Looks like fun and they are providing a small sample set from Modus to get the creative juices flowing.

I think you have misinterpreted my tone—very calm hereCalm dude, just wanted to be sure. Don't need to be haughty.
I don't know... The foley/sound design part is the thing I enjoyed the most (the textures and rythms in my little track are a recorded/processed sheet of paper) and there are so many possibilities...I'm always bummed when they allow using other libraries... I wish they would be brave enough to just give a set of samples and say "use only this".

Also, the first rule is: "Clever or nice use of the samples provided".
Why do you want to avoid other useful tools when the goal is to represent an idea?

I get why you feel this way, but I think the libs you use don't really make a big difference in this scenario.Because it then makes me feel like other people with more libraries/tools already has an advantage on me.
I used free instruments and avoided all but one patch from Tundra (I could replace that with a plain midi brass and some fxs, but I admit that using it was faster (maybe 1h)) and Modal Runs (also replaceable, but I won it some time ago and never find where to use it, so for me it was an experiment just like tearing up the paper).The judges will be looking for five elements in the winning compositions:
- Clever or nice use of the samples provided
- Illustrates the theme
- Originality
- Sound design
- Good mix quality
Thanks!Really nice user paper by the way

Sure, good tools can do marvelous things, but also decrease the originality of the track, and reading this I don't see a clear advantage:

But I didn't avoided the commercial samples on purpose, I just didn't need those things to "tell my story". In fact, I added an Aone drum roll at the end, to support the last brass swell, but when I rendered the piece I had that track muted so it's not there, and it doesn't really matter. It was just a drop in the sea.
Thanks!
Fun fact: I was half asleep at 3am, and suddenly thought that to get to a new universe you could need a fracture in the space-time continuum, and that it could sound like a fracture in paper, so the whole track was inspired by that. I guess the muses are everywhere when you are not looking
