If you think you're the next John Williams or have a friend who thinks he's the next Mark Mothersbaugh, then this project's for you. We're looking for an incredibly talented composer to create the FIRST official Tongal Theme Song to be debuted at the Tongies!

Think catchy, upbeat, energetic. Think percussion, brass, string. Think creativity, excitement, tradition. Think about YOUR song playing off that big shot Tongal filmmaker when his acceptance speech goes on just a tad too long. The possibilities are endless and we want to keep this project wide open to your interpretation.

So go ahead and submit that tune you can't get out of your head or refer that guy who composed the score for your winning Tongal Video, we want to hear it all.

The goal of this project is to create a 90-120 second Tongal Theme Song with a 30-60 second Variation to be debuted at the Tongies. Remember the Song should be composed specifically for Tongal, so while your neighbor’s daughter’s boyfriend’s punk-rock band may be talented, we want a piece of music that is uniquely Tongal and will establish the mood for the Tongies. We’re keeping this wide open, so whether your style is reggae, classical or electronica, we wanna hear your take!

--Target Audience: Tongalers!

--Tone: Fun, epic, energetic, creative, catchy, upbeat

--Exposure: Tongies
