Congratulations, Top 10! You made it. We all made it. It's time to begin the final third of the competition. Are you ready?
CHALLENGE #9
THE WRITING CAMP CHALLENGE
With the amount of recycling I'm doing this season, you'd think I was an environmentalist. This was one of the most well-received challenges of last season and I think it added a really unique, real-world application to the game that everyone found refreshing and enjoyable.
In this challenge, us five judges have created a brand new record label with an artist that we've signed who is looking for songs for their new album! Take a minute to read through the following options. (A big thank you to all of the judges for getting these back to me so quickly!)
 Kiddone RecordsCEO: Sam
Artist: Tara Lyrke
Genres: Electropop, Synthpop, R&B, Trap
Railroad Records
CEO: GotSkill
Artist: Forrest Bird
Genres: Indie Rock, Folk, Acoustic
Electric City Records
CEO: Hugamari
Artist: Jessika
Genres: Dance, Electronic, Rap, R&B, Pop
Velveteen Cat Records
CEO: lovesong
Artist: Yumi Mino
Genres: Electronic, Pop, Post-punk, Indie-rock, Trip hop
Meowsetopic Records
CEO: Meowster
Artist: Terra
Genres: Jazz, Folk, Dream-pop
BUT! (yes, there is a but)
This challenge is not exactly the same as last season. As with most of the reused challenges, there is going to be a new twist to spice things up for Season 8. We want this to be like a real writing camp experience. What does that mean for you? It means that this challenge also doubles as the collaboration challenge.
You must pick another contestant to work with this challenge, and both agree to work together. Once your duo is confirmed in the thread, you can select which label you would like to work with. I'm sure you've already done the math, 10 contestants paired up and 5 labels leaves one label per team. There will be no doubles, every label's writing camp MUST be filled. It's first in, first served. If you can find a partner and agree on a label, you'll get it.
Sign-ups
Kiddone Records: UFO & Vulnicura
Railroad Records: ClarksonSlays & Moonchild
Electric City Records: 8thPrince & Achilles.
Velveteen Cat Records: swiftie13 & ughgabriel
Meowsetopic Records: MattyTacos & TheCheetahwings
You will be judged on three criteria this week; the general criteria for how much we like the song, the criteria for how well we believe you followed the label's directions, and a third criteria for how well we think you worked together (if we can see a blend if your writing styles coming through).
The CEO of the label you sign-up for also has to choose whether or not they believe your song would be good enough to make their artist's album, and if they agree, there will be some bonus points up for grabs there too.
You will succeed together and you will fall together, so make it count.
