World Hit Festival 17 | OOC Thread

Postby Kalosia » Sat May 02, 2015 5:50 am



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 (WHF16) as a reference. Also feel free to ask questions here!

Schedule
Signup submission deadline: 16 May
Entry posting period: 16/17 May - 30 May
Voting submission period: 30 May - 6 June
The host will post the votes within a week of the final deadline.


Signing up
To sign up, fill the form below. You do not have to have a complete initial sign-up. A post saying that you'll participate is okay, but you'll have to complete the rest eventually. If you want to have a national final, feel free to post it in this thread.
Code: Select all
[box][b]Nation:[/b]
[b]Broadcaster:[/b]

[b]Song Title:[/b]
[b]Artist:[/b]
[b]Language(s):[/b]
[b]Title Transcription (if required):[/b]
[b]Title Translation (if required):[/b]
[b]Tune:[/b] [/box]


The form will look like the contents of the spoiler below. In the spoiler, there is also an explanation of each part.
Nation: Self-explanatory
Broadcaster: Each nation has a broadcaster, usually the national broadcaster, who will transmit the show in your nation. For example, the BBC is the UK broadcaster for Eurovision and broadcasts the event to the UK.

Song Title: Self-explanatory
Artist: The artist who will perform the song. You are expected to RP the performance in the IC thread later on.
Language(s): The languages of the song's lyrics.
Title Transcription (if required): If your song's title is in another alphabet, then this is where you fill the romanized title (for example, a song whose original title is "Мамо" would be romanized as "Mamo". Otherwise, you can omit this part completely.
Title Translation (if required): If your song's title is in another language, fill in the English translation here. Otherwise, you can omit this part completely.
Tune: Most songs in the World Hit Festival use the melody of an already existing tune, and the user only rewrites the lyrics. Self-written tunes are rare, but welcomed and appreciated. Some users choose to not use a tune for their song, but if you do, write here the tune which you are using.

If you want to see an example, scroll down, since experienced nations are more likely to sign up earlier.

Kalosia is the overseer and is in charge of the World Hit Festival.

The Kalosian entry will be determined through a national final as usual: Festival di Melodi Kalosiana 11. Thus, more will be revealed later and I will complete the sign-up form when all the required info has been gathered.

Same here. I have to edit out the "/?#" part for it to work.

Also, Tödlichebujoku returns. Hopefully the third time will be the charm here.

It's because I did the submission from my Kindle, so the links - for some reason - won't work on computers. Normally, I do stuff on my laptop but sometimes I'm forced onto the Kindle.

All of the above have been accepted and added to the OP.

I'll try to pull in some more people so that there are more participants. For now, contemplate the fact that WHF has always been about the music - I don't think we've seen any deaths in any of the 16 editions so far. Please don't try to change that

In my mind WV has all the trashy mainstream pop whereas WHF has the real artistry.

Also I've updated the schedule on the OP, it'll pretty much run in parallel to Worldvision although the dates were determined completely separately.

I initially preferred WHF to WV for this reason when I joined NS (I also debuted here first), and prior to WHF12 the contest ran much faster and there were more participants, but the previous overseer won at least half of those contests. This almost died with the overseer's inactivity so I'm trying to revive it. Barely any of the older participants are still active on NS, including the founder.

I'll have to see the dates for the next WV, especially considering they're having their 40th edition (it might possibly take longer than usual and, if that's the case, signups for the next WV and WHF may start near each other but WHF might wrap up while WV is still ongoing).
