I'd say make it as open as possible to allow the widest range of talent to submit their work for the competition. The only real restrictions needed are that the music be defensibly EQ-related (lyrics should about EQ, instrumental themes should be EQ related or be clear "variations on" existing EQ themes, or synth scores noted to specify which zone they're meant to accommodate), and that it be started after the competition begin date.

You're putting up one of the rarest and slickest artifacts the game has ever seen. Let one us blow you out of the water with something you never expected, with or without lyrics.

I'm ditching the EQ theme requirement 100% - it's too restrictive.

Let's brainstorm here. I'm thinking of an EQ-inspired song competition. Anything goes - it doesn't have to be EQ-related - it could simply be a cool little track that would go well with EQ. I think it would be a better competition if we judged the songs and performances on their own merit and didn't weigh too heavily on production value. The submissions would be public so all could listen and I would be the judge. Lyrics aren't required - if this is some Bob Dylan type music you're probably going to lose.

Grand Prize: Prenerf Fungus Staff
Second Prize: Rod of Annihilation
Third Prize: Shield of the Immaculate

I was mulling it over with Glitterati and she doesn't think I would get any submissions - "them nerds aren't gonna do it," she said. I'd like to think a shot at a prenerf staff would bring a few entries, especially if we gave people a month or two to do it, but maybe I'm just biased as a former pixel addict myself. What do you guys think? Would you bust out a little talent for a shot at a prenerf staff? If enough of you express interest, we'll do the darn thing.

So, you're looking for tracks of music+/or lyrics and in return u hand over game related items? That too rmt'ish for me.

I was considering it but after reading through the thread I don't think a Lisztian style piano arrangement/performance of some of Jay Barbeau's compositions would do well compared to a contribution featuring comical, 'entertaining' lyrics or rap.
