I have some question? Is there a genre that is more preferable. Last question is where Can I sign up?

The Audition Thread is here: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1503324
There isn't really a 'preferred' genre, as tracks from almost every single main category/genre have scored very well over the years that NGADM has been running. Just submit the best you're capable of composing, and see how far it takes you!
@LD-W so EDM is a no go here
? When I say "as tracks from almost every single main category/genre have scored very well over the years", that means almost everything. 'EDM' is such a broad term to begin with (started off as a marketing buzzword before people started to consider it a 'category'), that it could represent quite alot of things, some of which have gotten past contestants all the way to the Finals in previous NGADM tournaments.
I always thought the Death Match assigned a genre to each round... I don't know why I thought that. So you can literally just make whatever you want each round?
Yep! Anything goes!
I will note that the judges will have their own criteria's for judging pieces by, so I wouldn't recommend submitting 20 minutes of Harsh Noise Wall to the auditions, although there's nothing stopping you if you really wanted to ;)
@LD-W I just meant I had the idea that it was like... ok Trackers vs LDW the challenge is Circus music, if the circus was touring in hell... k go! I don't know why, i just thought each round had a theme deteremined by the judges.
Oop, I assume I cant join anymore, since the deadline for sign-up was 2 weeks ago, sad. I'll be there next year tho!
Audition sign-up phase is still on-going. It ends on the 27th, so you've still got a week left to sign up
@LD-W ok hereby I sign up, but I assume it doesnt work like this, so where do I áctually sign up?
You'll need to sign up here in the auditions thread: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1503324
@LD-W So you basically sign u by submitting an audio file?
Yep, you'll need to post the track (that you've uploaded to the Audio Portal) that you want to submit for the Auditions round
