WORLD HIT FESTIVAL 41
Here is a short summary about what happened recently at the World Hit Festival!

It was a close one to the finish, right down to the final vote. However, the world has spoken, and the winner was made clear when Zitravgrad cast their final 5 points of the night. This nation has been waiting for quite a while for a win... They're still one of the oldest active World Hit Festival nations still participating and have had an exemplary service record to the festival. They've always done well, but a win? The last time this nation won was in the World Hit Festival's silver birthday. Now, they've done it again. The second win was upon them. Kalosia were the victors of the 41st World Hit Festival.

After the winner has been announced, the World Hit Festival will run on a 2 month basis (more or less depending on how long the previous edition was). This means five-six editions will be held over the period of one year. We would like to stick to the schedule that we prepare at the start of each World Hit Festival iteration. We would work closely with the host to make sure that they are comfortable with the calendar, but we will try to keep to the structure as much as possible. The structure follows the structure of recent editions slightly, but these will now be official changes. Below, I will list the typical structure for the World Hit Festival as of the 3rd October 2018.

Week 1 The World Hit Festival, after the 3rd of October, will finish on any of the four days between Thursday to Sunday. Week 1 is the Host Preparation which lasts until the first Sunday. This is picking the host, and them filling out the World Hit Festival form. When the World Hit Festival Overseer and the eventual host broadcaster has made a decision, we will announce the host of the competition. While this announcement (if everything goes according to plan) will be announced on the Friday of Week 1 (The Friday before the thread goes up), the announcement might not be made until the day of when the thread goes up. If no decision on the host has been made in Week 1/avoiding any clashes with the other song contest, Week 1 will be repeated. Therefore, the Overseer will maintain contact with potential hosts all throughout the planning process to make sure this does not happen. We also ask the hosts to cooperate with us. We would appreciate any news articles regarding the upcoming contest to be posted in the World Hit Festival Network, including any reactions to the recent contest that had just concluded. The host will reserve a post on the OOC Thread near the top where they will input information about the contest.

Week 2 The Sign Ups for the World Hit Festival will open on the Monday after the host has been announced, any time between 5PM British Time to 11 PM British Time. When the Sign Ups open, the Overseer will make an official announcement on Discord and the Network with the link of the new thread. Sign Ups will be open for three weeks.

Week 4 The Draft Thread will open for submissions on Monday. Here, nations will will be able to post their entries. They will have a period of two and a half weeks to place their entries on to the Draft Thread.

Week 5 On the Monday of Week 5, The Sign Ups for the World Hit Festival will close. This will mark three weeks since the official opening of the World Hit Festival.

Week 6 On Thursday (if the Draft Thread meets the threshold agreed by the host and the Overseer. If it doesn't, an initial 48 hour extension period will be put in place), the Draft Thread will close. This will mark 2 weeks and 3 days since the Opening of the Draft Thread. The host then has the weekend to check the entries of the contest, alongside the Overseer, and transport all of the entries from the Draft Thread to the IC Thread.

Week 7 If not done before, on Monday of Week 7, the host will announce the Opening of the Voting on the IC Thread. If there has been an extension period on top of the initial extension period, the time period of the voting will decrease (and possibly a day off of voting reveal depending on how many nations are participating). It will last until Sunday or Monday.

Week 8 On Monday of week 8 (subject to change based on host), the Voting Reveal will happen. As explained at the start of the explanation to the structure, the Voting Reveal must end between Thursday and Sunday. This means that the Voting Reveal can last a total of 7 days in complete length, an increase of one day of recent World Hit Festivals. If the host decides to do the traditional host reveal with a low amount of participants, the Overseer will highly suggest to the host that they do not use all of the 7 days, but this is at the discretion of the host. If a issue with the host happens, the host must contact the Overseer immediately as this might affect the next edition.

The contest will ICly happen on the final SATURDAY of the OOC Calendar if not mentioned, but the host can elect for the contest to be held on a different IC date by contacting the Overseer and having talks with them.

A separate calendar will be made for the 6th Junior World Hit Festival.

Any problems or queries with the calendar, please telegram or DM me!

We will provide the best news about the World Hit Festival with our fantastic international team. From every nation has participated in the contest, we have a correspondent who will find out the latest information about your nation at the World Hit Festival - while also catching up with their own participants. They will also be in close contact with each Head of Delegation for the participating nations.

Rules and Procedures
Contest

A nation is allowed to submit 2 puppets maximum to the contest, meaning that a user can be controlling at most 3 nations in the contest.
Nations must send a full ranking of all nations on the IC Thread to the host of the competition when the voting opens.
The nation ranked first will receive 5 points, the nation ranked second will receive 4 points etc. Nations ranked 6th or below will not receive any points.
The full ranking will be revealed by the Overseer and/or the host at the end of the competition.
Users are allowed to receive 8 points maximum from their puppets. Meaning, a user with three nations can use Nation B and C (with B and C giving 4 points each) to give Nation A 8 points total, but nothing more.
A nation is also expected to vote, but there is no penalty for not voting. The host will make up your votes in the event that they do not have your votes.
All or at least most of the written lyrics must be original. Should any user spot any concerns, don't hesitate to let the overseer or current host know.
In order for Semi Finals to be initiated, there must be enough nations for there to be 14 nations per Semi Final. The number of participants before Semi Finals are initiated will be dependent on circumstances.
In the unlikely event of there being 40 or more complete entries, the top 5 from last edition (including the host) will qualify automatically to the Grand Final.
The maximum amount of nations that can participate at any World Hit Festival is 47 (including the host).

