When we first started Remix Comps back in December 2008, we could only find about 40 remix contests, today as I write this there are 135 remix contests listed on the site. Because of this huge increase in the number of remix contests it can get difficult to quickly go through and find the best of the best. We also realize that not all remix contests are created equally and some don't reward remixers as well as others do.

We wanted to add some updates which make it easier and quicker for visitors as well as making certain remix contests stand out from the crowd when they reward remixers for their hard work with good prizes. We also want to see remix contests start being a bit more open about the amount of royalties that a remixer gets when a remix gets released as many remix contests don't even mention any royalties at all.

When royalty percentage is mentioned we are now highlighting this with a star on the right hand side of the listing. We also have a new section under the prize drop-down at the top which allows you to see just remix contests which say that they are giving away royalties. Plus we have a new way to sort these so you can quickly see the highest royalty percentage paying remix contest on this page, this is available from the new dropdown above called "Top".

Some remix contests give away a cash rewards instead of royalties. So just like with the contests paying royalties we highlight these contests with a star on the right of the listing and we also have another page which sorts these by cash value for the main prize winner on this page and this is also available from the new dropdown.

We also have a new Editor's Picks page where we will be selecting remix contests as they are listed that have a decentgood combination of decent prizes, no "bad" rules and based upon the original track. Editor's Picks are also highlighted on the right hand side of the remix contest.

We hope these improvements help you using the site.
