Score Dash is a music jam for composers of all levels to challenge themselves to create something new in an hour in a controlled stress environment. Theme will be announced on a live stream via twitch/youtube before being updated here so be sure to check that out! If you miss the livestream, the VOD will be up on my YouTube Channel (linked below)
This event is run by ScoringTech.net - be sure to check out the blog for some good music related content. Be sure to join our discord- we can use that to give feedback or discuss the tracks at the end of this jam or prep for future iterations of our regularly scheduled jams.

Rules & Guidelines
You have one hour to create a cue based on a theme given in my live stream. I will be doing the challenge live in 60 minutes, but you have about a week to get it done. Please limit yourself STRICTLY to 60 minutes it is for growth of yourself as a composer - this is on the honor system as I can not enforce this. Please adhere to this rule, as the only person you're really cheating is yourself.
Entries can be submitted on this itch.io page, but if you'd like a chance to win a prize (a sample pack from the ScoringTech.Net online store) please post on Instagram and tag @Joe_Chris_ in the caption. I will be picking my favorite Wednesday morning, 12/17 and will announce that night on my instagram story.
You can use any DAW, plugin,instrument or whatever you have available to you to complete this challenge. However, no existing music can be used and any use of generative AI is an instant disqualification.
Theme: TBA day of on the livestream
