most of the sound effects I used are generic royalty free jingles
1. Jarace's OP explicitly mentioned:
iirc this clause was implemented in case unixmad wants to use the video for promotional purposes? the assumption here is that this rule extends to sound effects even though it wasn't stated but some clarification would be nice
assuming that sound effects are also included, is every little intricacy going to be evaluated with a fine tooth comb for copyright infringement? I'd like to know how much I can get away with here when it comes down to my submission and its eligibility

This is something I should have thought of initially, and I'm sorry for not including that. Yes, you should steer clear of copyrighted sound effects as well in order to be considered for the prize. If unixmad can't use it in promotion on the basis of copyright, it won't qualify for the prize. As a result, yes, videos will be looked at intricately for copyright concerns.
That said, my recommendation is to not delete this version of the video or the project file for it if you think the copyrighted sound effects make the video much more effective. Same goes for Theos's video, just in case he is reading. More on why that is the case soon. You'll still need to remove copyrighted stuff to qualify as one of the best promotional videos, that won't change.
