20 seconds is really very short to have anything cohesive be submitted. I would consider moving up to 60 seconds.

It is a big limitation, but I got the idea from a Brian Eno song Commissioned by Microsoft, it's basically just one melody but it's very good, I like the idea of making music in this style. But also, this is my first jam so i haven't figured out everything. Thank you for feedback!
Microsoft startup song:
I kinda like the idea of it being 20 seconds, it forces us to make the most out of a short snippet of music, and there is still a lot one can do in that time. Such as a victory theme or a short introduction. Though I will say the 5 days to do it is a bit much, even when considering some people might not be able to do it the day it starts. Overall, though, I get the idea.
