For his efforts, Andrew will receive two free VIP tickets to the upcoming Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy concert in Chicago, Illinois on March 1, 2008. These tickets include prime seats at the concert, a free program and concert CD, and the ability to attend an exclusive meet-and-greet with Nobuo Uematsu following the performance.

The rest of the entries from the competition along with the full judging reports will be released within the next week or so and published on the competition page.
I personally would like to thank everyone involved in this competition. All your efforts truly shone through, whether as an entrant or a judge. I really appreciate all the hard work each and every one of you has put in. I'm truly sorry that there can be only one winner because virtually all the arrangements were excellent! Thank you all again for participating, and we hope to put on another competition that will be just as big very soon!

The prize packages for the winners of the Tribute to Nobuo Umatsu Arrangement Competition have now been completely finalized. The grand prize isn't changing obviously, but we finalized some other details. Here's the rundown:
The grand prize winner will get:
The first runner-up will receive:
The 3rd through 5th place finishers will receive:
In the event that the grand prize winner is unable to attend the concert, that person will receive a copy of the Distant Worlds CD hand-signed by Nobuo Uematsu. We will try to film the signing of this album for the winner, but we cannot guarantee this. In addition, this person will receive a $100 gift certificate from our store. The tickets will then be offered to runners-up in succession until we find a contestant that is able to attend the concert.
Once we determine who has won the tickets, we will arrange for them to be placed at the will-call window at the concert venue (the Rosemont Theater) for pickup prior to the show. Tickets may not be sold or transferred.
That about wraps things up! Today is the last day to submit arrangements for those who registered, and the winner should be announced within a week. Good luck everyone!
