Have you created a band or a singer that you adore? Well there's a new contest at SimsFilmFest with no machinima involved! (Well you CAN make machinima if you want to but you don't have to and most people don't)

All you have to do is create a band or solo singer that is not based on an actual real life band or solo singer! Give them a cool name, snap some pics and enter! You can go so far as to create promotional materials for your band, set up a social media account for them and a band tour schedule...or not! Up to you. Looking forward to seeing what all you creative minds come up with using The Sims 3.

BATTLE OF THE BANDS ENTRY LINK AND RULES

What you'll need to create: A poster, an album/CD cover (track listing optional), magazine cover, playbill, advert (your band advertising something), photos, a music video (if you want to), an interview (answer the questions sent by SFF in your band's voice, and any other promo material you want to make, this includes things like social media pages or websites to promote your band.

P.S. Did you know SimsFilmFest started out as a 'Sims 3 only' event? I did not know that until today. Now you can use any version of the Sims!

    @ZeeGee Short Backstory of the 3 Sirens

    The names are

    Malice (Lead vocals guitarist,cherry red hair)

    Marionette (White Hair, Drummer)

    Belladonna (Black hair,keyboards)


    They are under investigation by police for missing person cases somehow connected to their concerts.Truth is all three are vampires who lure men with their metal music and good looks.They prey on stragglers and out of towners and feed on them.Sometimes a backstage pass is the last thing you wanted.

    Did not want glowing eyes just for that photo but that is skin tone am shooting for not the grey look

    @CravenLestat I would really really hate to go up against those 3 in the battle of the bands. :lol: Love their backstory and they're all gorgeous of course. We expect nothing less from you. :)

    This was always been a fun competition that the participants have always gotten behind in role playing their bands across social media accounts. We're hoping to bring it back between on a yearly basis. There is an article about Battle of the Bands on the front of the SimsFilmFest website that has links to previous magazines we've put together for the bands.

    The Battle of the Bands page has also been updated. We are now ready to accept posters and other promotional materials.

    Hope to see everyone there!

    Great thread, @ZeeGee :) Don't know how to enter, though. Especially if you have to write pages and pages of background. IDK if I have the time!

    So cool, @CravenLestat :) You should definitely enter!

    @jillbg You don’t have to do that! Some people have but it’s not necessary to enter. I love the Decora Girls! The other band and the singer are awesome pics too. Wonder if you can do multiple entries? Let me ask Jorgha.

    I think it’s pretty simple to enter, just upload your poster. Let me have a look

    :lol:

    @jillbg Just got clarification, only one entry each! And there are some additional requirements but it's all artwork except for the interview. (You just answer some questions in your band's voice) I'm going to add a link to the entry link and the rules to the first post.

    I have a question. I was reading the rules and after "You are required to create the following for your band/artist." you show a list of items. Should I create some or all of those?
  • Options
    ZeeGeeZeeGee Posts: 5,367 Member
    @thuggishsplicer The requirements are a poster, an album/CD cover, a magazine cover, a playbill, advert (your band advertising something), photos, and an interview (answer the questions sent by SFF in your band's voice. The other things, machinima, social media pages, are extras that you can do if you want to but don't have to.

    @ZeeGee Thanks for the answer! I understood right, then.
    Luckily I found some key screenshots and saves. I'll see what I can do without pose packs.
