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.
This edition, there will be a change to the format of the contest. Instead of just a Signups/OOC and an IC thread, there will be a third thread called a Draft thread. Signups continue as usual, and when the time comes participating nations will post their entries and commentary in the Draft thread. Later, the host nation will determine a running order, and will move all the entries into the IC thread. Later, you will take into consideration the entry as it is on the IC thread when you vote. The voting procedure then remains unchanged.
Only the host will post on the IC thread (your content goes in the Draft thread and will be copied over by the host). This allows a neater IC thread, and the ability to add mini breaks halfway through the show.
You can use the most recent World Hit Festival (WHF17) as a reference. It is a bit different to the current format, so if there's anything confusing you feel free to ask questions!
