    The world recently lost prolific composer and conductor James Horner. Mr. Horner provided music for many well-known movies over the years. The theme for this week's contest is a tribute to Mr. Horner and his extensive body of work.

    You may enter an avatar from a movie or TV show that James Horner worked on in any capacity (conductor, composer, orchestrator, etc.), whether credited or uncredited. For this contest, SF&F is OK, with one exception: let's exclude any Star Trek from the contest, since we probably tend to have a natural bias towards that franchise.

    Normal avatar rules apply: your entry should be no larger than 150 x 150, and less than 140 KB if animated.

    (Full disclosure: this was actually one of the ideas we discussed for the last contest, so I'd like to publicly thank the G-man for his feedback. :techman:)

    Contest will be open for about a week, with the poll going up next Monday or Tuesday.

    Have fun! :techman:

    But had to go with Braveheart. :)

    Good pick ^. I nearly went with that one, myself.

    I couldn't decide which track I liked best, but the main title is hard to beat, so here's a little Apollo 13:
