With regard to SDL, I'd hesitate to call it a game creation framework, since it really only does low-level stuff. Pygame handles some higher-level things, such as sprites.
Okay, this works for me. Since you put the prize money forward, I'm going to match it. The pot stands at $50.
Since we're doing this for a cash prize, we need to make an up-front decision about who is going to be judging. Obviously, contest judges can't be eligible to win. :)
If you'd like to judge it yourself, that's fine. Just state in advance what criteria you'll be judging on and the scale you'll be using. :)
Honestly, I've tried cash prizes before, and I haven't really gotten many more entries than when there wasn't a cash prize.
That being said, that was a year ago, and we were getting a fifth of the traffic that we are now, so it might be a better proposition.
The other problem, though, is that while I have enough money to pay people to do art, I don't have enough money to get most people to enter the contest at the risk of not being paid. :)
Interesting. There's always a possibility that I subconsciously lifted it from somewhere, in which case, if someone can identify where it's from, I'll take the song down. That said, it follows a relatively common chord progression:
I-IV-I-V-I-IV-V-I
It could be that it sounds familiar because of that.
If it continues to give you problems, just email the files to me along with the licenses, title and description and I'll put them up for you. Sorry for the trouble.
Okay, I received it. What license(s) would you like me to post it under? If you're not sure, CC-BY-SA is generally a good way to go. I'll set you as the author when I upload the file.

Addendum: If you've listened to my two over versions of this song, you might be remembering those. :)

As suggested, a rock remix of Jump and Run. I give you Jump Higher Run Faster:

Okay, the deed is done. :)
I've set you as the owner, so you should be able to edit it and add a description.
Thanks, and sorry for the trouble. I wish I could figure out what's going on, but I didn't have any issues uploading it.
Okay, will do. Should be up in a minute unless I run into the same uploading problems you did.
