 201411 yr I had actually stumbled upon a lot of the Nuggets compilations in Tower last month and it was only then that I understood why this is called Nuggets. I'm so uncultured. :( Very much looking forward to this though. Hopefully my song will be a bit more successful this time 'round.
January 27, 201411 yr It's a reference to the 60 compilations. This is still pinned! Is it staying pinned?
January 27, 201411 yr I've sent an entry - The group have had exposure of a sort on this site, but not with this song and it fits all the criteria sooo Edited January 27, 201411 yr by Chez Walrus
January 31, 201411 yr Scuppered by my own rules. Two Irish bands that I wanted to enter have had UK Top 75 hits. :(
February 1, 201411 yr wasn't going to enter cos i didn't really get much out of the last one but i have a song i love so WHY NOT.
February 1, 201411 yr Author Up to 9 entries now, if we don't have at least about 14-15 by the deadline I'll send some PMs to people who took part last time and extend it for a short while.
