I had a couple questions about the contest. It was clear in the rules that people living in Quebec were excluded from the contest and I wanted to know why. If I post an entry and I'm from Quebec, what will happen? I really wanted to give this a try and I am a huge fan of the whole final fantasy's music.

Can we also be provided with a sheet music or a midi file, or are we expected to arrange it by ears?

Thanks you in advance.

Just to be clear, does the video have to show you physically present while playing the instrument? If so, does it have to be full body captured or can it be limited to just showing your hands and the instrument? I was thinking of playing this on my Saxophone, but if I really don't want to show myself...

I just want to be clear about when performing "Night in the Brume" (the "entry.") Is it the first minute of the song?

[KoleSilverheart]

Is there any way to get some kind of sheet music for Night in the Brume? That would be really helpful as I am having a hard time working it out by ear. Thank you.

[Vytria]

Yes! Is there any sheet music? Do you want the beginning with the chords or the other part with the harpsichord melody? There's so much to this song!

I second the request for sheet music. I would love to participate, but the piece is to (beautifully) complex to figure out in its entirety, then arrange, rehearse and perform by the entry deadline.

[Kikoten]

So far I'be got a little bit of the song by ear, but I'm a beginner at piano and must spend a long time learning the song. I would love some sheet music, too! Sorry about spelling g, posting on phone.

[Kikoten]

Sorry to double-post, I can't find an edit button. The instructions talk about using game footage. Is that mandarory?

[Derby_Crash]

I too would like some sheet music. I'm quite new to arranging and having some "blueprints" would assist me greatly.
