OOC Thread – IC Thread
Bienvenidos, nations of the world! Welcome to the Draft Thread for the 7th Junior World Hit Festival which is due to take place in Juana Díaz and Urbania, Achaean Republic for the first time ever. Here, you will be able to post and work on your entries, where I will eventually transfer them onto the IC Thread, and the contest shall begin. The final deadline will be Sunday, September 29 at 6:00 PM EST/11:00 PM BST. You will be allowed to make small edits, as I move the entries - a 24 hour grace period basically. Once this has all been done, entries will be considered final and ready to compete.
There aren't many rules regarding the formatting of your entry, apart from the header, which I as host will supply, and edit to fit the running order of the contest etc. The header is also there to align entries with a common theme, that will look much more visually appealing. In addition, the host is permitted to make small RP additions before and after the entry, but not any major RP that you have worked on. This can be seen:
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.

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 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.