Hosting

The winner of the competition will automatically be given the right to host the competition. The winner will have 72 hours (maximum) to announce their interest in hosting the Festival to the Overseer.
However, the Overseer will take into account whether the user is active or not - if they are abroad for a trip or unable to respond until they return, that 72 hour wait will be obsolete.
The host must complete the Host Broadcaster Form before the Sunday deadline (the weekend before the new thread appears). If this is not complete, this will affect the overall calendar for the upcoming World Hit Festival. The host must not reveal their acceptance of hosting until the Overseer has announced it on the WHF Network.
If within the first 72 hours, the host either doesn't announce their interest of hosting the proceeding contest or declines hosting rights, the nation who came 2nd will be asked. If declined five times, the World Hit Overseer has to host the World Hit Festival.
If the host abandons their host duties, the World Hit Overseer will be responsible for what left needs to be done.
We would like to ensure all World Hit Festival hosts can host the competition to the best of their ability. If you have any concerns about hosting if given the opportunity to, don't hesitate to speak to the World Hit Overseer.

This space is WIP and will be updated as the 42nd World Hit Festival commences...

**NEWS REGARDING THE 42ND WORLD HIT FESTIVAL**

I would firstly like to congratulate Kalosia, who won the 41st World Hit Festival in Polumisec - Izmedu. Corpus Calosum had a great performance on the night and showed the true essence of the World Hit Festival which makes me very proud to take over from Ivan Sandic as the Executive Producer of the World Hit Festival. It was absolutely fantastic to experience Silvio Raneri and Maria Kartas winning the World Hit Festival winning the Festival in style. Congratulations to all the nations that participated in the 41st World Hit Festival, regardless of the final placing. The standards were very high last edition and I will be hoping that the standards will be kept as high as we enter a new era of the World Hit Festival.

I would also like to thank RTI for hosting their seventh contest. It has come to my understanding that RTI are, let's say, exhausted after hosting yet another Festival but the standard from Izmedu has been impeccable and as a community, we are honoured to have returned to the nation for the 41st World Hit Festival. For the first time in over 10 editions, RTI will be able to take a rest and fully enjoy the contest without all the thrills of overseeing and/or hosting the competition.

The show must go on. As soon as we learnt of Kalosia's win in Polumisec, we started to work behind the scenes to find out who will host the 42nd World Hit Festival. As you can imagine, it is not always easy to help organise an event of such magnitude but luckily for us at the new World Hit Festival HQ in Junterapten, we were able to make contact with the winning broadcaster swiftly and ask whether they would be interested in hosting the competition for the fourth time. After entering talks with their national broadcaster, Radiu-Televižio Kalosia (RTVK), we have agreed to deal which means that the official host of the 42nd World Hit Festival is...

ALTAN, KALOSIA

Altan is the location Corpus Calosum hails from. Located in the Kalosian highlands, the city will provide a picturesque scenery for the 42nd World Hit Festival. Very soon, broadcasters will be able to confirm their participation and we would hate for anybody to miss out on another fantastic World Hit Festival hosted by Kalosia!

We are excited for the 42nd World Hit Festival and we can't wait for the contest to begin! See you all in Altan, Kalosia!

From the bottom of our hearts at the World Hit Festival Headquarters in Junterapten, we would like to congratulate the winners of the 42nd World Hit Festival, Britonisea! Evangeline Hope, with her song "When Our Eyes Meet" brought the World Hit Festival trophy back to Britonisea for the 3rd time in the history of the Festival - and it was a well deserved victory for Evangeline Hope! I would like to personally thank the RTVK team for hosting yet another fantastic edition of the World Hit Festival! We certainly hope to be working with the RTVK team again very soon.

More information regarding the 43rd World Hit Festival will come very soon - I've got to make a few calls.

**NEWS REGARDING THE 43RD WORLD HIT FESTIVAL**

As the show finished, us who are currently at our Junterapten Headquarters took a trip down to BVC's Headquarters and had a meeting with the officials there. While winning came as a great surprise to them, BVC [Brityunik Vefecosoin Cairkovoin] agreed that they will happily host the upcoming edition of the World Hit Festival. Knowing BVC was in the same predicament as RTVK before World Hit Festival 42 (having hosted three editions before), us at the Headquarters can't wait to work with the Britonish Team, including Guy Autriche who will act alongside me to organise a truly Britonish production.

Brityunik Vefecosoin Cairkovoin, before hosting a World Hit Festival, usually has a bidding process. This bidding process had the following Britonish cities hoping to host the World Hit Festival;

Burgendore The VEFEKOM Burgen Arena (18,000 maximum capacity)
Northern Britonisea
Ghiezland
Ghiez Ghiez Maine Arena (26,000 maximum capacity)
Northern Britonisea
Ghiezland
Boschke Newbury Park Arena (20,000 maximum capacity)
North-Eastern Britonisea
Boschke
Boscombard Boscombard Exhibition Centre (16,000 maximum capacity)
West Britonisea
Kyvivre

After a strong bidding process, a panel from both BVC and the World Hit Festival organisers decided that the best option for the 43rd World Hit Festival would be...

BURGENDORE, BRITONISEA

Brace yourself for a chilly World Hit Festival as the World Hit Festival hits Britonisea's Northern most city, Burgendore! For the first time ever, an international song competition organised by Britonisea will be held outside of the mainland of Britonisea as Burgendore is situated on Ghiezland. The city of 1.04 million people are ready to welcome you within their arms and give you a large cup of coco to warm you up!

Very soon, broadcasters will be able to confirm their participation and we would hate for anybody to miss out on another fantastic World Hit Festival hosted by Britonisea!

We are excited for the 42nd World Hit Festival and we can't wait for the contest to begin! See you all in Burgendore, Britonisea!

