Hi, Tapsa, Very nice, excellent work on this beautiful piece of music! You've got a great production with a large scale cinematic sound, and I believe you did a wonderful job of achieving the Nordic vibe, as well. I'm on my second listen, the mix is clean, wide, well textured, and sounds really good. If I was a judge for the contest, you'd get my vote!  Great work! Best Wishes, Bob

Thanks for the kind words! :) Added note, this has been a lesson for me to learn to write less. I usually filled my arrangements with alot of stuff. With this I tried to declutter my arrangements and not create too many overlapping melodies and frequencies.

Nice! This is begging for some visuals. Helicopter shots of fjords, please. Dudes with animal skins for clothes, defending the village. That sort of thing.
excellent production, hope you win! What's the deadline? Can we vote?
cheers,

Nice!! I read your list of synths first and thought "geez, that's a lot in one tune". But after listening I get it. I think "pro" is the word I'd use.

Beautiful song. And not so straining on the listeners as it is not too long
