Beat Battle League Week #12 Update

Still have time to get your entries into the Beat Battle League for Week #12.

I'll be traveling ironically to California in the middle of the week so the deadline for Week #12 is extended to Friday night (November 17th) at 11:59 PM CDT / 4:59 AM UTC. With the winners being announced Saturday evening(November 18th).

We already have four (4) incredible entries this week and the judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @instrumentals, @derekmiller are very appreciative and blessed to be able to listen to your entries each week. Thank you again for all the time, effort, and resources you put into creating your music.

Thank you again to OG Tech Shaman @jphenderson for his continual support of the League.

Week #12's theme is:

California Living

Beaches, palm trees, the ocean, and that West-Coast vibe makes California Living well-known across the world. Various OGs in the music world have lived and used California as inspiration for their art. So why not us?

Remember this classic

This is a theme that leaves plenty of creativity and interpretation for producers.

You can go for that West-Coast brand of production. Or create music that would be ideal for California Living. Or many other options.

Here are the entries so far into the Beat Battle League Week #12. Don’t forget you can support your favorite entries to increase their chances of winning the Community Favorite prize.

Remember the entries are judged on:

• Sound Quality: does this shit sound crispy, in speakers and headphones, is there cracking or recording errors? How loud can we play it before you notice quality issues? etc

• Technicality: what are the skills you displayed in making this beat? The technical aspects of the your craft. The layers and sounds do they match? How many? etc

• Creativity: how unique your entry is. How well it revolves around the universal theme? O shit we have never heard that sound before? Stuff like that.

Also, sharing the story about the creation of your art in your Steemit post helps the judging panel and community gain perspective and knowledge on yourself and the message you are sharing.

The prize pool is as follows:

FIRST PLACE WINNER: 65 Whaleshares + 20 SBD for a total of 85 Points

SECOND PLACE WINNER: 50 Whaleshares + 10 SBD for a total of 60 Points

THIRD PLACE WINNER: 40 Whaleshares + 6 SBD for a total of 46 Points

FOURTH PLACE WINNER: 30 Whaleshares + 4 SBD for a total of 34 Points

CROWD FAVORITE: 15 Whaleshares + 6 SBD + 5 SMOKE for a total of 30 Points

The crowd favorite can be awarded to any Steemian with any entry this week. So the first place winner could win additional rewards or it could be another Steemian. All depends on you the Steemit community :)