It has been great to have 20 or more nations participating in the contest for the fifth time in a row showing the strength the Festival is at today! This evening, BVC held a very intense (and slightly over-scheduled) live draw which saw Britonisea drawn to perform 2nd and the other nations drawn to perform in either the 1st or 2nd half. Since that live draw ended an hour ago, BVC Officials were making a running order - which was last done at the 39th World Hit Festival contest. BVC have given us the full order and we can now reveal it below;

09 Fromulya "Kuaci" - Arum Dawoh
10 Normandy & Picardy "There's Nothing You Can't Do" - Les Pompiers
11 Izmedu "Closure" - Martin Zganec
12 Estogium "No Closer To You" - Kiain Jermaine-George
13 Nightom "Turn Back Time" - Louka Elliot
14 Todlichebujoku "Kaukana" - Lopeta Joká

19 Anollasia "My Heart's Still Beating" - Anima
20 Kishrael "Irgaṣ Ilee" - Tatyana Shapsugh

This is going to be a fantastic competition and I just cannot wait to see who will be crowned the winner of the 43rd edition. So join us on the 12th January 2019 at 20:00 GMT for what will be a spectacular show in Burgendore, Britonisea.

**NEWS REGARDING THE 44TH WORLD HIT FESTIVAL**

I would firstly like to congratulate Anollasia, who won the 43rd World Hit Festival in Burgendore - Britonisea. I feel very proud that a loyal nation to the World Hit Festival such as Anollasia has had their first win at the World Hit Festival with the band Anima singing "My Heart's Still Beating". It is a very beautiful song worthy of winning, and I am sure that the whole of the Multiverse are happy to see Anollasia win the festival just as much as the nation. Once again, congratulations.

I would like to thank BVC, Brityunik Vefecosoin Cairkovoin, the national broadcaster for Britonisea at the World Hit Festival for putting on such a fantastic show. I know that BVC are very experienced hosting large television shows, especially after hosting the 27th, 35th and 38th editions of the contest before the 43rd. Of course, with the contest being in Britonisea, it was very easy to communicate with BVC and we would love to work with them in the future again sometime.

The show must go on. We have been in discussions with the winning nation to see whether they would like to host the next edition of the Festival. It is World Hit Festival tradition that the winning nation gets the rights to host the next Festival. This tradition has been happening continuously since the 37th World Hit Festival. Anollasia were certain that they did not want to break this. Therefore, we can announce that the host of the 44th World Hit Festival is...

JEFFERTON, ANOLLASIA

For the first time since the 39th World Hit Festival, we are going to the capital of the host nation - Jefferton in Anollasia! Very soon, broadcasters will be able to confirm their participation and we would hate for anybody to miss out on another fantastic World Hit Festival hosted by the fantastic Anollasia!

We are excited for the 44th World Hit Festival and we can't wait for the contest to begin! See you all in Jefferton, Anollasia!

To mark 5 editions since I took the place of Mr. Sandic, the winner of the 45th World Hit Festival will have the chance to host the special edition that I have planned. Details to which will be revealed in the coming hours.

Default logo for the 46th World Hit Festival...

The 46th World Hit Festival will be a special edition. The 46th World Hit Festival marks the fifth edition since Fabio McAlpine took over the leadership from Ivan Sandic.

The 46th World Hit Festival will take place in the nation that wins the 45th World Hit Festival. We would like to make the 46th World Hit Festival a very large event, including two semi-finals and so we would love to make as many nations participate as possible - hopefully making it the largest World Hit Festival ever.

The winner of the 45th World Hit Festival will have to agree to the terms and conditions for hosting the 46th World Hit Festival, including the addition of an orchestra as a part of the stage or behind-the-scenes. The orchestra must be a full symphony orchestra.

In order to be eligible to participate in the 46th World Hit Festival, the majority of the instruments and sounds that you will present will be from any instruments in a full symphony orchestra (this can be also presented in the form of RP for those unwilling to provide a tune/where it is not as evident as a tune which has 100% orchestral music).

Delegations will be allowed to send a song with just one instrument too (voice and accompaniment).

The decision as to whether a tune is rejected or accepted will be made by the current overseer and the host broadcaster, with further discussions being had with the former World Hit Festival Overseers if there is a dispute.

Assuming the 45th World Hit Festival happens without any delays, here is the tentative schedule for the 46th World Hit Festival.

World Hit Festival 46
OOC OPEN: 20th May 2019

NEWS REGARDING THE JUNIOR WORLD HIT FESTIVAL

Hello! Below, I am going to briefly discuss what is going to be happening regarding the 6th Junior World Hit Festival. As the 47th World Hit Festival approaches, five editions have passed since the most recent Junior World Hit Festival which means that it is time for a new, updated version of the contest. Like normal, we will have a bidding process to determine who will be the sixth host of the Festival. I will discuss that later on in this news bulletin. However, the first thing that I would like to speak about when this is going to happen.

DATES OF THE JUNIOR WORLD HIT FESTIVAL

The Junior World Hit Festival last edition lasted for 48 days, between the 16 September 2018 to 3rd November 2018. Unlike the last edition, we will not hold the bidding process during the sign-ups for the Junior World Hit Festival, with us picking the host of the next Junior World Hit Festival before the Sign-Up Thread goes up. The Junior World Hit Festival's next OOC thread will go up nearer the end of the 47th World Hit Festival and therefore here is the tentative schedule for the Junior World Hit Festival below;

Opening of the Junior World Hit Festival Sign-Ups: Sunday 4th August 2019
Opening of the Draft Thread: Sunday 18th August 2019
Closing of the Draft Thread: Sunday 1st September 2019
Jury Voting: Monday 2nd September 2019 - Sunday 8th September 2019
Televoting: Monday 9th September 2019 - Sunday 15th September 2019
Voting Reveal Monday 16th September 2019 - Sunday 23rd September 2019
Winner Known By: Sunday 23rd September 2019

The World Hit Festival 48 will open 29th September 2019 - the winner of WHF47 will have the month and a half to prepare to host the competition.

