Call for Entries: On-Hold Music Contest
How often have you had to endure it – the standardized melodies that are meant to convince the captured caller to hold the line? Tormented by a digital version of “Für Elise” or lulled to sleep by some generic relaxation music – this should not be the experience of anyone who calls the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar!
That is why for the past couple of years, we have been using fresh piano-compositions from a former student to inspire the waiting ear.
In order to offer further acoustic pieces the chance of attaining fame and honour in the world of on-hold callers, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is hosting an On-Hold Music Contest:
Are you a student at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar or an alumnus and have the time and the desire to perform your acoustic version of the university to an audience of waiting callers? Then we enthusiastically welcome your contribution to the On-Hold Music Contest!
The three best pieces will be chosen by a jury and have the chance to become the musical image of the »Bauhaus Today«. All decisions are final (legal recourse is excluded).
We are looking for a maximum of three clips that will each be awarded 1,000 Euro prize money.
Requirements:
- Loop capability
- 16-bit PCM Wave-File (*.wav)
- Sample Rate 48 kHz
- Mono
- Transfer of user rights to the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for a period of five years
- The right to present you by name on the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar website
