The rules for FC System F are as simple as we could keep them!

  1. First rule of all, anyone can enter the competition for a chance to become part of the greatest team in trance history. To us, it doesn't matter if you're 7 or 70, if you come from Argentina or Japan, or if you own a dog or a cat. Your entry could be the first remix you've ever made, or you could be an established artist or producer. So to make things clear, anyone can enter this competition.
  2. As an exception to the first rule, only people who are currently employed by Black Hole Recordings, Flashover Recordings, Trackitdown.net or Copa are prohibited from entered the competition. Just so you know we do want to give those prizes away!
  3. After all of the remixes for a System F track are submitted, we will pick the remixes we feel are good enough to enter the voting pool. The number of remixes in the voting pool may vary per track, so as few as 2 or as many as 10 mixes may be selected. We will not enter any discussions whether a remix is good or not.
  4. There are also no limits to the style of remix you make. For example, as long as it's well-produced, a lounge remix or a dubstep remix has just as much chance to end up in the voting pool as a trance remix.
  5. There is also no limit to the number of times you can enter the competition, so you can remix 1 FC System F track or you can remix all 10. You can, however, submit only 1 remix of each track.
  6. We ask that you submit each remix to us as an mp3 by uploading it via your profile. If your remix is chosen for the voting stage, we will then ask you for a full audio format, being either a stereo .wav or .aif file. We advise you to store such a file when you submit your .mp3 for the competition.
  7. If your remix is chosen for the voting pool, we'll let you know on the day that your remix is posted on www.fcsystemf.com. This way you can let all your friends know that they should vote for you. We'll also announce these mixes via our Twitter account, twitter.com/fcsystemf.
  8. We will not notify you if your remix did not make it past our first selection, but as promised we will print your name in the booklet of the FC System F "Champions" album, and you'll still have a chance to win 1 of those 100 free copies of the album at the end of the competition.
  9. Of course, we don't want our outtakes/parts to be used for anything else besides making remixes for FC System F. Therefore, before you download the outtakes/parts, you must agree to our Terms & Conditions.
  10. In short, the Terms & Conditions outline what you can and can't do when you have the outtakes/parts in your possession. For example, you can't post or upload your remix anywhere other than www.fcsystemf.com, and you can't release your remix on any other label or make a new recording with the outtakes/parts under your own name. To keep it really simple, the only thing you can do with the outtakes/parts is make a remix and send it to us for the competition. Any remixes submitted to FC System F will belong to us, and we will be free to exploit or not exploit the remix as we see fit.
  11. If you've downloaded the outtakes/parts and you couldn't make something worthwhile to send to us, we kindly ask you to dispose of the outtakes/parts at the end of the remix competition.

So, we hope everything is clear to you. Of course, you're welcome to read or print the Terms & Conditions before you click yes. If you have any questions, please send us an e-mail to referee@fcsystemf.com.
