24 days until Christmas, and every day will have a different format and bitpack for you. Which one is next? That's the surprise! Make sure to check this battle every day to not miss a format you might be interested in!
Formats and Bitpack change at midnight (PST Timezone).
You can read more about this series here. Also check Advent Calendar 2020!
This is basically a timezone-friendly XHB :D
That means, that the average time you should put into an entry is 1 to 4 hours. You can obviously work a lot longer on your track if you want, but don't think you're forced to do this. The usual XHB-rules apply: Your entry should be done within the day, please don't submit tracks you finished earlier, follow the rules or use the provided samples, depending on the bitpack-type.
- candlelight • adventism • frozen lake • chimney smoke • gingerbread in pants
- Follow the bit pack and format rules, that change every day
- Don't submit tracks you finished earlier (before the battle)
- All registered users of BotB may vote.
- All tunes will be rendered to MP3 for voting accessibility.
- No covers allowed, only original works.
- Entries that have been previously publicly released are not allowed.
- While generative processes are permitted if designed by the entrant, they should never be used as a substitute for putting real human effort into your entries on BotB.
- For direct communication join us on IRC!! irc.esper.net #botb :D/
