Like an erection? Eee. It's more like cooking and more like how @Vinpous describes it. Depending on "inspired" moments of "erections" limits your musical ability. You have to work at it. Treat it like a long term agenda. Like each song is a part of a larger piece called your creative evolution.

Are you asking me? My reason is nothing interesting other than I misunderstood the actual deadline and missed it by 30mins. Thought I still had time.

The rules do not state that a track has to be well produced - just that it has to be "complete".
"Complete" is a very subjective term. However I would probably suggest that it should be treated as you not having anything more you think should be added to/changed about the piece of music.
I know it's a subjective term but I'm saying it should be discussed because it's probably a term they should remove from their "requirements" or description because A) People will ignore it - like me B) Some less certain musicians will be intimidated by it or C) It will have an unexpected influence on the _style_ of the music.
I think it's a matter that should be discussed because it's an interesting challenge in any artist's career (Rhetorically speaking, what is a complete song to you?) but I don't think it should be included in the requirements for the reasons I list above. I'm not suggesting I'm confused by it. I'm suggesting it poses those other issues.

Not to say it's a huge deal but it's a surprising requirement. I would argue some styles of music lend themselves more to qualities of sounding less produced - lofi, folk, sound collage. Although this really just seems to be an initiative that runs on the honor system, I sort of feel like I'm going to have to conceptually deal with my music differently in order to compensate for less production time. In other words, maybe I will make some lo-fi pieces of music.
Just thought I'd bring up the subject.
