It may be only our second time competing, but Nebesa has felt ready to host the thirty-second edition of the WorldVision Song Contest. Hence, the honor to bid (obviously) goes to our largest city, Nebesa. The Nebesa WorldVision Hosting Committee (NWVHC, Luziycan: Nebesa MundiVidena Khozyain Komitet, Ninggalake: Swarga DonyaSesanti tuan rumah Komite) as such is pleased to present the Nebesinan bid for the thirty-second edition of the contest, which not only would bring it to Esquarium, but enable us to showcase our national culture, from the culture which the Luziycans have brought forth, to the traditional Aborigine cultures, to the Ebycenian culture that we obtained through our colonization of northeastern Ebycene, and all the other cultures that have come forth to Nebesina within its history that spanned 226 years since the landing of Captain Kuznet's ship in 1788.
A view of Nebesa from the Harbor at sunset
Welcome to Nebesa. Home to 6,757,083 people, it is largest city in Nebesina, albeit not the capital: that is the third largest city, Kuznets. As such, it is a major economic center in Nebesa, being home to the Nebesa Stocks and Securities Exchange, formed by a merger in 1994 of the Nebesa Stock Exchange and the Ovitsa Stock Exchange. Nebesa is often the place where most international flights to Nebesina arrive, and as such has traditionally been imprinted in the minds as urban Nebesina, while the rest is seen as, well, the Outback (Luziycan: Vildmark, Ninggalake: Metubali).
There are several ways to get into Nebesa. The most common way is by air to the Nebesa-Catherine International Airport, which is the only airport into Nebesina. It has three terminals: an international terminal, and two domestic terminals. There is also a small fourth passenger terminal, and a freight terminal. As such, Nebesa-Catherine is the busiest airport in Nebesina. It is 10 km from the city center, but is surrounded on three sides by suburbs of Nebesa. It has great transport links, with taxis, buses and a monorail line connecting the airport to the Central Business District.
Another way in is by ship: Nebesa Harbor is the country's largest harbor, mainly in container movements, though cruise ships do stop by Nebesa, especially across the Central Ocean to various countries like Luziyca, and on ships from St. John's in Quebec to as far south as Mumbai in Inyesula.
The city has a monorail, mainly serving tourists in the Downtown loop, and an Airport line. However, if you want to actually leave the city center, there are buses, using the NovaBus standard, complete with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The fares on both the monorail and the buses being Д0.50 ($1.11) for children aged 5 to 13, and seniors aged 65 and older, Д1.00 ($2.21) for those aged 13 to 21, Д2.00 ($4.42) for those aged 21 to 65.
There are also taxis, but depending on the one you choose, you may pay more (generally identified by white cabs) than what you want (cheap service? Go yellow, with no luxuries), although the white ones are great if you want to ride with Wi-Fi, valet drink service, and being allowed to go in for a few minutes to get food or whatever you need.

A variety of attractions can be found, from the Gurumarra Zoological Park, to the Star City Casino. If you're in the mood for sports, we got a wide variety of choices. If you are a fan of equestrian racing or want to support it, come to the Mulberry Downs where all types of horse racing occur. For association football, come on over to Telstra Stadium, with room for 84,000 audience members (82,500 if arranged in an oval). Nebesa has a thriving arts scene, with many Nebesinan record studios in languages from English, French, Luziycan, Ninggalake, and other languages based in Nebesa.
The nightclub in the picture is the Marquee, one of Nebesa's most popular places to hang out. With Nebesa having no restrictions on operating hours of bars and nightclubs in the Central Business District, the Marquee operates 24 hours, 7 days a week, and 364 days a year (it is only closed on Christmas Day). For a week before, during and after WV, the Marquee will be the WorldClub, themed after WorldVision 32. Participants, media, and national delegations are invited into the WorldClub. Thus, the Marquee will close its doors to non-accredited personnel at 8:00 pm, local time, meaning if you don't have your WV pass identifying you as an accredited WV member, you are not allowed into the Marquee. At 10:00 am, the club reopens to non-accredited personnel, meaning that you can party all night as music from both this edition and past editions of the WorldVision Song Contest is played, plus fabled Nebesinan songs like Waltzing Matilda.
As a matter of fact, lots of nightclubs exist within Nebesa, each catering to specific niches, so if you got classical music? There's a nightclub. Asian? Nightclub for that. Modern? Nightclub as well. Basically, every conceivable genre has at least a nightclub in Nebesa. It also has a lively bar scene so if you want booze and you are 18 and over, you can drink to your heart's delight.
Worried about safety? Never fear. If you call 9-1-1, emergency services will come in less than ten minutes if you get injured, robbed, raped, et cetera. And don't have enough to pay for healthcare? Nebesina has absolute universal healthcare, meaning every Nebesinan citizen and foreigner has the right to be treated in Nebesinan hospitals. In Nebesa, there is the St. Paul's Hospital, the Nebesa Civic Hospital, the King Stanislav Hospital, St. Andrew's Hospital, and Ros Sanker Children's Hospital, plus around 600 clinics. There are dozens of police stations, and fire stations, in the event there is a fire.

