What is Sample Pack Contest?

Sample Pack Contest is a series of original music-writing contests that began in 2005, originally on VGMusic's forums and now on its own dedicated Discord server.

In the regular SPCs, users are first asked to submit sound samples, which can be anything ranging from video game noises to famous music clips to sounds recorded using your own mic. Then, participants create music tracks using only the samples submitted to the pack. In the end, all music is listened to and voted on to determine placing and the eventual winner. Read all about SPC on their website and be sure to join the 20th SPC, which happens to also fall on the 20th anniversary of the contest!

The Video Game Edition of SPC is a mini-SPC round to fill the void before round 20 start. For this version the sound samples are restricted to only coming from well known video games. As such the rules are a little different to keep the scale smaller and shorter.

This system is hosted for free on the VGM Lounge site on behalf of the Sample Pack Contest. The system is developed and maintained by dataGecko.
