battleofthebits.org often runs chiptune battles, where you submit a piece in any number of given categories and then come back to vote on each piece using any number of silly categories
a lot of you guys summarily dismiss everything not sold to you with ludicruous pomp and circumstance so i'll give you a run down of the submissions this year:
12 powerfully weighty entries by Chip Champion, that lumbering, primal beast of inevitability (this is badass)
12 glitched-out pseudopornographic transmissions by Strobe, a real-life android and ancient hacker
7 bloodthirsty battlecries by Warlord, who doesn't so much write music as Ram. It. Down. Your. Throat.
those three are the heavyweights who always submit as much as they can manage, often the maximum amount
6 gelatinous globules by Slimeball, who only moves when you're not looking (this is badass)
5 slices of ElHuesudoII's razorblade, a demented and perfectionist demon barber
5 djingles by Jangler (djingle is a new genre you can only find at botb)
4 bad dirges by Zan-zan-zawa-veia, the musician some say is the worst in the world (this is badass)
3 entries by the scattershot null1024 (this is badass), by the clingy Beard (this is badass), by the penguin-like CCE (this is badass), by Svetlana the communist squirrel (this is badass), the alarmingly tasty Interrobang Pie (this is badass) and by KungFuFurby, king of the SNES
one or two submissions by many n00bs, including coda, michu, ant1 and Velathnos... and many more!
submissions are still open for a few hours but you can already listen to the tunes and decide how harshly you'll punish them based on your own nonsensical chip peccadilloes
