A beginners guide...

The WorldVision Song Contest, based on the Eurovision Song Contest aims to provide and unite nations from different parts of the World through music. The WorldVision Song contest is an outlet to showcase the popular or native music of your nation. As with every contest, there are a few simple regulations that need to be adhered to.

1. The contest is based upon the Eurovision Song Contest: nations will "perform" their song whenever they choose, and after the deadline and any interval act if appropriate, nations vote, ranking their top ten songs in the following format: 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Nations may not vote for themselves.
2. No real-life song can be entered into the WorldVision Song Contest; of course, the melody can be used but at least 80% of the lyrics must be re-written. Translations of real-life songs will result in immediate disqualification.
3. Nation's are free to choose to host a national final or internally select their representative.
4. It is compulsory to vote. Failure to do so will result in a one-contest ban.
5. Each nation may enter ONE puppet nation; the master nation must confirm their puppet. Should a nation is found to be in breach of the one-puppet nation rule, sanctions and a disqualification will be put in place.
6. A debutante nation cannot bid to host the WorldVision Song Contest. A nation must have entered and completed one Contest in order to qualify to host a Song Contest. Furthermore, a nation that has put a host bid CANNOT vote for their own bid. This ensures a democratic, and fair result.
7. If a nation enters a puppet nation, the maximum amount of points that can be awarded to each nation is up to five points thus ensuring a fair and more equal chance for all nations to succeed within the Contest. If a nation is found to have awarded a higher amount of points, the committee will first allow said nation to alter their votes. If said nation fails to adhere to Committee reminders, the votes will be rendered void and will result in disqualification.
8. If you suspect another entry to be either wholly or mostly plagiarised, please telegram the WorldVision Committee with your concerns. The committee will then review the entry before making a judgement. If your entry is disqualified for whatever reason, you will not be reinstated even if you edit your entry.
9. Only the current host of a Contest or the WorldVision Committee can reveal results during the voting process.
10. Under no circumstances will bullying, offensive and/or intimidating language or provocations of any form be accepted within the Contest, within both IC and OOC threads. WorldVision promotes peaceful and friendly environment. Failure to comply will result in disqualification. If at any point, you feel you are a victim, or feel someone has been victimized by another nation, contact the Committee, or a member of the Committee immediately. The Committee will ensure anonymity/confidentiality at all times.
11. Conspiring with fellow users to rig any of the votes is illegal and will result in sanctions.

Talvezout E Mouzeh returns this year, this time with a new twist. All entries this year must be at least 75% non-English, with no songs being allowed to have an English title. The change came after several protests regarding the contest as not being representative enough of Talvezout's many cultures. This year, 8 songs will be fighting it out for the role of representing Talvezout in Worldvision 42; you the viewer, get to choose who will win. Send your votes to me in a 1-8 format, with 8 being your favorite song, and et cetera.

You'll be OK, I reckon. I'm from the UK and PG13 is the equivalent of 12A over here, which contains strong language.

And on that bombshell, Missus X will enter Rick Leg (again) singing a to be determined song to the tune of Carol Vorderman.

If Carol ever reads this, don't take it personally, you're a Goddess.

I'm also from the UK. It's more a warning of "oh, he says the f-word. Oh my."

And I'm more a Rachel Riley man myself...though yay Countdown and stuff.
