Question: what other sites (forum or otherwise) have regular samplepack contests? Are there any sites with subforums that are nothing but?

I'm not looking for remix contests per se, mind you (although I'm not excluding them either,) just looking for more of these or along these general lines. Variations on this theme (plug contest, app contest, stuff like the Applied Minimalism comp, etc.) are germane too.

They host a sample competition at http://www.reddit.com/r/edmproduction/. We're also trying doing a musical cadavre exquis on the IRC channel, might be cool.

You two are truly jinklminz (gentlemen as said by Popeye.)

Would love to find more of these. Nothing has helped me progress like this format; before I entered comps, I couldn't finish a tune to save my life.

Any others are welcome too, especially if they're not solely genre-driven...

Same as.
Theres the odd comp in the production section of subsekt, (http://www.subsekt.com/index.php)
As well as an ongoing applied minimalism thread http://www.subsekt.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1995.

Stones Throw do weekly beat battles. Winner posts a sample, everyone flips it, people vote with colourful text.

Worth checking Juno as well, don't know if there are any open atm but they've had a fair few in the past.

They used to do them at futuregarageforum.com but idk if they still do- as i'm too cool to go there anymore.

Still happening there, yes.
