Formulating another themed mixtape game. I doubt I'll actually post it since we have 3 already but wanted some feedback.
Each poster makes their own mixtape (of let's say 5 songs), and submits them. Each rater then chooses 3 mixtapes to rate, based on how well they fit the theme, not just how well they like the music. The top 3 rated mixtapes are then merged into one mixtape, which is the winning playlist for the round.
Benefit of this method is that (a) we get to choose more than 1 song, and therefore describe the theme better, and (b) we can allow as many participants as we want, because it's not required to rate everything. Just rate 3 mixtapes of your choice.