Now, before I get into it more, the first thing that I will talk about is the bidding process because this has been omitted from the schedule. We believe that having the Host Bidding process beforehand will make it much easier for the contest to happen and will bring more attention to who is hosting rather than who might host. We will also have the bidding process happen over a longer period of time to ensure that we gain good quality bids, not rushed jobs. As the tentative schedule has been released, we hope that potential hosts will take this into account when bidding and will be readily available. Hosting the Junior World Hit Festival will be a large task and we intend to have a host that is fully invested in hosting the competition. With that being said, below, you can find the dates to the bidding process for the Junior World Hit Festival 6.

Bidding for JWHF
Monday 24th June 2019 - Sunday 28th July 2019
34 days - 4 weeks and 6 days.

On Monday 24th June 2019, I will open the bidding process for the 6th Junior World Hit Festival. The host bidding process will happen in the WHF Network thread with more information coming on the 24th June 2019. There will then be 4 weeks and 6 days to allow nations to bid for the World Hit Festival. After the 28th of July 2019, I will put up the bidding process votes in the evening and there will be a vote for six days afterwards until Saturday 3rd August 2019. I will then announce the winner and give 24 hours for the host to provide a final version of their logos and any other information that they must have prepared beforehand. The sign-ups will then open with the name of the host being placed as the subject. We can, therefore, focus on the contest at hand. It is up to the host if they would like to have any additional events during their allocated time as Junior World Hit Festival host (such as red carpet events/Head of Delegation meetings) - with the Overseer recommending any type of RP to happen during the extended voting period which will be discussed soon.

If no bids come through in the allocated time, the Overseer will be elected as the host for the competition.

In order to bid, you must have participated at least once at the World Hit Festival or Junior World Hit Festival.

THE NEW VOTING SYSTEM AT JWHF6

The World Hit Festival is an event where you can make large changes to better the Festival and to keep it going. While the voting system that we currently have at the World Hit Festival has been in place for years with the way it has been revealed changing over the years, we would like to change things up for the upcoming Junior World Hit Festival. The new voting system that I will introduce will include a Jury Vote and a Televote in order to decide the winner of the 6th World Hit Festival. As a result of this, an extra week has been made to vote, with the first week of voting being normal 5-1 ranking for entries before the addition of the new televote. Below, I will quickly go through how it will work.

Jury Vote: The Jury Vote will be the normal phases that we have at the current World Hit Festival. It is up to the host whether they would like to split this up into 4-1 and 5 points. However, the Overseer will recommend that reverting to the normal World Hit Festival 5-1 voting reveal recently used at the 39th World Hit Festival. In order to make the voting segment easier for everyone, nations will no longer have to provide a full ranking. Instead, nations can simply provide their top 5. If nations would like to reveal their full rankings, they can simply send their full ranking to the host and the host will reveal the full ranking when they reveal their votes.

So there is no difference there, really. However, in the second week of voting, all nations will then be sent a link to an external voting and data collection website which will collect the televoting points. Each nation will be able to vote for four different nations on top of those that they voted for in the Jury...but there's a twist.

Televote: For the host of the 6th Junior World Hit Festival, I would personally like to see the televote of the 6th Junior World Hit Festival be just as high impact as the Televoting at the Eurovision Song Contest. I will be happy to allocate only two of the seven days that the voting reveal happens to the televoting, making it the phase which is the quickest. Depending on how many nations participate or how the host wants to make an impact, they are allowed to choose how to allocate the Televoting. They can decide to randomly dish out the televotes over the two days. They are also free to go from last place in the televote to the first place, or even go along the ranking of the jury vote (as was done at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest). Though, the system used must raise impact - not stop it from happening. Below, I will speak about how each nation will be able to vote.

Each nation (including puppets) will be allowed to vote for four nations of their choice with the twist being explained below.

I thought "how will I stop people from simply wanting to vote for their top four nations?" Well, sometimes at these international competitions (at the World Hit Festival more so than the WorldVision Song Contest), there are opportunities where nations that placed just outside the top 5 and are not properly represented in the voting. Therefore, with the four votes that each nation will be allocated;

2 votes will be allocated to two of the five nations that the nation voting has already voted for. For example, if the nation Kalosia has voted for Izmedu, Axuva, Llalta, Estogium and Skanden, Kalosia is free to choose two nations from the aforementioned nations to vote for in the Televote.

2 votes will be allocated to two nations that your nation has not yet voted for. For example, Kalosia could choose the nations Britonisea and Todlichebujoku because Kalosia has not yet voted for them in the Jury vote. Kalosia will not be allowed to vote for the nations in the top 5 that he did not vote for in the televote. Another twist is in place because I will allow you to vote for yourself. One of the two votes you could simply allocate to yourselves - do you think your own work should be rewarded or do you think its fairer to give others the credit for their work? That's up to you.

In total, the televote will be in lots of four. The more nations that participate, the more variety. The percentage of votes each nations gets will be converted into points. Using the full ranking of WHF45, I have decided to make a little showing of what it could look like when we use this system;

As you can see, the voting reveal could be rather tense with there being remarkable changes to the final standings. An example of this is through Normandy and Picardy coming 13th to 5th. There are other changes in the scoreboard that could make the Televote reveal very exciting. At the start of the World Hit Festival 48, there will be a vote deciding whether we should incorporate this into the actual World Hit Festival or keep the full-ranking system at World Hit Festival. The World Hit Festival 48, as explained earlier, will be delayed.

The Overseer will collect these votes using the external voting system. The Host and the Overseer will create a small RP (like a Jon Ola Sand/Host interaction "Are the votes ready?") And at this point, the Overseer will send the Host the full televoting details. This can be done before the end of the 5-1 point reveal, but after the first day of voting.

CHANGES TO THE WORLD HIT FESTIVAL (AS OF WHF47)

Deadlines will be moved to Sundays in order to make it easier for nations to finish off entries. Hopefully, this will make deadlines much more memorable instead of having them on a weekday. The World Hit Festival 47 Draft Thread will open on a Thursday and will last two and a half weeks. This means that nations have three weekends to post their entries. Hopefully, more nations will participate in the upcoming World Hit Festival.

Another reminder that there will be a large gap between WHF47 to WHF48 in order to prioritise the Junior World Hit Festival. Thank you!

Loads of new changes to the World Hit Festival and I can't wait to see how things go! If you have any questions, please just ask. The World Hit Festival 46 is about to close, so please remember to vote. The bidding for Junior World Hit Festival will open is less than a week.

Update 1 (00:24 BST) - Announcement #9

Added information regarding how the results of the televote will be collected and when the host will receive the televoting information.

A slight change on the voting segment is expected to be made, including different weighting to add more variety to the votes and make it less predictable. More to be explained soon.

The signature already comes spoilered and should be placed at the very top or very bottom of the bid - that's up to the bidder's discretion. Please contact me via DM or Telegram if you would like to know more about the televoting segment or any other aspect of the World Hit Festival before bidding.

II. The Host Bid - Necessary Details

Below, I will list things that will be needed in the Host Bid, with more detail on certain sections being in Section III.

Name of city/venue: The first things that we are going to need in the host bid is the name of the city that intends to host the 6th edition of the Junior World Hit Festival. We will also need the name of the venue and the capacity too. If you intend to not use an arena, rather opting for an outdoor venue, please state this clearly in your bid. There have been World Hit Festivals that have taken place outdoors and so please do not feel limited to choosing an arena - though it is recommended. You can include images/graphics to aid this.
Applicant City/Host Information: When you have listed the name of your city and the arena, we would like to know more about the applicant city - go into detail about what the city is about. In addition, you may write details about the whole nation...why is your nation and why is your city the perfect host for the 6th Junior World Hit Festival? Please also include a hosting portfolio for your nation. In addition to this, you can include images/graphics for visual representation.
Staging Details: We would like to know more about the staging that you would like to create at the Junior World Hit Festival. Do you intend to have an optional orchestra pit or not? Do you intend to have LED walls? Please do go into detail about what the stage you will have at the 6th Junior World Hit Festival will have and won't. Please feel free to include images/graphics to show images of the bid.
The Theme/Postcards: Do you intend to have a theme for the upcoming Junior World Hit Festival. We highly recommend this, especially due to how often the Festival is and it will make it much more memorable to have one. In addition to this, do you intend to have postcards and if so, what will be the themes for that? Feel free to provide visual representations of the theme and postcards.
Details about the contest: We would like to know more about the details of the contest. Included in this section, feel free to say how the running order will be decided (randomised/decided/order posted on the Draft Thread). You can also speak about how you intend to involve the participating nations. Finally, like at the Eurovision Song Contest, the televote will be revealed afterwards. In those (max) 7 days, how will you reveal the results?
- For the 5-1 segment, you can reveal the votes normally (like last Junior World Hit Festival seen here). You can reveal it in two phases like at the 46th World Hit Festival (seen here) or a different method.
- For the televoting, do you intend to reveal the results of the televoting in one go? Do you intend to go along from last place to first place in the televote (ESC 2016-2018) or the jury vote (ESC 2019) or a different method?
Closing Statements: Why should you vote for us...?

You will find that the above detail is not too dissimilar from WorldVision Song Contest bids or former Junior World Hit Festival bids. If you would like to make your bids more unique and attractive to voters, I would highly advise you take into account information in the next section.

III. The Host Bid - Additional Details

Below, I will list things that will be could be added in the Host Bid.

Graphics: Some people decide that graphics are what make or break a bid and this is the most-encouraged additional detail that you could have in your bid such as the logo. Other graphics that you could decide to have includes examples of what the postcards will look like. If you intend to have headers for each performance, you might want to provide a visual representation of what these graphics will look like. In addition to this, I believe that it is a nice addition to give voters a taste of what the voting segment graphics will look like. An example of this can be shown at the bottom of this host information for World Hit Festival 43.
-If you need more information/help and advice about what the graphics might look like for the televoting segment, please DM or TG me.
Information about the Festival: Additional information that you might want to include are the names and faces of who will host the Junior World Hit Festival and why they have been chosen to host it. In addition to this, you might also decide to add in information regarding the Opening and Interval acts of the competition. Having more information might help voters connect with your bids more.
Anything Else: If there are more things that have not been mentioned but you feel with greatly help your chances, please add them to your bid. We would love to see in-depth, really detailed bids.

Once the winner has been picked, the OOC Thread of the 6th Junior World Hit Festival will go live within 24 hours after the official announcement.

We would like to see many nations bidding to host the Junior World Hit Festival - it will be a great opportunity to host what is expected to be a large festival. Along with the host, I intend to raise the profile of the Festival, including pausing the senior edition to make way for what will be an exciting and brand new version of the Festival in a light we have not seen before. If you have never placed a bid for a competition/hosted before, don't feel afraid to post a bid! If anything, this is a great start as you will have the support from the Overseer (and all the community) to help guide you as a host. If you have hosted 100s of times before (looking at you, Izmedu) and feel confident to host this, feel free to drop a bid by! Below, you will be able to find the deadline. Good luck and I can't wait to see the bids!