Enjoyed the entire city? Feeling utterly tired? Why not come to the 75-story Alto Resort? Constructed from 2001 to 2004, it is the tallest hotel in Nebesina and the third tallest building in the City of Nebesa. The Alto Resort offers 75 above-ground levels, 10 basement levels, 15 lifts and 701 hotel rooms. Each of the three hotel sections of the building has a pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium, games room, virtual golf driving range, and a private 24-seat theatrette. The pool and spa areas are located on levels 38 and 61, and they offer 180° views of Nebesa. Do you have children that you cannot leave alone during the performance or practice? No worries, there is also a childcare centre located in the building. There is also Wi-Fi, free room service, alarm clocks, souvenirs for you to take home (mainly candy, some travel mugs, and Vegemite), and in the bedside tables, there are no Bibles. What is in those tables, nobody knows! Some think there are textbooks, others say they contain porn magazines, and crazy ones say that in those tables contain the ashes of a young Gregoryisgodistani performer who made one little mistake and got executed. The Alto Resort is close to bus routes (several bass in front of it), taxi service, only 6 minutes away from the Opera House, and close to restaurants. And yes, you can go on the monorail from here.
This is not cheap of course. A night's stay at the Alto Resort would cost you Д250 ($552.50) per night, so there are a variety of other accommodation that you might want to consider should you decide to arrive in Nebesa, although none will provide the same luxurious services than if you decide to go to the Alto Resort.

It is the most important day in your life. The day where you have to perform in front of audience of thousands of people within the show, plus hundreds of billions of people watching through television, the internet, or whatever format they somehow use to watch these performances.
It first opened on October 20, 1973 after construction began on March 2, 1959. The entire building comprises of these following venues:
The Opera House also houses a recording studio, cafes, restaurants and bars and retail outlets. Daily tours backstage can be booked weeks in advance to see areas normally reserved for crew members and actors, while frequent tours of front-of-house spaces.
Thus, the total combined audience total if you exclude the Forecourt is 5,738 people. Of course, we are going to host it at The Concert Hall. It would be silly if we hosted WorldVision 32 at the Utzon Room. That said, the other venues will be used as audience-viewing areas that you can watch the contest live. As well, Telstra Stadium shall receive the honor of viewing meaning that with 20,000 at the Forecourt to watch the performances, 107,059 people will be able to watch WorldVision 32 from one of the official sanctioned viewing areas. Large LED screens will be set up at these locations, with cameras being connected to either the Opera House or Telstra, and switching depending on the performances.
The media will be acommodated, of course, with two facilities: one at the Nebesa Opera House, and one at the Telstra Stadium, since parts of the opening and closing acts will be held at Telstra Stadium, meaning both will be directed to cover the parts, switching between the two. The actual performances and the voting shall be held in the Opera House itself, and both are just 5 minutes by bus or car (the road connecting Telstra Stadium and the Opera House will be heavily restricted to WV related vehicles for 7 hours prior to the opening act, and the restrictions end after the end of the closing act and the start of the fireworks display).
The seats are one of the most comfy seats in the world, made of 70% recycled materials and 30% plastic. Since the Opera House is air conditioned, there is no need to cool these seats. That said, it has a drinkholder and a food holder, and an interactive menu to order food and drinks, where our most advanced robots can deliver them to you without having to get up from your seat.
If you are more of the active type of person, there are concessions around the hall, selling you all kinds of food, including soft drinks (water will be provided for free, as well as a medium soft drink of your choice). Alcohol will not be permitted to be brought in, but it can be sold, albeit at a hefty price and only a single pint.
And don't worry about missing an act if you're going to the washrooms or getting some food: screens will broadcast a live feed of WorldVision on flat screen high-definition televisions.
It first opened on October 20, 1973 after construction began on March 2, 1959. The entire building comprises of these following venues:
- The Concert Hall - 2,679 seats
- The Opera Theater - 1,507 seats, proscenium
- The Drama Theater - 544 seats, proscenium
- The Playhouse - 398 seats, proscenium
- The Studio - 400 seats, flexible, meaning capacity depends on configuration
- The Utzon Room - 210 seats
- The Forecourt - a flexible open-air venue with a wide range of configuration options, including the possibility of utilising the Monumental Steps as audience seating, used for a range of community events and major outdoor performances.
The Opera House also houses a recording studio, cafes, restaurants and bars and retail outlets. Daily tours backstage can be booked weeks in advance to see areas normally reserved for crew members and actors, while frequent tours of front-of-house spaces.

