I did that once, never again. And another reasons is probably that we did not have enough maps! Right know the game has 20 soundtracks and 25 maps since 0.8, so it would be good to have new ones I guess.

• Use a wiki page to organize submissions, making it easier for the core team (or the panel of judges) to look through candidates. On this wiki page, submissions are categorized, e.g. music for menu, music for maps (which maps), music for title, etc. Perhaps we can take turns each month compiling such a page.
  
• Enforce "one submission, one thread" principle, and ask the submitters to always update the first post to link to the latest version of the work. The thread can be used for feedback and discussion, but everything the judge needs to know has to be in the first post. Also, they need to properly use post prefixes, such as [sub for Xoylent], [sub for title], etc.
  
• I think music can change over time. A winning track that got packaged into 0.9 may be replaced by a new winner next time. So the winning tracks have their positions in history, but Xonotic keeps growing, and every release has something fresh. Considering the relatively small size of the music files, we can perhaps leave past selected tracks in the now-available Media->Music menu.