Welcome to Sinnlichšukai, an up-and-coming city on Tödlichebujoku's west coast! Located just across the bay from sprawling Üüserstenkeiken, Sinnlichšukai has managed to keep its small-town friendliness and intimate atmosphere, despite its proximity to the nearby metropolis and its own booming population. The city originated as a small fishing town, but in recent decades has experienced a great growth in development with the increasing connections with its larger neighbor. A new generation of urban planners, learning from the successes and failures in Üüserstenkeiken, have incorporated an elaborate park system that effectively divides the city into distinct neighborhoods, allowing for easier navigation and sense of place, especially when walking. The city has attained a reputation for being exceptionally family-friendly, with some of the best rated school districts and quality of living scores in the nation. This of course, made it a natural choice as a candidate to host the 6th Junior World Hit Festival, in concert with the infrastructure capabilities diffusing in from Üüserstenkeiken. With the downtown area laced with parkland, and the forested mountains only a short ride away, Sinnlichšukai is an exciting choice for both lovers of city living and lovers of nature, of all ages and sizes.

The slogan "Dream Big" encourages children to set their sights high; you never know what you can achieve in life until you try. The logo follows this, with the Tödlichebujoki seven-pointed star arising from ever-growing ellipses, like ripples that grow ever wider. This refers to how the Tödlichebujoki nation arose from humble beginnings, and how greatness can come from insignificance.

The Kuniveva Isakava Children's Museum

Sinnlichšukai offers a variety of places to visit and things to do. For family fun, visit any of the ubiquitous parks for a romp in the open air, or visit the Kuniveva Isakava Children's Museum for for an intense indoor interactive experience curated by child development professionals. A wide number of exhibits will introduce your children to a variety of opportunities for play, incorporating tactile and multi-sensory interactions, sets inspired by various cultures, and even elementary magic principles!

But of course, food is a highlight of any journey, and in Sinnlichšukai, you won't be lacking! Not only do you have the Tödlichebujoki classics of potato, reindeer, soups, and stews, but a variety of cuisines from over the ocean are in abundance! Feast on authentic dishes from Cacanha, Naforasia, and Abaina [essentially China, Japan, and India], or try some of the many exciting fusion dishes cooked up by homegrown star chefs!

Valvoyan Overlook

Tired of people? Try a hike in the nearby mountains, where you can escape the city or just view it from a new, elevated perspective! Valvoyan Overlook, or "Valvoyannáköalapaikka" in Taploukki, is an especially scenic viewing spot, named in reference to a particularly able city administrator who enjoyed overseeing from that exact location.

Like all Tödlichebujoki cities, the majority of personal transportation is via aerial broom or carpet. Ley-line trains are a popular form of mass transit, and the Sinnlichšukai network is well-linked to Üüserstenkeiken's providing easy access to the greater metro area. And of course, dragons are always popular with the tourists, providing aerial tours of the city and executing some thrilling maneuvers!

The Taploukkun Siipien Smelauka

A piece of sculpture as much as it is a venue, the Taploukkun Siippien Smelauka (Taploukku's Wings Arena, and TS Smelauka for short) is Sinnlichšukai's premier indoor arena, built ten years ago to replace the aging Ribas Field. With a capacity of 13,000 in the planned concert configuration, the Taploukkun Siipien Smelauka is set to provide a vastly superior experience than the last Tödlichebujoki JWHF hosting, with an modern, comfortable interior as impressive as its exterior.

The stage is composed of a center projection and a pair of raised, flanking platforms, with a pair of sloping platforms behind on which instrumentalists can be seated if needed. A number of large LED screens are arranged behind the stage, arcing around to allow all to watch. All standard effects are available for use, including pyrotechnics, wind, lasers/strobes, fire, and fog, along with the Tödlichebujoki specialties of snow, rain, sleet, small hail, and related weather effects along with various other magical capabilities such as plant growth acceleration, physical transformations, and interaction with spirits.

The postcards will incorporate a national symbol for each nation, thus following the idea of greatness from humble beginnings mentioned earlier. These will of course be presented prior to the performance of each entry. The national symbol chosen will be preferentially from one's national flag, but other requests can be easily accommodated.

Interested in learning about the opening and interval acts? Well all we can say is that you'll be movin' and clappin' through the opening, and perhaps tearing up in the interval! We can however more freely reveal some details about the show:

The running order will be arranged by the producer.
We aim to have a large number of nations participating, so with the given time constraints, the classic WHF vote reveal is planned to be implemented.
The televote will revealed in the style of Eurovision 2019, in the reverse order of the jury results.

Thank you for considering Sinnlichšukai as your next JWHF host! If you have any comments or concerns, please feel free to let us know!

OFFICAL BID FOR THE JUNIOR WORLD HIT FESTIVAL 6

Rëndstÿrna, Darkmania

"Come! Play with Us!"

With the Rënd bid coming last place and the town being disappointed due to the hours used in order to bring the biggest show in the Mulitverse, the calls for bids for the JWHF6 has put life on this otherwise dead bid. Rëndstÿrna is prepared to showcase their town and they wish you to come and play with them.

(This bid is copied from the failed Rënd WSC74 bid with the changes done to make it fit for JWHF.)

THE TOWN

Rëndstÿrna is a cozy alpine town with around 50.000 Rëndsturÿs, small by darkmanian standards. Not much exiting for a small town, to be honest. The nearest large settlement is around 45 kilometres away, but size doesn’t matter when you can host big things. Because this small town has big plans for the future.

