<h2><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I want to thank everyone for participating in the Mixposure $5000 Contest Giveaway! </span></span></span></h2><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My biggest thanks however goes to <a href="http://stores.stratageguitars.com/StoreFront.bok">Stratage Guitars</a> and <a href="http://www.cakewalk.com">Cakewalk</a> who made this contest possible. I can't thank you enough!! We will continue to promote these companies because their products and customer service deserve it. If you are a guitarist or bass player, I would suggest checking out Stratage Guitars. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The judging was very close and please remember, there are no losers in this contest. Everyone won something. As for judging, I made it simple. I asked the judges to just rate the songs from 1 to 10. There were 4 judges in all and their scores were all pretty close across the board. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">1st Place - Bilbozo for <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mixposure_song_player&song_id=14432&band_id=1155">The Mexican Machine</a><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2nd Place - Ashely with <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mixposure_song_player&song_id=14004&band_id=2805">Almost Lovers</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">3rd Place - Nigel Potter <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mixposure_song_player&song_id=14645&band_id=928">Spires of Heaven</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">4th Place - Jackson-Hart <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mixposure_song_player&song_id=14788&band_id=3611">Gypsy Princess</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">5th Place - Henry Correy <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mixposure_song_player&song_id=8687&band_id=835">Self Made Man</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For the winners, please send me a private message with your address and contact information so we can get the ball rolling. Congratulations to all of our Winners!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I am hoping to have the results for the contest today or tommorrow. I am waiting for judging results from a few people. The race is tight right now but as I look at it, regardless of who wins the guitar, you guys are all winners! Great job to everyone who participated in this event!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Last night in the chat room I was asking if anyone was missing the old feature we had on the artist pages which showed all songs reviews receives and written. I was not sure if people liked that feature or not and I was surprised that most wanted it back. So I am in the process of adding them back in. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">I had time this morning to add in the reviews received thanks to my dog waking me up at 4:30am. The page is not done and there are some corrections I have to make but it works. It is just not as functional as I want it to be yet. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">For those of you who have not seen this, it comes in handy in a few different ways. I use it so I can go back and review the artists that are reviewing me!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Have a great day all!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Dazed<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on Mixposure as well as our sponsors Stratage Guitars & Cakewalk! We will start checking the results today and sending the songs to our judges. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">There will be a few songs eliminated from the list due to Mods/Admins and DJ's being involved in the songs so the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/ranking.php?mode=jrMixposure&header_template=jrMixposureReviews_header.tpl&row_template=jrMixposureReviews_row.tpl&footer_template=contest_footer.tpl&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Rob+Grant&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Mike+Kohlgraf&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Dazed&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=RwK&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Ked&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=WILDHONEYPIE&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=KED+RECORDS&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Jims+Artificial+Earth&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=BigPete&unique=true&type=song&date=range&begin_date=20090701&end_date=20091207&cache_time=0">results list</a> is not accurate.

We want this contest to be fair and anyone caught manipulating the contest will be disqualified. IP addresses will be looked at as well as proxy servers. <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/ranking.php?mode=jrMixposure&header_template=jrMixposureReviews_header.tpl&row_template=jrMixposureReviews_row.tpl&footer_template=contest_footer.tpl&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Rob+Grant&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Mike+Kohlgraf&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Dazed&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=RwK&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Ked&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=WILDHONEYPIE&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=KED+RECORDS&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=Jims+Artificial+Earth&exclude_area[]=band_name&exclude_string[]=BigPete&unique=true&type=song&date=range&begin_date=20090701&end_date=20091207&cache_time=0">Here</a> are the running results so far. At the end of the contest we will review the top 5 to verify they meet the contest rules. <br /> <br /> The Mixposure Artist will upload a song to their artist page. The Top 5 Artists with the most song reviews will be entered in to the finals. You will need to get your fans to comment on your song! One word comments will be deleted!! <br /> <br /> Once we have the Top 5 Bands, the songs will be presented to an Independent Panel of Judges.
