Ekoz had won the previous World Hit Festival, and traditionally, the winner gets to host the next edition. However, the winning nation has given up their hosting rights, so the honour of hosting has been passed to the runner-up, Tödlichebujoku, and that's where we'll be for the next World Hit Festival!
About + How It Works
The World Hit Festival (WHF) is a song competition. Each participating nation may enter 1 song and artist into the contest, and it will be performed. Lyrics must be written by the user, thus no instrumental songs are allowed. Users may enter up to 2 more puppet nations, adding to a total of 3 overall.
Later, each nation must vote for their favourites by giving 5 points to their favourite song, 4 points to their 2nd favourite, and so on. Nations are only allowed to get a maximum of 8 points from the user's puppets (meaning that, Nation 1 can receive 4 points from Nation 2 and Nation 3 each, if all 3 nations belong to the same user. Nations 2 and 3 can still receive points from each other.)
Votes are to be submitted by telegram to the host country, who will publish them. Afterwards, a winner will be announced and the current edition of the WHF will end, and signups for the next WHF will be opened.
You can use the most recent World Hit Festival (WHF15) as a reference. Also feel free to ask questions here!
