Example 1: I am a participant, and I have already registered an account. I am unable to upload my works on the computer web page. I have tried using different browsers like 360 Browser and Google Chrome, but none of them work.

Example 2: Why am I facing difficulties in uploading my works or unable to upload them?

Answer: Generally, if you are unable to upload your works, it could be due to a network issue. It is recommended to try using a different network. If you still can't upload your works, please send the works, participation number, and password to this email address, and the technical team of the organizing committee will assist you.

Example 1: I would like to ask if the videos required for the IEMC music scoring category this year must be original? I experimented with electronic music for a silent film clip from 100 years ago. I couldn't find the production company of this film to seek authorization, and I don't know the current copyright status. The film is quite old. Can I still submit it for the competition? Also, is there a file size limit for the video?

Answer: Works should be free of copyright disputes.

Example 2: According to the requirements stated by the legal department of the organizing committee, the videos for the music scoring category must be free of copyright disputes. You can either use the materials provided by the competition or use authorized materials.

Example 3: Does IEMC require works to be original?

Answer: IEMC encourages and supports original works. However, being the first release is not one of the scoring criteria. Nevertheless, the submitted works must ensure there are no copyright disputes.

Example 4: I have released an original piece of music on a music platform. As long as I can provide the project files, can I continue to submit it for the competition?

Answer: As long as the copyrights of the work have not been exclusively granted to others (non-exclusive rights) and there are no copyright dispute issues, you can participate in the competition. The project files are mainly used to prove the originality of the work. Sharing the link to the work is sufficient, and it is not required to verify the copyright ownership of the work.
