Just about two more days for you to place your vote for the favourite piece in this challenge!

If you haven’t done already, take a listen and help to choose who’s next to host the followup.

The community has spoken. We have a winner!

First place …
@sid6581 has gained the most votes and will have the honour to come up with the next Open Challenge #17. Hopefully this will happen sometime soon!

Runner up …
@Affectionate-Bee-781 and @alechko share the second place.

Special price goes to …
All who found some time to think about, ask questions, provide some pieces or silently enjoyed the show from outside.

Very special superhot price goes to …
@waftlord for providing an excellent heated piece just a little outside the rules.


Personally I really enjoyed hosting the whole thing and got a different perspective on a few things as well. Thanks a lot for the opportunity!

And now: On to the next part! (Please let’s not wait too long)


Edit: Let’s also share some feedback if you like! :slight_smile:

Oh man I missed the vote by minutes! Even though it says it’s open for another 2 minutes here (time zone?).

In the end I was trying to decide between the @alechko and @ViolentMeals tracks.

Sorry about that. The date format of the poll is rather cryptic and I might have messed this up with a manual close, because in my time zone (CEST) we were already 30min overdue.
In the end your vote would not have an effect on the winner itself, but possibly on the second place…

I didn’t mean to offend you. My sincere apologies if I did. Do you want me to delete that text referring to you?

ha no.
is a burnt sausage a sign of offence in some continents?

Not at my place. Couldn’t tell at first glance if it’s a piece of poo … which got me thinking… all good! Moving on.

Cheers!!

Didn’t expect to win this at all given the quality of the other entries. And thanks to @B_LD for your hosting skills.

I’ll start having a think this week about that theme for a new challenge. Firstly, I need to go back and review the previous ones, as there’s been a lot of interesting challenges.

I’ll try and get a new one going in the next couple of weeks.

Theres one that didnt make the list as i think it was not referred to as a Challenge. It involved making a piece of music using samples of the sounds sent back from the Mars rover. Will try and dig it up and update with the link.
hmm, maybe no winners/voting on this one… but, regardless heres the link.
