Welcome to the Draft Thread of the 5th Junior World Hit Festival! This will be the place where nations will work and post on their entry that I will then eventually transfer to the IC thread once it opens. The final deadline for posting entries is scheduled at
For this thread, you can use any format that you wish when posting your entry. The only things that will change as it is transferred to the IC thread will be the header (which will act as a link to your postcard and will be located at the top of your entry) as well as the text being aligned to the centre for uniformity's sake. Otherwise, the host nation will not alter the RP aspect in any major form, but minor additions are liable to be made that will only come at the very end of your entries.
The host reserves the right to make alterations to your RP when copying it over to the IC thread. However, these alterations will be limited to cleaning up the formatting as well as adding (not deleting) RP regarding the situation in the arena (i.e. how the audience reacted). Substantial/major alterations will not be made without written permission, and any further changes to an entry within the IC thread will only be done upon written request by the user behind it, and with host discretion

Additional Miscellaneous Information
RP and Stage Info: When determining your performance, you are highly encouraged to refer to the host bid post as you write your RP. If you have any questions about specific stage effects or trying to see what is/isn't possible on the stage, don't be afraid to ask the host through the JWHF5 OOC thread, via an NS telegram or via a Discord DM.
What is a Complete Entry?: A complete entry, by technical definition, is an entry on the draft thread with a usable tune and a complete set of lyrics (all stanzas, verses etc. covered). Which means, I can transfer a post with just pure lyrics onto the IC thread and mark it as a complete entry. However, I encourage all nations to put in RP to your entries. It makes the entry look far more complete than just lyrics on the page, and while it won't guarantee higher points, it will signal to the WHF community that you are putting in effort. What will not be transferred is an entry with incomplete lyrics or just a header.
Additional Information on Headers: You are highly encouraged for this edition to include the names of your song's IC producers and IC lyric writers. This information will go on your header. A header template for the draft thread can be found below, however, your entry will receive a graphic displaying most of the information in the IC thread. However, you are not required to use this particular header for this draft thread, as you are free to use whatever format you use, as long as you give all the information required.
