I mostly just figured that this is a good way to make a rescource of free game music for people to use, offering a wide variety. And I figured that to compose a music sequence for a game doesn't take much more time than to make a model for the 3d challenge, or a good code snippet for the coding challenge.

Not always. Mostly, yes, but I've heard some game music that actually sounds pretty good just for listening (e.g. some of the final fantasy and halo tracks, and I even get a kick out of the orchestrations for Super Smash Bros.)
If we did do this, though, it would probably be under the Game Theory and Design area. I also need some help figuring out some good rules. Here a few I can think of.
1)File must be submitted in either midi or mp3 format.
2)One entry per person per competition.
3)You must, and can only, submit your own work.
4)You must have it your entry in before the deadline.
5)Please don't submit the same song for multiple competitions.
