  • Songs can be in any language and any genre

  • Submission forms will open 1 week prior to the round deadlines to be eligible for scoring the entries must be submitted through this form.

  • This CB is elimination-based, so each round roughly half the teams will pass on to the next round.

  • There is no grace period. If your team is facing render issues, the team leader may send a screenshot of the video being rendered to get a 12-hour grace, without penalty, to any of the organizers.

  • The titling scheme is as follows:
