LUZIYCA ANNOUNCES ENTRY FOR WORLDVISION 28

Earlier this morning, at 10:00 am Bethlehem Time (9:00 am Gijirokastra Time, 8:00 am Yerevan Time), ITV finally made a decision in its internal final for WorldVision. Laine Cheyanne was born on March 15th, 1998 in Moglinov, Kashui, but moved to Yerevan when she was one and now lives there. With her entry, "Conspiracy of Silence," entirely written and composed by herself, she will represent the Christian Republic of Luziyca in WorldVision 28. The reason why it was delayed was a "too close to call" situation between Laine, with the "Conspiracy of Silence", and the trio from Luziycan Ataahua, Rongo with "Ohana." After a revote, Laine Cheyanne has won by 13 votes above Ohana.

The list of candidates for the WV28 entry were seen here, out of the 100 people who were chosen to vote (hypothetical 1,000 points to spend).

1. Conspiracy of Silence, Laine - 493
2. Ohana, Rongo (mixture of Hawaiian, Maori and classical music) - 480
3. Not Another Country Song, Arosk Himova - 179
4. I'll Cut Ya!, Edvard Asbjerg - 20
5. An Ode to Whitenes, Barney Yoko, 6
6. The Peaceful Song, Noah Swidzinski, 1
7. Goodbye Haclav!, Serhio Negdel, 0
8. Civilizing the Whitey, Sifa Mungu, 0
9. Geadish Funeral March, Sofja (duet), 0
10. Duva, Mary Hart, 0

Hence, ITV wishes good luck to Laine Cheyanne as she represents our fatherland in WV28, even if it is at home, in her hometown.

Kalusia is bidding! Woo! Look at my amazing graphics! (not so much)

WorldVision 28 Host Bid - Borē, Kalusia

Kalusia is bidding to host the WorldVision contest in Borē. The bid's motto is Together Tomorrow, and the main logo is a double eigth note, which is the musical equivalent of ''together''.

First, let's talk about Kalusia. Kalusia is an incredibly densely populated nation in the North East of Mazeria. Bordered by Rahenistan and The Mazerian Dictorate in the south and Khorrenia in the north, it is split in twelve districts, all named after the main city in the district. One of those is Borē, which is pronounced as the English would pronounce ''bore''. But Borē is far from boring. Borē is the fourth largest city of Kalusia (after the capital Blêrtn, Nôrtâl and Kârtâfn), but by far the most touristic. That's of course because of the Borēan Lagoon, but also because of the cultural centre of the city. About 600.000 people find their homes in Borē, and at least 100.000 more travel to Borē everyday to work in it. Borē knows a temperate to warm climate, and when the contest will be held, the average temperature in Borē (along with the rest of Kalusia, excluding the island of Trêmens) is 15 degrees Celsius. Transport from the airport in Blêrtn to the hotel in Borē (which we will talk about in a little) will take no more than an hour, and will be done through typical yellow taxis which are found throughout Kalusia, and are the part of Kalusia most people are most proud of. One of these will be arranged for the act of each nation. If a nation's act happens to send more than 12 people for the main act, a coach will be supplied.

As for the accomodation, this will actually be Tezlâfn, a suburb of Borē. However there still is little travelling required, because whenever the artists need to go to the Teatêr, they will be driven by their personal chauffeur, in the yellow taxi. The accomodation during the stay will be in the Lezîn Tezl âv Otêrn *****, best known as ''the Lezîn'' (pronounced lay-tsing). Although it's not the best of the hotels available in the area, but it's the most scenic, with as main attraction the private beach. Half of the hotel will be reserved for the WorldVision delegations, and the other half will be used for fans, and prereservations the hotel had already made.

The location where the actual contest will be held at is the Asart Teatêr. It's not actually a theatre, as the name may suggest, though. The Kalusian word ''teatêr'' is often stretched, and the Kalusian dictionary defines it as ''a location where one has the oppurtunity to enjoy live or prerecorded performances''. This includes all theatres, music halls, opera houses and even cinemas. Despite all this, the Asart is officially a theatre. However, the rows of seats can be lowered, and the back wall of the theatre can be rolled up and lifted to form a music hall that can contain 12000 souls. This may not be the largest, even closer to the smallest, but still it should be considered a location full of ambiance. The stage will be in the form of a star, outlined with lights, with a darker path leading to a smaller star also outlined with lights. Asart is equipped with some of the finest light technics (if you hadn't figured it out already, Kalusians love lighting, in their acts and stages), but is also capable of performing tricks with fire, and on arrangement, water sprinklers can be hooked up for usage during the act. There's no worries for getting the floor of the stage slippery or wet, since the stage is floored with rubber, and will be dried after an act whenever necissary.

Postcards

This bid is going to put the ''postcard'' in ''postcards'' again. ICly, there will appear a postcard on the screen, with on the front the OOC postcard, which will look something like the logo. Example (for the hypothetical Heltigan entry last edition): coming soon Then, it will open, and show some of the natural beauty, cultural beauty or any other kind of beauty the nation has to offer, while playing a version of the national anthem, in an alternative instrument. A piano will be used for scenic highlights, a violin for cultural et cetera.

Any questions are welcome.

AHAVAH HAZA FOR KISHRAEL

Today, KTV have announced their act for the WorldVision Song Contest 28. Ahavah Haza is a controversial singer, especially in the more conservative sects of Kishraeli society. Known for her liberal views in all areas of public life, but especially sex, her announcement has whipped up a storm in the WorldVision media sects as to what her song may contain. The title has already been released, and is known as "I Play The Trumpet", and one can already imagine what the title stands for. The lyrics were written by Ahavah herself, and she describes them as "What any girl who is madly in love with someone would want to say, but couldn't for fear of the consequences." Ahavah has also already dropped some hints as to what will be going on as she performs: "We will turn the WorldVision into a circus of love for three minutes when we perform on that stage. Right now, because we don't actually know what the stage will look like I can't confirm anything, but we have a number of options open to keep it interesting".

Taxies that can move faster than the speed of a rocket?

It's not our fault us Vampirians are technically advanced. Plus, it's not how the taxi look, but how fast it can run. Haha

Our yellow taxis may not be like the American ones, but I can assure that should WorldVision come to Kalusia, newer vans will be used.

by **Zavlia** » Fri Aug 23, 2013 3:29 am

Zavlia is entering a host bid

Introduction
The theme for Zavlia’s entry is “experience life”. This based on old Zavlian philosophy where it was believed that in order to live a full life and become a wise person, you had to experience life, both the highs and lows, love and hate, your culture and other cultures, winning and losing, hope and despair.
Azila Bakulula
wife of King Attatu, who embedded this philosophy into Zavlian way of life.

The city
Al Jerinamli is located in Cemlikha, the eastern state along the east Zavlian coastline. It is a very popular holiday resort with many nationalities across the world flocking for the white sand beaches, belly dancing, open air markets and a taste of traditional Zavlian life. The city dates back to 18BC where it was a haven for Zavlian and Kazalstani traders who would travel through the vast desert of Ulanzira to trade pottery, tools and jewellery. The city has many hotels and restaurants as well as a large theme park. The market district covers an area of 5km squared, where people can walk through experiencing the food, clothing, art and craft etc of Zavlia. Here you can hear traditional music being played on each avenue or “Triklav”. Al Jerinamli people are known for being down to earth, warm and welcoming. It is where Zavlians travel to on holiday and many from big industrial areas own second properties in Al Jerinamli.
Zavlian is of course spoken by the residents; however, many will speak English as a foreign language, and depending on their high school will also speak Hebrew, Anollasian, Euskal or Kingfordian.

Transport
Al Jerinamli has a major international airport to the south of the city which is a 40min drive from the major hotels and an hour from the arena. It has three terminals. T1 for El Zav flights only (Zavlia’s flag carrier), T2 for major international airlines, T3 for all other airlines.
The city itself is served by a tram system which covers all neighbourhoods in Al Jerinamli and is the best mode of transport in the city. Tickets are subsidised by the government, (government owned) a day tickets across the whole system costing 6Zavs (£2). Central Station is where cross country trains can be found.
There are taxis in the city, but these are quite expensive 25Zavs (£8.30) for 10km.

Al Jerinamli trams

Arena
Avvarashi Ontimalav is the arena for the contest named after King Avvarashi II who unified the seven Zavlian states together. It was built in 1980 and can seat 20,000 people.

The stage has one main screen and two side screens which images, videos etc can be played on. At the front of the stage the Zavlian national orchestra will be playing the music and conducted by Timur Onc, famous conductor who has conducted all the Zavlian entries to WorldVision. Whilst the performers will be on a rised stage behind the orchestra. This is big enough to fit 40 people on at once. There are left and right wings where the acts will enter and exit the stage from.
The evening will be hosted by Gori and Hazal who are extremely experienced as they host the Zavlian national finals and present the Zavlian commentary.

Entertainment
Walking around the streets in the day, you will hear and certainly see the traditional bands and dancers. In the evening, Al Jerinamli comes alive with bars and clubs. If you travel further out of the city you will find many parks and wildlife parks that you can walk through. Back on the beach, there are often BBQ parties open to everyone so just bring along something to cook and join in!

Accommodation
In Al Jerinamli, there is a district which is where all the hotels can be found. Contestants may choose which hotel they stay at, however, one example is “The White Dove hotel”. Pictures of the room and lobby can be seen below. The hotel has a 24hour reception, spa and swimming pool.

