Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I cheat and scam the system with fraudulent votes?
A: No! We have a sophisticated process for detecting and removing fraudulent votes. Repeat attempts to place fraudelent votes may result in people being disqualified. Please be fair to everyone who worked hard on their remixes and don't cheat.

Q: Can I SPAM the discussion board?!?!
A: No! It's meant for discussion. Posting about your mix is cool, but please be respectful of everyone who wants to talk about the contest and don't post the same thing repeatedly.

Q: My widget doesn't work. What the heck?
A: We are working with our widget provider to iron out these kinks. The best way to guarantee success is to follow these guidelines.

  • Avoid using Internet Explorer (use Firefox instead)
  • When posting to popular social networking sites use the built in sharing functionality for that site.
  • Avoid posting to the "About Me" or "Like to Meet" sections of your MySpace profile.

Q: People are voting for me but not getting the confirmation email. Why?!?!?!
A: We send a confirmation email for every vote that is cast. We are in touch with many service providers but occasionally they do not deliver messages. The best thing to do is notify your service provider and tell them that some of your emails are getting blocked and/or vote with a different email address.

Q: Are we allowed to post the track to our social networking sites?
A: Once you submit your remix, you'll get your own personalized Mariah Carey widget so you can spread your entry all over the web. Just submit it and then click on the "Widgets!" button.

Q: Is the contest limited to the United States?
A: The contest is open to the world! Unfortunately, there are laws in
certain countries (like Belgium) that are totally out of our control. Indaba Music is an international community of musicians exploring the art of collaboration online and we most certainly welcome everyone.

Q: I don't see my question here!
A: Please post a description of the problem on the discussion board and we’ll help you as best we can!

I will be curious to see who the top two winners are. Although the premise that for an entry to be heard by the judges required more talent in winning a "popularity" and "marketing" contest rather than actual musical/production creativity makes the results a bit anti-climactic. There are sooo many wonderful mixes below the final Top Ten....

However, from the top ten, I think Alex SG Lexintone's really sounds like a winner and so does Luke Moellman's....