The stage at the Opera House is designed to be futuristic.The stage has cubes that can light up and be transparent, but they can also be repositioned at any time depending on the needs of the performers. The picture of the stage for WorldVision 32 is the default position, but with a flick of the controls, the robotic cubes can shift at any time, and even lower deep into the ground for a completely flat state.
The stage has a floor that is very sensitive to pressure applied to the floor, meaning it can change colors, textures, sounds and other properities of it depending on the wishes and whims of the performer. The floor will be 10 millimeters in thickness and 1.679.616 pixels in total, basically making it more of a large touchscreen than an actual floor, although it can expand up to a thickness of 10 cm and get harder or softer.
Notably, at the back is a large LED screen. It is designed to have a direct link to Telstra Stadium's cameras (like Telstra's large LED screens having direct links with the Opera House cameras during the contest) so that audiences at the Opera House can witness the parts of the opening act that do not occur in the Opera House, and vice-versa. The LED screen is 1,200 square meters long, and a set up of nine million diodes and 2,810 lights, enough to ensure that performance, should they want, have their own unique design that will captivate the audiences into something that they never imagined in their wildest dreams, no matter if it is one of the classic bands, or if it is as bad as DANAE.
Around the stage is water. Seven thousand liters of water will surround the stage, symbolizing Nebesina being dependent on the water, repeating the design of the stage itself. It will be colored in blue and white, the national colors of Nebesina, so that viewers, regardless of whether they watch it live or on a screen billions of kilometers away from Nebesa can see the magnificent water.
Finally, the orchestral pit will be used so that the Nebesa Symphony Orchestra can perform songs if they decide to do so. They will perform the national anthems of every country during the postcard before each and every performance. But first, let's go to the greenroom.

You cannot have a WorldVision without a good greenroom. It is a sad fact that has killed many a WorldVision bid. Thus, Nebesa has a good WorldVision greenroom. Carrying the futuristic theme that the stage has started, it is a great place for all performers to relax. A touch-screen can be used to order candy, snacks, chocolates, beverages and other niceties, such as the finest Nebesinan alcohol. A window looks out to provide the best views of Nebesa Harbor, while the television screen carries the live feed of WorldVision 32, meaning that if the performers are not performing, they can watch WorldVision and cheer on their favorite nations.
For non-humans and child performers, we have an adjacent "play area" which is like the Greenroom, but more adapted to children and non-humans. There will be Wifi in the entire Opera House so you can use your laptop, tablet, or mobile phone while in the Opera House.

Finally, we reach the postcards. The images will only show the final frame of the display, since the post cards are meant to last at most, one minute and thirty seconds: a short film of day to day life or the natural wonders of your nation. Basically, submit how it ends, and the word "Imagine" in two of your official languages. If there is only one or one of them is English, they can be minority languages. If English is the only language spoken in your nation, you can put in an indigenous language, or an extinct language onto the postcards.
As for music, it will be your national anthem: if it is longer than 90 seconds, you need to submit a short version to fit within the time period. If you have no national anthem, just submit a traditional song.

Thus, we wish you the best of luck and may you choose Nebesa to host the thirty-second edition of the WorldVision Song Contest, where we assure you that it will be the WorldVision you will never forget!
