Love the background and listening to your video made me so angry that there are predatory competitions out there like this. Thanks for enlightening us!
Thanks, David! Yeah, these get me riled up, too. Thankfully, most competitions are not like this, but there are some... It's so important to know the implications of how things are worded!
Wow. I'm not a composer, but I'll still thank you for what you're doing. PSAs like this to out psychopaths (because let's not kid ourselves, this is what these people are) are always appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! It's hard to call a whole organization psychopathic, but I do scratch my head and wonder how this passed the board with no one stopping to say, "Wait, this sounds really unfair." Of course, that board member might have been outvoted...
Wow! Yes, definitely love the background. What an amazing thing you are doing by exposing these tricks to burgeoning composers! It sounded rather benign until you spelled out all the ramifications to the composer...and benefits to the organizations! Shame on them, and kudos to you!

Thank you! I agree - this sounds benign at first!
