This year’s contest is now over and the votes are in. I’d like to give a huge thanks to everyone who participated and everyone who voted! If you’re confused, check out this post for more details on the contest.
It’s been a tough contest, with the sample madness of WAH and Jeff Goldblum Is A Real Life Dinosaur to some tracks on a level beyond this competition, such as acid and Bear Paw Sorrow/Awakening. This year also saw the welcome return of Connor (who won Scratchovision 2014 as “timey/wimey”), Mark (who won the 2015 contest as “Silver Media Productions”), and toadcode (who participated in 2015 as “gfinst”).

CD
I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and this year it’s finally happening! All 21 tracks from this year’s Scratchovision Song Contest will be released on a carefully-designed and crudely-handmade compact disc:
-
- Front of the case
-
- Back of the case
The top three entrants will receive one of these as a prize (something else that’s new for 2018) in the next few weeks, but I’ll also make them available to buy. If for some reason you’ve always wanted to hold some of the worst music ever, then now’s your chance.
Until next time…
Make sure to put your email address down for updates at the bottom of the page so that I can contact you when next year’s contest begins (and also when the CDs are available). Also, would there be any interest in a spinoff, exploring terrible taste in other artforms? Scratchovision Literature Contest?

I meant the “subscribe via email” box at the very bottom of the page – I might have to move it to a sidebar since nobody seems to find it.