Postcards
Postcards will have a dove (The symbol of Zavlia) with the country’s flag and a word in the country’s language as well as the Zavlian translation.

OOC: Sorry for the small font on the images, it looked a bit better in Paint

Welcome to Egero City! With over 12,000,000 people residing in the area, this is the third-largest city in the nation. However, almost 30% of the population lives under the poverty line, with most of them in the 7 poorer districts known as Chimos. Nonetheless, the city is turning around, with no way but up. Above we can see, clockwise from left, the National Museum on Caci Island, a view of Pico Beach and Mont Micheli, the cliffside homes and hotels popularized by the rich and famous, and another view of Pico Beach, this side the more popular with locals. But this is only the beginning! Come on and see the many things we have to offer.

The city was founded by Catholic missionaries in 1831, and over 90% of the population are practicing Catholics. In 1981, the Statue of Christ Everlasting was erected on the top of Mont Kurat, standing over 1400 feet above the city. Pilgrims flock to the statue for its unexplained healing powers and Marian apparations. Another Catholic tradition, seen on your bottom left, is our annual Fiesta. Running for a week before Easter, 1 million people gather on Cooper and Pyle as carabezos, or schools of dance, battle it out with elaborate costumes and performances to be known as the "Reina de la Fiesta". The entire city shuts down, and the celebrations begin! Egerans are known to be very happy, party-loving people, and are sure to welcome you with open arms (maybe even a drink or two!) Whether it be on the beach, in town or wherever you may go, there's always someone to make you feel at home.

All Worldvision participants, along with their respective delegations, will be staying at the HVTEL XX, a new 4-star tower in the middle of City Park. Built in 2009, it provides stunning views of the city, along with world-class ammenities for you to enjoy, such as free wi-fi, cable tv, shower and tub, a Thai spa, space-age themed rooms by Copperfield Design, and the famous Central Fruit Market right outside your door. With rooms for 1 to 6 persons, up to 45 nations can be accomodated in the 564 rooms spread across 16 levels. Animals are also welcome, and a shuttle can drive people to wherever they want around the city.

Welcome to Brenton Arena! The largest stadium in the Coastal Region, there's room for 65,000 fans in the seats, and another 5,000 on the field, where the stage will be. Right on the Ysodo Bay, its open and retractable roof lets the cool sea breeze flow in, providing a natural air conditoner. In and around the arena are numerous dining, shopping and other entertainment facilities. While some may say it's a bit of an eyesore or too big for Worldvision, its size also makes it safe and ideal for even the most elaborate pyrotechnics, lighting and your performance in general. Hosting almost 30 concerts last year, it's a tried and tested venue, and is sure to make this edition one of the best.

They say the world is your stage, well here's your world for the big night. Designed by a team of Kalosian and Bloodbathian architects, you can see the model above. It's a very simple design, with a main stage, and a runway on the left and right. However, an interesting addition to this otherwise generic stage is the mosh pit. This pit can hold up to 1,500 people inside, but is open, so people can go in and out. It lets fans get closer to the stage and artist(s) than ever before, and is what makes this stage so special. Safety is a priority, and fans in the pit will have to be moved if fireworks are involved (anything not harmful like water and stuff is still ok.) The screens, as seen on the bottom left and top right, can be seperated into smaller screens, which can be rotated, moved, etc. A long rectangular screen above the main screen will also be added for the show.

After the show, contestants will come to the green room. We took the "green" a bit literally. Situated on top of the Brenton Arena,the Simmons Green Room will feature lounges, gardens, green space and just a place to hang out and have fun. The area around the retractable roof will be open, and contestants can easily go back and forth into the arena by elevators and stairs. About the lounges; each of them will have 2 levels, with a bar, numerous TV's to watch the show, and a dancefloor (if you still have the energy!) Before and after the show, fans can visit the green room and have a little more Worldvision-themed fun.

Now you've got the lay of the land. With sights to see, a sea to explore and more, what's there not to do? The nightlife in Egero City has always been bustling with activity, and now more than ever, with the Nightclub District having a new adventure every block, every night. In the bottom left, you see the screens, over 40x40 feet in size, which will be on Pico Beach and in the City Center so everyone can watch the show live, just as it is on TV and in the arena. First tried out during last years Worldvision, over 500,000 people watched on these public screens, and it was described as "surreal" and "stunning" by local media. There's a whole lot of people to meet, friends to make and things to discover. Go on a journey, and see what you can find for yourself!

Other Stuff

Postcards: As shown as an example here, they will be almost exactly like the logo, but with the nation name, song and artist (in that order) made in the colors of the flag, or any other requested color(s).
