This Results are In!
After nearly two months of preparation and hard work by our six participants and six judges, our Final Fantasy XII Arrangement Competition is complete. A great deal of thanks goes out to all the competitors and judges. This turned out to be a very difficult competition for the participants, since there was no sheet music or midis for them to go off of. Undaunted, all of our contestants submitted excellent arrangements. The title of each arrangement is below. You can download these arrangements in the Final Fantasy XII section of our arrangement archive.

Again, I'd like to thank all participants and judges for their hard work. Our first major arrangement competition was a great success, and everyone's submissions will make great additions to the site. Keep an eye on this page for future arrangement competitions!
Judging Notes: Judges were not required to submit scores for each category, therefore some contestants only received final percentage scores. Also, Judge 6 had difficulty opening two of the arrangement files, so he was unable to rate them. Therefore, those two contestants' scores were computed based on the scores of the other five judges. Judges were not required to calculate the final scores based on the averages of the category scores.
