[Britonisea]

I always knew it as 'Every good boy deserves fudge.' I guess it's different in the UK. :/

I'm British and I got taught 'Every good boy deserves fun'.

To to be honest, does it matter?

[Anollasia]

I'm British and I got taught 'Every good boy deserves fun'.

To to be honest, does it matter?

You can answer that yourself. We're long past that and you decide to reply to it anyway with a pretty pointless reply.

Just realised my WV39 entrant Dmitra Yarakinsk will have participated in WV39, WHF 18 and WV40 (She's gonna be back for URV in '40 yea bitches)

Lol, I never had the same artist participate in more than one contest.

WHF COUNTDOWN
PART I

Welcome to the first edition of WHF Countdown! During this series will be brining you up to speed on all the plans for the 18^th World Hit Festival held in our capital, Senmerí. In this edition we will be explaining this year's theme, and logo and postcard design.

THEME

The World Hit Festival is one of the biggest international cultural celebrations in the multiverse. It brings nations, big and small, together to join as one and put music first – regardless of our differences. Music is a language that transcends all barriers. It stirs our souls to feel emotions that we couldn't have felt or articulated before. This is why Chámelíyá is inviting you to join us in the beautiful city of Senmerí for the musical celebration we all love to feel From the heart!

LOGO + POSTCARDS

This edition's logo has been designed with the theme's message in mind and represents the confluence and merging of thoughts, emotions and identities. The logo has also been designed to be incorporated into each contestant's postcard - combining their national colours and the contest's motto, 'From the heart', in their national language.

The postcards of Chámelíyá, and Normandy and Picardy.

[Kalosia]

Fromulya has decided to send a different song to WHF, the selected act being Fromulya's debut entry at Worldvision. They never returned.

WHF COUNTDOWN
PART II

Welcome to the second edition of WHF Countdown! During this series will be brining you up to speed on all the plans for the 18^th World Hit Festival held in our capital, Senmerí. In this edition we will be discovering more about the host city, Senmerí, itself!

SENMERÍ



The sights, sounds and smells of Senmerí overwhelm every sense.

Senmerí has been called home for thousands of people for nearly two millennia. Nestled in the Senmerí valley beneath the mighty Hiuñchotí mountains, the city has been the beating heart of Chámelíyá for centuries. Behind every corner of this historic city lies a glittering temple or lovingly-carved shrine while the streets ring with the chorus of dance and celebration that comes with every one of the many festivals.

While the festival will be of course the first thing on all its attendees' minds, visiting Senmerí without exploring it for its cultural jewels would definitely be a mistake. The ancient palaces of medieval kings and the monolithic stupas that remain from long ago still inspire travellers from all over the multiverse. If that doesn't quite take one's fancy, than how about visiting one of the many national parks surrounding the city, full of charming waterfalls, majestic wildlife and spectacular mountain-top views of the city.

TRANSPORT



Travel in style on one of Senmerí's many rickshaws.

Senmerí's main gateway is Senmerí International Airport. The airport provides international flights to a number of destinations although due to its relatively small size, some attendees may have to transfer at a larger airport in Normandy & Picardy, Chámelíyá's regional neighbour. The airport is a mere 15 minutes to central Senmerí via the airport trolleybus service.

Most locations within the city are easily walk-able thanks to the city's compact layout although a number of transport options are available including the city's ubiquitous white taxis and tempus (tuk-tuks), and the famously colourful rickshaws.

ACCOMMODATION



Rání Hotel: 21^st Century comfort in period setting.

The official hotel of the festival is the Rání Hotel located in central Senmerí. A former royal palace, the hotel boasts extensive gardens, stunning architecture and 1^st class service to make sure every festival attendee's time in Senmerí is a relaxing one. Every whim should be satisfied here with the kitchen producing traditional Chámelíyálí fares and artisan world cuisine and the spa offering the age-old Chámelíyálí relaxation therapies.

The organisers of the festival have arranged for the hotel to offer a generous 25% discount for attendees of the festival. However, a number of welcoming and comfortable guest houses are located nearby in hotel in the bohemian Thamel district for fans on a tight budget.

WHF COUNTDOWN
PART III

Welcome to the third edition of WHF Countdown! During this series will be brining you up to speed on all the plans for the 18^th World Hit Festival held in our capital, Senmerí. In this edition we will be discovering more about the all-important venue!

VENUE



Senmeri Festival Arena; a ground-breaking venue for the World Hit Festival

For the duration of the festival, Senmerí International Airport's Hangar 2b will be transformed into the setting for the one of the mulitverse's biggest cultural celebrations. With sound-proofing and seating installed, Hangar 2b will become the Senmerí Festival Arena with a capacity of 10,000, and be what the organisers of the festival hope will be an honest performance space.

Current progress of hangar-arena renovation

The need for such an unorthodox venue arises from the fact that Chámelíyá has very few indoor spaces suitable for hosting an international event of this magnitude. Hosting the festival outdoors was an explored option but was discounted due to the wet climate during the monsoon season. The organisers of this festival hope that this will be the beginning for a trend of innovation for the festival in the future.

STAGE



WHF 18 stage; centred on the music

The stage for the festival has been designed with the rawness of the venue in mind and was designed to a more human-scale to make sure the focus of the festival stayed on the music. While a central LED display is available, the majority of the backdrop simply consists of spotlights. The perimeter of the stage has outlets for pyrotechnic displays and performances may also take advantage of the confetti dispenser above the stage or the many wind machines situated around the venue. We hope that this stripped down space will enhance the performances of the participants. A series of test runs have been performed on the stage which are available for view here.

[Anollasia]

A hangar? That's different...I like it.

[Chameliya]

A hangar? That's different...I like it.

Well it was either that or a field in the rain

You didn't get any permission from me to close signups or open the draft thread... but that's because you don't need any! Everything is on schedule.
It appears you can work in complete independence and I'm really glad to see the progress that has been done so far. I've also added all your little 'host bid' parts to the OP.

Signups are indeed closed, and I've updated the OP one final time. Happy posting!

[Izmedu]

Izmeduan entry is now posted in the draft thread. Not taking any chances with waiting considering what's happened the last two times I tried to participate

Good luck to everyone!

That's kinda the point of having a draft thread; you can just post what you've done and come back to it later to complete it. How long it takes for you doesn't matter as long as it's done before the deadline, since countries should only take into consideration (for voting) what's in the IC thread.

I'm a big boy now

Today I learned not to assume people's genders

I'm a big boy now

Today I learned not to assume people's genders

Don't worry, I've been told before that my taste in music is 'feminine'. Usually by people who are unaware of my love for grunge-y, lo-fi rock.

Personally, I tend to see most people on NS as floating, genderless blobs until I learn otherwise.

There is no 'feminine' or 'masculine' music. Music breaks barriers, it brings people together, it stirs the soul.
