Thank you for the update, I submitted mine like 2 weeks ago but didn't get any email, just a message on the site its self saying "thank Choom" so I was worried, but hearing that you had the same but they did receive it puts my mind at ease a bit haha.

Good luck with your submission!!
reminds old time when on a team for a free french wbstie about MAO we make this kind of contest , free song contest , take many hours to review each track , each time we get mostly 200/300 track and pick the best 10 .. a lot of hour just to listen music xDThat's a lot ! Good luck to selecting "only" few ones
A bit late but to add to this, CD probably has their own audio team that will have to mix all the radio host vocals and tracks together into a cohesive station. I'm sure during this process they loudness match all tracks the same way spotify and other streaming services do.if you track get some good dynamic range , now days some tools editors can rectify loudness
as i said 23 db lufs not a requirement , the final goal loud or not , get the track feel good
GL all ^^

Submissions to our Growl FM Community Music Contest are now officially closed. Your response blew our minds – you have created and sent us over 7800 tracks!
Stay tuned for the announcement of the winners in January!
Very true; everyone should work with the expectation to win, else you will doubt yourself and make mistakes because of it!
You could try emailing the growl FM address, from their FAQ section it is
Hope so. Nowadays people in the industry are so petty with this. These kinds of people look more at graphs and numbers instead of focusing on their ears and feeling the music and hearing if it sounds good.A bit late but to add to this, CD probably has their own audio team that will have to mix all the radio host vocals and tracks together into a cohesive station. I'm sure during this process they loudness match all tracks the same way spotify and other streaming services do.
It's usually a simple adjustment done by measuring the integrated loudness (average loudness over an entire track) and turning up or down the gain to hit the desired level. For example if you want all tracks to have an integrated loudness of -14 LUFS but one track is mastered at -7 LUFS you can turn it down -7 dB and it will be at the desired level. Easy!
Since almost every streaming service uses loudness normalization you are free to use mastering as a tool to enhance the music, not just to hit a specific number. Some genres like EDM or metal will probably sound better squashed with no dynamics (loud), cinematic or folk music will probably sound better with more dynamics, but in the end it's up to you!
Long story short nobody should stress about the loudness of the track they submitted

You didn't submit your song on the website before ?
It's still the 30th today for me?You didn't submit your song on the website before ?
And I say "before" because submissions were closed yesterday, 30th November. If not, sadly, it's too late
I thought it was going to be a lot lower. Number of people that bought it/fans of CDPR - sure, but number of those that are musicians.. Granted I've seen a fair amount that say "first thing I've ever made". There's a part of me that thinks it might be a little slanted toward tracks with vocals, but that might be wishful thinking. But I submitted mine a month ago - rather than stress about it up until the deadline. I just didn't want to worry. Click send, forget about it.. not sure if that worked seeing as how I'm still checking this forum every day.. >.< ..just to see the conversation..
