The sounds of combat have finally died down. As the dust settles for the last time, one contestant stands alone on the sands of the arena, victorious over every battle which was thrown on his way.

>>> FINAL WORDS <<<
Big thank you to all of you who competed in NGADM! From auditions to the finals, it has been great to witness the wide variety of musical talent that the Audio Portal community possesses, and the sheer perserverance of the contestants as the rounds progressed. It took me some 4 years to churn out a track, and here you are pumping out masterpieces every 3 weeks ;D
Admittedly there were many lessons for me to be learned behind the scenes, which manifested themselves in the form of a few delays with the judging phases. But besides that, I have been happy to see how smoothly the contest has progressed :)
It does remain to be seen how NGADM will be managed next year. While I wouldn't be at all opposed to return to the role of host for next year, it has almost became a tradition by this point that the torch is to be passed on to someone else each year.
Thank you everyone for a wonderful 15th anniversary of NGADM! It has been an honor to have been entrusted with the responsibility of upholding NGADM's legacy for another year ^^