Rëndstÿrna is known as the winter sports capital of Darkmania. It is the location of Darkmania`s only luge/bobsleigh track as of now and its also the location of one of 35 speed-skating rinks in Darkmania. In the picture DaTV has been allowed to share by a local there, you can see the ski jumping venue as well as the town`s local church. The town LOVES winter sports. It's said that the town has good enough venues to host the Winter Olympics, A thought within the locals. But to mark that this town exists, they tried to host the Worldvision Song Contest. But that failed. But given the opening of the bidding for JWHF6, they opted to bid for that instead with the same (arpeib minor changes to make it fit for JWHF) And in order to host the JWHF, they need a venue. Luckily, they got the perfect one.

VENUE

If there is one thing that perfectly describes Darkmania, it's that “no challenge is too great to tackle”, and the venue`s location are a solid proof of that is true in Darkmania.
“Rëndstÿrna ËisHöckey Ärenä”, also known in local slang as “the Mountian Hall” is the centre-piece of this bid. If you haven’t noticed already, the ice hockey arena is inside of a mountain within the town centre.

The venue began construction with the first detonation in 1987 and was scheduled to be finished in 1990. However, construing an ice-hockey rink in the middle of a civil war are always a great idea. After the civil war ended in 1988, the Regime decided to continue with the venue as it was in construction. After 5 years, and 2 workers deaths, the ice hockey rink was open to the public on 10th December 1992 and are the town`s number one venue today.

The rink itself is 30,5 metres by 61 metres and are mostly used by the pride of the town, the ice hockey team "Rëndstÿrna Raccoons", a 6 times league winner and 4 times winner of the darkmanian championship. When Rëndstÿrna Racoons plays in the venue, up to 7 500 can cheer on their favourite ice-hockey team. It's not the biggest venue in Darkmania, but size doesn’t matter. A small venue can easily host big events, like Worldvision. The venue also is able to be used to host concerts, If used, 10 000 can fit in all inside this mountain 10 metres deep!

STAGE

With a stage like this, who need to have a fancy stage when you can have a simple stage? This will be the first song contest hosted by Darkmania to have LCD walls, so you are able to display anything as you want (as long it isn’t a face). The stage has the capability for fire and pyrotechnics, as well as one cat-walk so the performer can be close to the audience at the venue.

DaTV has a policy that nothing shall be ignored when it comes to song-performances. As such, you are free to do what you want on stage unless its illegal
Props on stage will not be a problem as there will be a storage backstage with enough space to easily get the props you need when your performer needs them.

THE HOST

We will only use one host for this event, but we already know the best one who is the most suited for the contest.
Änna Kisdeminn was 15 when she won JWHF3. Now in the age of 20, she will be the presenter of the very contest she won. The anti-war activist (who also turns out to have performed at WHF43, where she got 19th out of 20.

OTHER INFORMATION

If chosen, we will use Flexible Deadline. We also recommend, but cannot enforce, a limit of 6 persons on stage just like Eurovision, to try to encourage you to think outside the box. The host is quite liberal when it comes to how your song can be performed as the policy are to ensure you can do whatever you want (as long as it isn't illegal).

Darkmania will opt for using last to first method of revealing the televoting points, meaning it will go from the nation with the least number of voted from the public to the public`s winner.

The Running Order will use the same method as Darkmania used for WHF39; Dividing the participating nations into two halves and then use a producer placed an order, with only Darkmania being given a number in which they are set to perform as. The Overseer (Brionisea) are welcomed to give his idea on the running order IF he wants.

It shall be noted that the user behind this nation might not have the best English and his writing is not on par with other (according to him), so honest feedback on how he can improve his hosting skills, as well as typos, are welcomed via DM at the account “DarkNS#2031”

Postcards will be images of activities you can do in either winter or summer (ICy, the song contests takes place when it's cold again.) This will how the formating for the postcards will look like.

PORTOFOLIO

Darkmania was the organizer of WHF39 and WSC67, both taking place in the capital, so Darkmania has some experience with hosting song contest, albeit it is small. Darkmania also hosted the 1st Novapx summit, but ut due to the literally nothing that happens there, we will not go in much detail of the summit.

I want to grow and host anything with good quality and I believe if I am able to host this it will improve my hosting skills and helping me with my worldbuilding.n

**NEWS REGARDING THE 47TH WORLD HIT FESTIVAL**

I would like to congratulate Britonisea on their fourth ever win at the World Hit Festival - their second win since I took over the Overseership back at the 41st World Hit Festival. Britonisea's Vhe Qi won the World Hit Festival 46, twenty editions after Britonisea first won the World Hit Festival, with the song "Dangerously in Love". We wish all of the success for Vhe Qi going forward in his music career and we hope that the World Hit Festival provided a huge audience for him and his team.

Congratulations to Izmedu for hosting yet another fantastic edition of the World Hit Festival. Despite hosting so many times over the last 17 editions, it is superb that the team at RTI are able to make each of their contests different from each other and exciting for us spectators. Well done.

The show must go on. Soon after Britonisea had won the World Hit Festival, we turned to the Britonish broadcaster Brityunik Vefecosoin Ciarkovoin [BVC] to see whether they would be interested in hosting the 47th World Hit Festival. Britonisea had previously held the 43rd World Hit Festival. The team at Brityunik Vefecosoin Ciarkovoin accepted the mission to host their fifth World Hit Festival but had two cities that were interested in becoming the host of the 47th World Hit Festival. The two cities you can find below;

Junterapten
First Direct Arena (Hosted WHF35)
Kyvivre
Arenakyvivre (Hosted WHF27)

A board of Britons voted alongside a few international representatives, including representatives from the broadcaster that recently hosted the World Hit Festival, RTI in Izmedu. A decision was made. The city that came 2nd in the bidding process was...

