Currently, SCRATCH does not allow for projects bigger than 10MB to be uploaded onto the SCRATCH website. Perhaps it might be best to try reducing the project size first.
There are some option in reducing size such as compressing images and sounds, removing sounds altogether, and trying to limit the number of scripts (especially the 'When green flag pressed' ones).
You may also consider the possibility of hosting the project on your own website instead if shrinking the file size is not feasible.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

What I'm going to do is make my game into two games.
When Fudge was born, he ate his legs and his hair so now he's bald and can't walk.

Re: Bigger File
Turning your project into two projects is definitely an option. However, I'd suggest cutting the sound files first. You can use Audacity to do it and it is probably a lot less work.

Re: Bigger File
Or if the backgrounds have lots of texts on them you might want to make the text a serperate sprite, for this cuts down a lot of kb without touching the music
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Or you can take that same background image and embed the text via a simple image editing program instead of the SCRATCH editing interface. Saves space and no need for an extra sprite.

Re: Bigger File
You can also upload it to Mediafire or other file hosting service, and then give out a download link to the public.
