A beginner's guide...

Welcome to the WorldVision Song Contest, based on the Eurovision Song Contest, aiming to provide and unite nations from different parts of the World through music. The WorldVision Song contest is an outlet to showcase the popular or native music of your nation. As with every contest, there are a few simple rules and regulations that you'll need to follow.

1. To start, you must sign up for the contest. Do so by using the form below and posting that you sign up in this thread. Make sure you sign up before the cutoff date. You won't be penalized if you sign up and don’t end up posting a song. You then post the song in the IC thread after a host vote (see previous contests to see what a "normal" post looks like).
2. At the end of the host bidding period, all nations which have signed up at that point may vote for the nation that will host the contest. Instructions will be posted by this account, and all host votes should be telegrammed to this account as well. The winning bidding nation will then create the IC thread.
3. The contest is based upon the Eurovision Song Contest: nations will "perform" their song. No real-life song can be entered into the WorldVision Song Contest; of course, the melody can be used (usually linked via YouTube). At least 80% of the song’s lyrics must be original, and translations are not allowed. Nations are free to choose to host a national final or internally select their representative. English is not compulsory, and other languages are encouraged.
4. Once the IC thread has been posted whenever the winning bidding nation chooses, nations will submit songs before the deadline. After the deadline nations may not edit or alter their song in any way, unless otherwise instructed by the Committee. Also, after the deadline and any interval act (wait for the signal from the host nation), nations vote, ranking their top ten songs in the following format: 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 in the IC thread. Nations may not vote for themselves. All nations that post a song in the IC thread must vote.

If you don't know how to sign up, use this form below; this should help. Not all of these fields have to be filled in, but it certainly helps.

Code: Select all

[b]Nation Name:[/b] Your nation's name goes here.
[b]Official Broadcaster:[/b] Your official broadcaster for WV goes here.
[b]Song Title:[/b] The IC Song title goes here.
[b]Artist(s) Name(s):[/b] The name of your act goes here.

[b]Tune:[/b] The real life tune you're basing your song on goes here.


1. A debutante nation cannot bid to host the WorldVision Song Contest. A nation must have entered and completed one edition in order to qualify to host a following edition. Furthermore, a nation that has put a host bid CANNOT vote for their own bid. This ensures a democratic and fair result.
2. At least 80% of the song’s lyrics must be original, and translations of real life songs will result in disqualification. If you suspect another entry to be either wholly or mostly plagiarised, please telegram the WorldVision Committee with your concerns. The committee will then review the entry before making a judgement. If your entry is disqualified for whatever reason, you will not be reinstated even if you edit your entry.
3. All nations that post a song in the IC thread must vote. Failure to do so will result in a one-contest ban.
   
4. Each nation may enter ONE puppet nation (that is another nation controlled by the same player); the master nation must confirm their puppet on the thread. Should a nation is found to be in breach of the one-puppet nation rule, sanctions and a disqualification will be put in place.
5. If a nation enters a puppet nation, the maximum amount of points that can be awarded to each nation is up to five points thus ensuring a fair and more equal chance for all nations to succeed within the Contest. If a nation is found to have awarded a higher amount of points, the Committee will first allow said nation to alter their votes. If said nation fails to adhere to Committee reminders, the votes will be rendered void and will result in disqualification. A user controlling a master and puppet nation together can only award a third nation a total of 18 points.
   
6. Under no circumstances will bullying, offensive and/or intimidating language or provocations of any form be accepted within the Contest, within both IC and OOC threads. WorldVision promotes peaceful and friendly environment. Failure to comply will result in disqualification. If at any point, you feel you are a victim, or feel someone has been victimized by another nation, contact the Committee, or a member of the Committee immediately. The Committee will ensure anonymity/confidentiality at all times.
   
7. Only the current host of a Contest or the WorldVision Committee can reveal results during the voting process. Conspiring with fellow users to rig any of the votes is illegal and will result in sanctions.
8. Users may "reserve" slots in the running order of the contest, but if you do so and don't finish your entry by the deadline, you will receive a one-contest ban. An entry is accepted if it has a complete set of lyrics, regardless of whether stage directions have been finalized or not. You may also state that you are withdrawing from the contest on the OOC thread.
9. Users may not edit their entries or votes after the deadlines for any reason, including spelling or grammatical errors, unless otherwise instructed to by the Committee. If you'd like to edit something in after the deadline, please ask the Committee for permission first.

So basically, be original, try to be fair, don't be a jerk, and have fun. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to TG the Committee- it helps if you add the Committee's individual member names (Antahbrantahstan, Kalosia, Togonistan, Todlichebujoku, Vartugia) in the "To:" box along with "WorldVision Committee" for a faster response.