Therefore this means that the winner and host of the World Hit Festival 47 is...

KYVIVRE, BRITONISEA
Kyvivre hosts the World Hit Festival for the second time ever. Kyvivre is located on Britonisea's western coast, with it being the heart of Britonish culture. Kyvivre is excited to host the Festival in the same arena as the WHF27, Arenakyvivre.

Very soon (July 7), broadcasters will be able to confirm their participation and we would like as many nations to participate as possible!

We are excited for the 47th World Hit Festival and we can't wait for the contest to begin! See you all in Britonisea's western coast!

Mera, Besen
6th JWHF
The Future Is Now

After careful consideration of both financial and political capabilities in regards to the Junior World Hit Festival, which occurs much less than it's senior counterpart, the tourism board of Mera have put forward a bid to host the contest. This bid has the support of the Besenian government, who have agreed a funding plan to ensure the competition is a good one.
We believe this is Besen's chance to prove itself to the world stage as a true asset within the community - as it's debut hosting opportunity for the Worldvision Song Contest was not received positively due to it's lacklustre production. We are prepared to give a really fantastic show this time. Let's take a look at the four main points of information that we want to show...

Mera

Our city of Mera is very much a beautiful one. It sits on the Eastern coast of Besen's lands, with a vast spread of forest and sea. Development of the city has allowed it to expand it's capacity in regards to both people and the economy - it has experienced the fastest growth of any area in the country. Home to 2 million, Mera is extremely diverse, which is something we are very proud of, and we definitely celebrate this fact. The locals here are probably the most kind, welcoming people in the whole of the country and we believe that this will make the city a perfect atmosphere for this event.

As for Mera's strengths, it has a continually growing nightlife scene, where you can expect one of the craziest nights of your life - for the adults, of course. We know this is a contest for the children of the world, and we are sure of our ability to provide a brilliant experience for them too. Agieno Park is the biggest theme park in Besen, and critically acclaimed for it's diverse entertainment - especially for kids. If that's not for you, you could always simply take a walk through the maze of streets, exploring the sprawling array of commercial hubs.

MEB Arena

MEB Arena was constructed as a final product in 2010, originating as a venue for sports, but quickly evolving into a great place to host concerts. Its capacity is currently 20,000 - however we recognise its ability to grow in capacity if we should feel it's appropriate to remove the sides of the stage, which usually are used as a platform to elevate the performer. The venue is critically acclaimed for its lighting abilities, which support laser lights and many other forms.

LEDs. We have taken the decision to not use them for this stage. Instead, we will have six interchangeable and customisable panels in the back, which will act as a beacon for whichever route delegations would like to go for in terms of their lighting design. And of course, we won't completely disallow LEDs, and delegations are permitted to bring and utilise their own, in whatever capacity that is. We wish to give the performers a good variety of tools to showcase their artistic vision, but we challenge the participating nations to think outside of the box to do so.

We vow to keep the delegations updated on how the stage construction is heading, and a comprehensive idea of what they will be able to utilise for their performance.

Hosts

Our hosts have been selected based on a strict criteria for the direction of the contest. Our theme 'The Future Is Now' is very fitting of these two fantastic people. Both were previous child stars, and have paved their own way in adulthood, in two very different ways.

Alia Reno will be recognised by Besen as the young girl, who acted in a very popular TV show that is considered an important piece of the nation's cultural identity. She has since gone on to gain recognition for her charity and activism work. Her history as an activist has led her to many places and she has been acclaimed many times - even eventually receiving an honorary award from the King. The theme means a lot to her:

"I am in love with the theme of this. I wish to give these kids a sense that they are the future of the world, and they really mean so much to our society, and always will. As a mother, I hope we can spread our pride for them as they have given their performances, just like I would for my own children."

On the other hand, Georgio Naleine is seen as important figure in the world of sport. He is the only openly gay man to win the top prize in a 'Kreballis' championship. He also states that the theme is a great message to send:

The future definitely is now. I wish I could have had that type of message on the TV when I was young, and I'm glad to be able to tell every child in the world that they are worthy of anything they work hard for, just as I have proved."

Theme, Postcards and Graphics

An example of a postcard that will be shown before an act begins their performance.

"The Future Is Now" is a theme that was constantly an idea of interest for the board. We believe that it is perfect and a great way to reach children around the world. We want you to draw from this theme that we are stepping into the future of not only Junior World Hit Festival, but in a lot of other aspects in life as well.

This is shown in our graphic design, which will be very much based around this idea, and the general futuristic vision that we have. The shapes that appear in all of our promotion will be used in both the postcards and the end scoreboard.

In the postcards especially, we will give the delegations participating to choose which colour they would like to be used in the shape, a tool that we will use to personalise the design of each postcard. We hope that nations will be able to correlate our graphical design with the theme.

Why Choose Besen?

Besen will be an attentive, optimistic host of the contest. We will push for many nations to participate in Mera, putting an emphasis on trying to reach enough to hold semi-finals. We want this JWHF to be the most exciting ever. This is why we support and encourage the Overseer's change to the voting system, which we will implement with enthusiasm.

Here are our plans for the contest:

Producers will decide on the running order for the competition, as we believe this will make for a show that flows effectively and gives nations who might struggle the chance to shine in a particular slot.
We intend to reveal the results of the televote in order of how each nations faired in the jury vote (ESC 2019 system).
We intend to involve nations as much as possible, and would like to receive feedback on any problems you might feel are happening.
We wish to hold semi-finals, and so will make a big push for this.

In conclusion, we are really interested in making this JWHF the best in history, so help Besen make it happening, by voting for Mera!
