The Sound Of Music

Soundtracks are one of the most important elements that bring shows and movies to life. I get goosebumps when the Star Trek: Voyager – Main Title Theme plays, and let myself get inspired by various music styles while I write.

For this competition, you are asked to create a soundtrack of five songs for an episode of the most recent, or current, mission of your primary command. Be creative – you are completely free in what kind of music you choose, you can you mix and match as you please.

• Submissions must include a link to your playlist and an explanation of your track choice in the competition text box.
• Playlists must be 5 to 8 tracks in length. They must be created on Spotify, YouTube, or any free-to-access, no login-required music platform.
• The track explanation is a reflective piece of writing. It should explain what part of the chapter the track belongs to, and why it was chose.

 

Criteria

• Submissions will be judged on the explanation, not the music itself. Any choice is appropriate if justified. The explanation should be a maximum of 500 words. 
• Submissions will be judged on your playlist's Originality, Suitability, and Narrative Cohesion.