Even if you've missed the deadline or aren't participating, feel free to discuss the contest in this thread or post commentary in the IC. You'll find that people greatly appreciate some good commentary.

With all that said, welcome to WorldVision!

Adab is in!

[The Federation of Kendor]

Since I'm not disqualified anymore, and still have my unshown song at my phone, can I reenter with the same song? And pretend that what happened was that for some reason, the band couldn't come and now, they can, with the same song they couldn't show earlier

Yes, of course!

You never did post your song (only the reservation post) which means we haven't gotten to see it nor vote on it. So I'd say go ahead

[Nekoni]

Yeah, sure.

[Darkmania]

We are in. Lets hope that we dont get any meme songs from a puppet of mine that is just here to troll.

[Vartugia]

We are in. Lets hope that we dont get any meme songs from a puppet of mine that is just here to troll.

DARKMANIA FOR COMMITTEE!!

---

Hello. My name is Darkmania and i run for the committee. Even if i did do it as Vartugia and this is for my second term, Vartugia has cursed us with their crap. So i run in order to kick him out.

My first term has been a rollercoaster. It has been something I have loved, and i have added some channels on Discord like #the-work-shop where you gets feedback on your slide making. I was the "brain" behind what I call "Active ChannelTopic" where we link links on the topic on the Discord. . A But my term has been marked with incidents where I did do something I regret, like making a joke about the Holocaust that was of poor taste in Discord. I am a human. I make mistakes. I am sorry. Im not Jewish, nor of Jewish descent, but still, not meant to be offensive.

I support

• Promote new blood to the Committee
• Making a WorldVision Song Contest-spinoff, but all have the same tune.
• A open Committee! (By making a Chairperson of the Committee)
• Freeing Izmedu from Mister X`s basement.
• More Taxes on you. 100% Tax on air.

K-pop në es semprë pop Koreánu

L’ešpanžju internažjunal dëla kulturë Koreánë, kompres la musikë, es kiámatu lë “Hallyu Wave”, e sia influénzë sta u Kalosia. Komë li kompositori Kalosiani stanu imprandu dëli artisti straneri, nia musikë pop or a pju elementu kë es imprututo dëli paési straneri.

Videl, per ešempju, le kanžuni kë invjamu al Festival dële Kanžuni di MonduVižju. Per noš, kestu komenšavë al 26° Festival a Shatilaurchev, Kišraél. Nia kanžju, kë së kiáma Numb, es statu kantatu d’unë kantorë kon un nom d’artë Koreánesku, Hyun. La kanžju në swonerebë strana se la kantorë es unë girlband Koreánë. La kanžu es arivatë 18° postu dëli 43 partišipanti, e n’erë popularu.

Ma në fërmu invjarë le kanžuni kon l’influénzë di K-pop. Dopu në partišipavamu u MonduVižju 37, tornamu a Polkopia kon Lonely Lover’s Club, d’unë girlband verë kë së kiáma Suzette. Loru kantavanu e baľavanu komë li artisti veri di K-pop. Alë finë, la komunita internažjunal loru pjašanu, komë la girlband es arivatë 4° postu e noš davanu lë meľor postu da La Sitriana dël grupo Dicktators a MonduVižju 30.

Finalmentë, invjavamu unë altrë girlband, EVE, a MonduVižju 52 a Langtree, li Mertšedini. Anki, la kanžju, Living, ava pju l’influénzë di K-pop e, per 2° voltë, vinšamu lë festival kon 99 punti. Es posibilë kë la kanžu erë popularë koli fans di MonduVižju perše un membru dël grupo, Eva Kruž, rëlašavë un kanžu kolë kantor Kalosianu a MonduVižju 51, Ruslan Ǧamal. Ma molti dëli spetatori në lo saperebere.

Montereu, nia prošimë speranzë

L’influénzë di K-pop torna ankorë. Per lë festival prošimu, Radiu-Televižju Kalosia a anonšatu kë loru invjeranu la girlband Montereu kola kanžu L’Amurë Rušmoresë. La musikë a un toku retro, e la kanžu parla — ala Lingwa Kalosianu — d’un homu kë vjaža ali nažjuni dëla Rušmorë, tšerkandu per l’amurë.
Montereu a partišipatu al 24° Festival dele Melodie Kalosiane (la seležju pelë 30° Gran Festival dëla Kanžu dëlë Mondu — WHF) kolë kanžu Ridu, Pianǧu, Amu, e arivatë 2° postu. A un konfërenzë dëla presë kon RTVK, loru parlanu kë liu nom es la tranzliteražju di Monterë u l’alfabetu Koreánu. Alorë, l’influénzë Koreánë ki es klaru.
