WALTZ COMPOSITION CONTEST, RULES

The competition is closed and the winner is...

To makes things simple, I've decided to have the following rules:

This is a Waltz contest. See also the Polka composition contest.
Your tune should not be older than one year.
Send me (hans.palm@mailbox.swipnet.se) the notation in a GIF (preferable) or a BMP graphics file (please ZIP this), as compact as possible. If you have a notation program, you can make a screen dump to a file. I also accept Music Time for Windows files (MUS) and maybe also MIDI files (which I'll try to convert into notation). If you can't read/write notation easily, maybe some friend can help you. It doesn't have to look professional - it's perfectly all right to draw something on free hand using a paint program, as long as it's interpretable. This is a quick example (this took me about 5 minutes to produce using a windows paint program):

If you're having problems with sending a GIF/BMP file, you may mail the notation to me (snail address) and I'll try to scan it.
Try to make it not too difficult so that an average player will be able to read and play from the notation.
The reason why I require notation, is that this is not a performance contest. If it were, I think that most people wouldn't dare to send their contributions. It would also be difficult to handle all huge sound files, both for me and you. I also believe that good music is created on the very moment of reading, interpreting and playing directly from the notation.
What about selecting the winner? I intend to publish every contribution - no anonymous entries! I have decided to end this competition at December 31, 1996. After the closing date, the voting is simply done by the contributors. Each contributor will send me a mail with the name of the best tune (you can't vote on your own tune). I'll publish all votes and the result will be a table with all tunes and their points, the tune with the most votes at the top. These rules will enable me to participate myself and since everything is done publicly, the results should not be questioned (I hope).
