Just a couple questions before I make a sign-up..

1. Do the songs have to be sung in English?

2. Does the song have to be completely original?

It can be any language you want and the tune of the song can be a real-life song, however you have to change the lyrics and re-write them yourself.

1. No. It can be any language you want, although it is advised to provide a translation for any language other than English.

2. Yes. Or atleast, the lyrics have to be 80% or more original. Seeing as twenty percent of a song is almost nothing, just see it as a yes. This question was, however, already answered in the rules, namely rule 2. I would advise you to read them if you haven't or re-read them if you have, just to be sure (as certain rule infractions will lead to disqualification and such).

I'm happy to accept this award and would like to thank the ENN. I'm glad the Wazekian population is more in tune with the WorldVision community, because WAZTEL's commentator certainly isn't.

Someone decided to write a song out of 25 tunes put back-to-back a few editions ago. In theory it took about 75 minutes.

WorldVision is based on the real life Eurovision Song Contest, where songs have a 3 minute maximum limit. 3-5 minutes is good I guess, what matters more is the song you're sending - if your song will be based on an existing tune, then just make your song length the same as the tune you're using.

Is 118 words enough? Take in mind that the last 15 and first around 30 are slowly sung.

You could do one word, if you truly wish. Although, take a look at Eurovision, take a look at the current hits and such. How many contain only 118 words (honestly, I never counted but I would assume that it'd be more, unless you're looking at a repetitive rap song or such)?

What I'm trying to say is, 'interesting', 'quirky' things have been done but they don't tend to do well. You want to do well? Do what everyone else does. You want to be 'special' (in so far as that's possible with everything that has already happened here)? Don't expect to end high, as most everyone who tries doesn't.

Edit: Just counted the first part of Heroes. 118 words would be rather slim, although it could be doable for a simple song or something that a *shudders* DJ would make nowadays.

I actually have all the songs I plan to send with any nation up to WV41 decided, and an NF planned for WV42 - would be way too early if only other people weren't doing the same. I'll announce my (and my puppet's) entry on Saturday, the IC date for FMK12.

The limit does not exist.

Technical things like these don't really matter, most (if not all) of us take into consideration the quality (and/or effort) of the lyrics and your performance, and often the tune you use (if any) during voting.

Still, it helps that the Pracib NF is the only one you need to look out for. Because, as everyone knows: #pracibawv40winner #blessed

PAN VERONAN SONG CONTEST


All dialogue translated from Takiyami




''And the winner is... Dmitra Yarakinsk!'' The crowd roars. The Pan Veronan Song Contest for the URV's WV40 entrant was over, and Dmitra Yarakinsk won again, after representing the URV the previous year at Rowland. In the final, where there were 23 entrants, each representing a region of the URV. Dmitra had successfully won the Kurakay regional qualifier for the national final again, and she rocked the finals with 72% of the vote.

''But thats not all! You'll need to vote for the song she will perform on the night! The 3 songs to vote for will appear on screen. Voting will open now and close in 2 days and you can do so on the PVBN website, at pvbn.vr. Thank you for voting and good night!










Please simply TG me your favourite, so if you prefer ''No Home'' just TG me ''No Home is the song I wish to vote for''
