Basic Guidelines
If you'd like to host a Season, choose a week during which you'll have the time and energy to be a good host.
If things change and you're unable to host, please contact me (a private message is best) ASAP so a substitute can be found.
The only week with a theme in advance is the Christmas week - usually the last full Season before the 25th.

Good ideas for hosts
During your Season, we're in "your house", so you can set things up your way, but there are a few expectations:
Hosts must have posted at least one video for a Seasons challenge---more is much better---the more you've participated, the better you'll be at hosting a great Season.
Please comment in your Season thread on the entries, add comments to the YouTube videos, and post a wrap at the end of the week.

Important details
Each Season should be announced by the new host sometime on the day before (Saturday) the new Season is due to start. At that time, the host posts the theme, the rules, and the prizes for the week (if there are any). The host should emphasize that no videos should be posted before 12:00 AM Sunday Hawaii time.
Each Season ends eight days later on Sunday at 11:59:59 PM Hawaii time (a quirky tradition begun by chrimess which reminds us each week of the origin of all this ukulele music). So consecutive Seasons overlap on Sunday, with one Season closing and one Season opening. (Seasonistas who live outside mainland USA/Canada time zones have the same length of time to participate, but their start and end times are calculated in their own time zones.)

Hosts
Choose theme and set parameters. (How many songs allowed? Multi-tracking? etc.)
Post theme Saturday night (USA mainland time); don't allow videos posted until Sunday.
Season ends at 11:59:59 PM Hawaii time the next Sunday.
Select winners if there are any (using a method of your choice) and announce them soon after then end of your Season.
You can offer prizes for the winners, but it's not compulsory. Prizes need not be expensive. (Certificates are fine; joke prizes are fine; but ukuleles are the best prizes... )
It's great if the host posts a video during the week, whether it's an intro video, a response video, a performance, or one (or more) of each.

Participants
The more the merrier---encourage new people to join us.
Follow the host's specifications for that week. (Read the host's challenge thread carefully and/or watch the challenge video.)
Comment on others' videos, and not just your top favorites! Everyone likes encouragement. Your comment might help someone enormously. Each comment contributes the positive vibe of the Seasons, and strengthens the aloha spirit of the challenges.

A quote from former Seasons volunteer coordinator and ukulele hero, ukuloonie:
I think that we have a good group here who participate each week. I was thinking if you don’t see somebody for a while on the Seasons, it might make somebody’s day if they were just contacted to see how they were doing, not to find out why that they are not participating, just to say hello, thinking of you and hope all is well.

Big thanks to our previous coordinator, Edwin, for the fine job he did - the coordinating baton has been passed to me for now. I’m hoping our new independent forum home will encourage lots more Seasonistas to come forward as volunteers to host.

If you wish to sign up, please just post a message below and specify the week you’d like to volunteer - then I will confirm and add you to the list. It’s that easy!

Form an orderly queue please! :-)

Bystander

Thanks for taking the job on Del.

DelGriff

Hey Chris @chris667 - can you please confirm that you’re okay to do Season 670 starting on Sunday? I sent you a PM but no response so far. Thanks! :-)

chris667

Oh, that's weird. On here, or by email?

Either way I am happy to do 670.

DelGriff

chris667

That’s fab - thanks matey! :-)

(I sent the PM on here - is it not showing in the top bar? 🤔)

DelGriff

I’ll host 671 myself, so we’re covered until a couple of weeks into the new year. I’ve added some new dates in - would be good to fill those as soon as possible - any takers please? :-)

Ila

Hi, Del. I'll take number 675, please. :-)

DelGriff

Ila

Thanks so much, Ila - it’s yours! :-)

LimousinLil

DelGriff I'll do 674, Del!

DelGriff

LimousinLil

Thank you, Val - you’re on the list! :-)

chris667

DelGriff No, nor is it in my "Private Discussions". @BigKingVelour to the beige phone, please!

OneManAndHisPGUke

I’ll take 676 then 👍
