At last, the compilation album for AIM 2019 is finally here! You can now stream and/or download all the winners and runner-ups of this compo by following this link. Enjoy over an hour's worth of great music inspired by a wide variety of Newgrounds art pieces!
Thanks again to everyone who participated. It was an amazing experience being able to organize a compo like this for the first time. Here's to hoping there's another AIM next year. 🤔
Next year i'll think of bit more creative prize, games are cool but seem like ppl not that interested. Software is bit too difficult to share. Oh well I'll put up a fund for money prize

Yeah, prize management was definitely not something I would have been able to do efficiently myself - I was quite grateful for the help that I got with that aspect of the competition. Looking at previous AIMs, it did seem like a lot more physical prizes were involved. I'm too used to compos existing for the sole purpose of improving one's musical skills, being part of a community and I dunno, doing it for the sake of doing it. :P But it would be cool to get some more prizes, especially for larger, annual competitions like these.
My friend is almost finished making the design that will go on the prize USBs. Call me biased, but I think it looks awesome and will look even better once the physical prize arrives. 😂
This contest was really fun thanks for a great first experience and good job everyone especially the winners of the contest you guys did great!
Hey everyone, I apologize that I haven't spoken for a while but PRIZE UPDATE
So the AIM drives are almost ready to go for everyone who placed top three, Runner-Ups and Fan Favorite. There's really two things holding them back: first, the art design for the drives is almost done; and second, once the art is complete, the drives have to be ordered with the design on them. It could take a bit, but I will let you all know when they will be ready to distribute to you.
(For clarification, each person who placed will only get ONE flash drive, no matter if you have two songs on the album.)
In the meantime, @Troisnyx @Everratic @SirQuebi since you guys placed top 3, if you guys can PM me an e-mail for someone at Versilian Studios to get in contact with you, we can get the three of you the copy of VSCO 2 Pro that you have won.
To everyone else, I apologize for the wait, but when you see these flash drives, they certainly will be worth it.
The AIM Contest is my favorite one every year. I enjoy submitting my music for people to listen to. I'm not mainly after any prize or money but rather the connection between each and every individual artist out there that has shared their own music with the rest of us. With that I say congratulations to everyone who made it to the final of the AIM Contest, I'd like to thank the judges @I0TA, @Ninjamuffin99, and @SplatterDash for their time and patience during this contest, and last but not least @Random-storykeeper for hosting and organizing this years AIM. I'd also like to thank the Host and Judges for allowing my second submission on the AIM Album, it means a lot to me.
For those who didn't make it I'd still like to thank you for participating in this awesome yearly contest and I do wish to see everyone again next year because what ever you do don't and I mean DON'T GIVE UP! Practice makes perfect and creativity brings knowledge. I know you can all improve with time too. Thank you everyone for sharing and see you all next year!

I kinda got a mix up lol but I want to also thank @Quarl and @JessieYun for judging the competition. I'm not sure how many judges there were but a thank you to them as well :3

Heh yeah it’s quite confusing, but Quarl, JessieYun and @Ectisity were all judges for this compo. :P
Hey everyone, I'm here to give a quick prize update.
Recently, the person who I'ce been working with at Versilian Studios had his main computer out of commission for a few weeks now because of a CPU failure, on top of him being on vacation right now, so unfortunately the VSCO 2 copies have been delayed a bit as he's been mostly working from a laptop. I will go ahead and ping the three recipients of the copies when the person at VS is able to send them out to you.
As for the flash drives, they have been ordered and should be ready to head your way very soon. I will ping the top 19 (and fan favorite) when the drives are ready to head your way. I will keep everyone posted in the meantime, and I heavily apologize for the delay.
Hey everyone! PRIZE UPDATE!
@Troisnyx @EverReverb @SirQuebi The person who I've been working with at Versilian contacted you earlier about your copies of VSCO 2, so check your inboxes in case you haven't already. I apologize very much for the delay, he's finally got his main PC back up and running!
Flash drives should be in soon, and I'll ping everyone who is recieving one when they have arrived. The wait is finally starting to come to an end :D
HEY EVERYONE PRIZE UPDATE! WOOOOOO
The wait is finally over - the flash drives are ready to be brought to all winners! They are absolutely amazing and I know that you all will enjoy them. Included on each one is a copy of the AIM album, free for your listening pleasure!
The person who I have worked with at Versilian Studios has asked for me to gather each winners' email and forward it to them. That way, they can get in touch with you guys and get you your drives.
The only people who are covered are @Troisnyx , @Everratic and @SirQuebi , because you were already contacted for your copies of VSCO 2, so we will use the address you gave then, unless you have a different one you would like us to contact.
Everyone else ( @CANDYdisturber @MintyFreshThoughts @BryceSummer @FelixZophar @BeforeDestruction @JordanKyser @TheDoubleOne @arbelamram @MrSmash64 @satanicpotatoe @Seprix @Aydin-Jewelz123 @GentWalrus @Teckmo-X @5TanLey ) please let me know via PM what the best email address is for Versilian to contact you and get you your drive. Please note that you will only be recieving one drive, even if you placed in the runner-ups twice.
A huge congrats again to all who won AIM 2019! We hope to see you all next year :D

I'd like to apologize and make a correction. When the person whom I contacted at Versilian talked to me, he asked for "mailing addresses" of the winners, and by that I thought he meant E-mail addresses which he would use to contact the winners for their physical addresses. What he meant was physical mailing addresses, which means that those who originally sent in E-mails (including the top three) will have to send physical mailing addresses. In return, I will go ahead and delete the messages with emails on my end, and once I forward the physical addresses to Versilian, delete those messages as well. Again, I apologize for that mistake on my end.

No.
Can’t he just email me the files?
You got dat?
Quick update with the drives: if you sent in an address over the weekend (MintyFreshThoughts, SirQuebi, TheDoubleOne, MrSmash64 & BryceSummer), I recieved word from Versilian that your drives were sent out yesterday, so they should be arriving to your places very soon. Another batch should be sent out within the next couple of days to those who provided their addresses, and I will post here when another batch goes out.

Another batch has went out, the drives are heading for @CANDYdisturber and @Techmo-X , so hopefully those should be arriving soon.

I can confirm I just received mine today! Thanks again for hosting the contest and stuff!! It really was a blast... Will there be another one next year?

There should hopefully be one next year, unless nobody wants to run the competition. Glad that you had a blast, though, and hope that you enjoy the drive! We'll see you next year if it does get hosted again :D
Honestly I don't care about a prize. I never got money, or prizes/gifts from my music. So I'm going to pass.
You got dat?
Hey everyone!
This is a heads up for those winners who did not send in their (mailing) addresses to PLEASE PM me one so that I can get the drives to you. They are a unique, one of a kind drive, and you guys have definitely earned the right to have one of them!
@Troisnyx @Everratic @BeforeDestruction @JordanKyser @arbelamram @satanicpotatoe @Seprix @Aydin-Jewelz123
(Zophar you should be good)

Sent you my mailing address. I was under the impression that those of us who did put it in as the billing address for VSCO2 also would have got it for the flash drive, but I was mistaken. Sorry about that.
Update: Flash drives for @GentWalrus , @Troisnyx , @JordanKyser , @5TanLey, and @Aydin-Jewelz123 have been sent out. They should hopefully arrive within the next few days!
Hey everyone, just a heads-up for @BeforeDestruction @satanicpotatoe & @Seprix to please send me a mailing address for your flash drives so I can get them out to you.
Hey guys, this is a LAST CALL for the few winners who did not mention an address for their drives to PLEASE do so! You have a week to mention it, otherwise you may not get your drive that you won.
