[Sophia City]

That's not really what I was going for... I was really going for more of a city theme really, considering we're a city-state ourselves. They really don't have to be video, but you can start with our flag, as it's a rather simple one.

[Palmouth]

Palmouth would prefer country based postcards, to make it fair.

Hmm... what do you mean by a city theme? What sort of things would you want in the postcards? (i.e. buildings, people, scenes, etc.)

[Sophia City]

Palmouth would prefer country based postcards, to make it fair.

Indeed, my original idea was to have views of the capital or other major city of particpating countries, but I don't really think that will work, because we don't know how every nation's cities look like.

I guess any combination of those will do really... we'll see what we can get.

The 2008 Postcards featured the flag, a Serbian staple, and a letter from the performers in their native language.

The 2009 Postcards featured the Miss World from Russia, buildings of the performing nation, and her hair and T-shirt would feature the colors of the country that would perform. Next, a romanized expression in Russian with its meaning in English happened, and then the performance.

To make it different, you can have the staples of the country (being a city-state, there should be more than 30 buildings and monuments), featuring performers, and the flag of the nation.

Or, you can do the postcards on-scenario. Quickly after a band performs, Sophian people make a performance and create the flag of the nation that performs next, either in English or French, and its native tongue.

I'll change my flag.

...why French?

[Achalya Santis]

French and English are the official languages of many organizations, take it the EBU. Meanwhile, only one language can be used, and the host country's.

[Filbertiana]

Can someone please tell me HOW Filbertiana got even ONE vote, let alone three?

Well he could have voted for himself, which explains the one vote. The other two, I really have no idea.

Please a piece of respect I was recizing images for this thread about 15 minutes-every image!And I uploaded my Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 presentation with photos of my hotel(everyone can choose his and have the free holiday in our country)!!!

Do anyone did better?We uploaded photos of our nature,presenter,presentation...What to do more?!

[Swilatia]

I'd guess that most countries vote based on which country they think will do the best hosting... not the country with the longest bid post... I remember in WorldVision 3, the winning host bid, form Bazalonia, was only 2 lines long and had no pics.

[Cachette de Lions]

Right, so let me see if this is the idea we're thinking of for the postcards... you want famous buildings from Sophia City. Then, a welcome message in the language of the country about to perform, followed by the country's flag. For the background music... you could either have a different Sophia City band in each postcard, or they could each feature a band from the country about to be shown. Thoughts on that idea?

[Sophia City]

Yeah, that will work... the other idea is to use buildings from other participating countries, but I already metnioned the problem with that...

Yeah, it's a good idea. I'm also very sick of this forum always logging me out.

Congrutilations,Sophia City!!!You had the great bid and deserved win!

Can our president watch WorldVision in Sophia City

[Kingsley Bedford]

So, as the host, we'll say yes to postcards, and no to a draw. We're not sure how to do the postcards though. Cachette de Lions, you said you might be able to do some?

I can do some. What themes do you have in mind?

[Kingsley Bedford]

Kingsley Bedford is proud of its flag and would like it to feature in our postcard as its a main part of our national culture

[Filbertiana]

Filbertian flag also with nature and city of my country(Swiss and Austrian type at most/of city and nature).

The last few posts were about this... we decided that they should feature buildings, a message in the language of the country about to perform (ex. Polish for Sophia City) and with the flag of that country appering somewhere in the postcard. A popular song that is not a WorldVision entry goes in the backround.

The last question is whether to use buildings from the country about to perform, or the host country.

I sugest that we find a new person to run things because this very disturbing that he thinks that he is the ultumate power and he has the right to expel anybody in the comp

[Swilatia]

I do not feel I have the right kick any-one I want from the contest... you should read up on the rules of the contest... cover versions of RL songs are not allowed. So I asked if you were going to follow it this time, and you chose to turn it into an argument about last year's entry.

Given your entry and votes in the last contest I think it's only fair that you at least confirm that your song is original. I read through your lyrics several times, and they were the same as an RL song. That is against the rules. When you were asked to provide one line of lyrics you'd written yourself, you didn't reply.

Now, about your votes...
