Congrats, dude, you earned it. To hear more of DJ Shox’s compositions, feel free to listen at your heart’s content.

To everyone else who entered, much thanks for participating, we really loved hearing all that you guys put out there for us to enjoy. It was such a great thing to see this community jumping into something like this. Not everyone’s favorite won, but hey, that’s why we vote.

Me thinks we need more contests in the future. If you somehow missed all of the excitement, you can go listen to the finalists. But for now, here’s your Miss America:

Create your own rendition of The Leet World theme by Damn Dangerous by Monday, May 12th for a chance to win some cool prizes. The winner of this Themetacular Challenge will not only win a sweet TLW related prize produced by Smooth Few Films, but they will also get another bonus — their song will play during the intro to Episode 14, the Season One finale!

After the May 12th deadline, 5 finalists will be selected by Smooth Few Films, and the final voting will be held here on the site. Don’t worry, downvoting won’t be a factor in this contest.

The criteria for the submissions are as follows:

The song must be roughly 30 seconds in length (28 seconds at the shortest and 32 seconds at the longest). There’s no wiggle room here. Anything under 28 seconds or over 32 seconds will sadly not be eligible.

Submissions must be in the spirit of The Leet World show. While genre and style are totally fair game, remember that this song will be kicking off our biggest episode of the season. Even the world’s most bad-ass song entry might not make it through if it doesn’t feel to us like it could kick off an episode, much less start everyone on the ride that ends the season.

The song must be a cover or rendition of the original theme by Damn Dangerous. Even if you write a hilarious song about Chet and Player, it won’t win. Click here for the theme. To save, right click and select “save as”. For you guitarists, you can get the tab here.

Most audio formats will be fine, but we would prefer an MP3 or AIFF at 44100 hz and 192 kbps. Lower settings than those will be acceptable, but remember that it hurts your chances. Wav files are also acceptable.

Send all entries and questions to contest@smoothfewfilms.com. Label the subject of your submission with “Themetacular Challenge”. Only one submission per contestant.

A more detailed and official rules page can be found by clicking here. Episode 12 screenies will be out tomorrow!

But now, on to our pride and joy, The Leet World- the release of Episode Eight is upon us- it’ll be here in the next day or two, so “get your popcorn ready”, to quote the lovable Mr. Owens. It’s actually going to be the biggest episode yet (clocking in at around 12 minutes as of now), so get your bandwidth ready, too.  Remember, we’ll be taking a short break from making actual episodes of the show once Episode Eight is released, but there will be some great post-Christmas presents for you guys!

One other thing- so far, things are going well with the Ziddio contest we entered (using our Halo 3 video)- but we still need more votes! The winner of this contest gets some nifty prizes, including some great opportunities to show your videos to more and more people.

It would really help us out if you would take the time to go vote. All you have to do is register at Ziddio.com, and then click here to go to our video, and give it a good rating! We’re not asking you all to make multiple accounts or down-vote other videos or anything, so please don’t do that- giving us a good vote will be more than enough to do your part.
