Plugin Description
SoundCloud Sound Competition has been created to let you host your own remix competition without thinking about storage space, it’s all integrated with SoundCloud so that all remixes are stored there.

You can chose a database slug when a competition has come to an end and you want to start another one, this creates a new competition.

plugin to gain access.
