| | 4 | I considered [wiki:Ukulele/UCC2012 the Ukulele Cover Challenge of 2012] a great success and want to get started on the next iteration. Also for some reason I made "Ukulele Club" soap. So I'm finally starting '''Ukulele Club 2013'''! |

| | 6 | == Rules of Ukulele Club == |
| | 7 | 1. Talk about ukulele club, obviously. Let's get some new people involved. |

| | 13 | 4. There is a required schedule for posting videos. |
| | 14 | a. A week must pass between each entry. One video every other week is most frequent posting that is acceptable. |

| | 19 | a. Videos must fit one of the "Open Categories" listed below on [wiki:Ukulele/UkuleleClub2013 this page]. |
| | 20 | c. I will try to maintain more open categories than there are active participants. |
| | 21 | d. Only one video will get credit for each category, after which the category will be closed. |
| | 22 | i. You snooze you lose. |
| | 23 | ii. You may attempt to coordinate on who is going to claim which category, but it is ultimately your responsibility to post videos that fit the rules. |
| | 24 | e. Accepted videos will be added to a !YouTube playlist and linked from here. |
| | 25 | f. E-mail links to your videos on !YouTube to ukuleleclub@unprompted.com to secure your entries. |
| | 26 | g. A song will only be considered for one category even if it meets multiple. |
| | 27 | h. I am open to creative interpretation of the categories, obvious attempts to weasel out of the requirements won't be accepted. |
| | 28 | 6. You can win at ukulele club. |
| | 29 | a. When you post five videos that meet all of the rules, you win at ukulele club! |
| | 30 | b. The first four people to win at ukulele club will receive a bar of home-made soap from me. |
| | 31 | i. The first two bars are pink and smell vaguely like soap. |
| | 32 | ii. The second two bars are brown-ish and smell vaguely of root beer. |
| | 33 | iii. If I award any prizes after that, it will probably be bars of store-bought soap with the brand scraped off and "ukulele club" carved into it. |
| | 34 | iv. This is the first soap I've made. It's probably not good soap. |
| | 35 | v. The soap is made from bacon grease. |
| | 36 | vi. No, the soap does not smell like bacon. |
| | 37 | c. Once all of the initial prizes have been given out, no new entrants will be accepted. |
| | 38 | 7. The rules are just an attempt to keep things interesting. |
| | 39 | a. I may change them if necessary to keep things fair and entertaining. |
| | 40 | b. If you don't like them, you can try to guilt me into fixing them. |
| | 41 | 8. Try to have fun. |
