We are happy to announce that voting for the 83rd WorldVision Song Contest is now OPEN
As always, post your 12, 10, 8 7-1 points on the IC thread, alongside your televoting scores using the form linked below.
For rules and regulations please see this post. As we said, we would discuss what the exact weightings would be for the televote, and we have decided on the following provisionally:
1 = -6.0, 2 = -3.0, 3 = -1.0, 4 = 0, 5 = 1, 6 = 3, 7 = 6, 8 = 10, 9 = 15, 10 = 25
Note on standard weightings: I repeat that this is provisional weightings for this edition until we see more televotes come in, given particular that the votes thus far have been much more positive than last edition (thanks!), we may change some weightings to provide a better spread for the this, or next edition. In the event that such things will be changed, they will be at proportional increments and not be at detriment to the placing of anyone in the top 3 of the televote. As this weighting is based on limited data, we thank you for your patience while we get this right! We will then have this firmly in place for next edition.
Additional weightings changes: As stated in the televote regulations, 10% of the voters can receive 0 points before we will change the standard weightings - this means that this edition if
5 nations receive 0 points from the televote, we will amend the standard formula which we have agreed upon but only for this one edition, the standard weighting is to be used otherwise.
Find below the form for the televote if you have not found it already. You have until
27th July, 20:00 BST, best of luck!
