All entries can be found on this thread:

In the meantime, dare 9 has been ‘warming up’… We are collecting some thematic samples up to the 10th Jan, see the thread here:
http://www.freesound.org/forum/dare-the-community/17659/
But no one knows yet what they will be asked to do with the samples once we got them on the Freesound database… it’s a bit of a mystery…
So, come and join us… if you DARE!
Glad to see the Dares are up and running again!
By the way, could you please make a link to each of the winner’s entry? It’s a bit time consuming looking through the whole forum post to hear it
I might do that when I get a minute.
In the meantime jgeralyn, one of the participants, has created a group at Soundcloud and we are asking every participant to join that group and share their tracks there.
I expect to make that a rule for future dares. So ALL tracks from ALL dares should become available here:

I poke in and out of here so I may not be totally informed… but do the “dares” always mean making a music track using sounds from Freesound?
Most of the time yes. At least 90% of dares will be asking people to submit music.
Occasionally there may be a dare that specifically asks for ‘sound scenes’ or something else.
