HISS, also known as Hooked in 60 Seconds, is a music contest website designed to allow amateur composers to create quality music, submit their compositions and earn prizes and credits for ranking. The procedure is simple. HISS administrators post music contests, then members enter and vote on the entries to select a music contest winner. Basically, you have sixty seconds to get other members captivated on your effort.

International music competition is a very important aspect, because online there are numerous members who post from worldwide.

Music is inspiring and universal. If you enjoy listening to music and you are a competitive person, you will definitely want to try this innovative system. This is an important chance to express yourself and perhaps win some money.

The website also has a lot of other useful features. One of them is the online radio station where you can listen to quality music anytime you want. Radio songs are selected by HISS admin. The administrators of the website go through the member profiles daily and select only those entries they think are appropriate.

In case you are wondering, HISS was designed by a group of ambitious, aspiring musicians, working to put all the pieces together. They worked on this project for over a year and a half. The web site was designed by a team of professional web designers.

If you decide to create a HISS account you will get free credits when you sign up. Most contests cost you credits. If you run out of free credits, you will need to buy or win more to enter contests.

Most contest entries are restricted to sixty seconds and four thousand KB. Other restrictions will be posted in the contest information if they vary. Your credits may be returned depending on the reasons for disqualification. The HISS admin will decide this as well. You can find out and discuss more information related to the web site and the whole HISS system in the forum.

Once a contest is open for voting, the members can listen to the entries and vote from one to ten, ten being best. You must listen to at least part of an entry before you can post a vote. The winners are then selected considering the highest average score using the Fair Play Voting System.

In addition, the international music competition system has some important rules. For instance, you need to upload Mp3 files only. Quality is imperative; do not forget the file size. You can vote in a contest you have entered, but you are not able to vote on your own entry. Also, you are allowed to create a maximum of four accounts using the same IP address. You cannot enter the same composition in more than one contest. Those are some vital rules in case you want to give it a try. By the way, the compositions are anonymous until all voting is done.
