Welcome to Natanya!

Congratulations to you, Natanya! You are hosting the 8th Junior World Hit Festival. More info to come here soon!

Guy Autriche
World Hit Festival Overseer

What is the Junior World Hit Festival?
The Junior World Hit Festival is the children's version of the World Hit Festival. It is a multiversal song competition modeled after the World Hit Festival. Each nation shall enter 1 song and 1 artist, and it shall be 'performed' via roleplay. Most nations tend to use a real life tune as a musical backing, but every entry submitted to the Junior World Hit Festival is required to have original lyrics (ie. if you submit a tune, you must re-write the lyrics), so this does mean that instrumental entries are blocked from entering the contest.

JWHF operates with three threads, the OOC, Draft, and IC threads. The one you are seeing now is the OOC/Sign-ups thread, the main place for you to discuss the contest, reveal your entrant, etc. All OOC chatter goes here. The Draft Thread, opened by the host, is the second thread opened up during a JWHF contest, and this draft thread is where nations will post and work on their entries until a deadline determined by the host. The IC thread, also opened by the host is the third and final thread attached to a WHF, and it is where the host will transfer your entries.

However, there are key differences between the JWHF and the regular WHF, most of which will be articulated in the rules and procedures section. All of the regular rules in the WHF still apply, but a lot of the differences will involve your IC participants and how the show selects its host. Unlike the WHF, JWHF calls for bids from interested channels and decides the host through a bidding process. Additionally, your IC entrants must be children or young teenagers in order to be eligible to participate (between the ages of 7 and 16 - an increase of since Junior World Hit Festival 5).

Six editions of the Junior World Hit Festival have been held so far. To find them, please click this link.

Rules and Differences for the Junior World Hit Festival

1. Your IC entrants must be between the ages of 7 and 16 on the date of the contest.
2. 6 people maximum are allowed on the stage, and all of them also must be between the ages of 7 and 16.
3. Your lyrics must also be age-appropriate for the singer's age. For example, a singer who is 13 years old would normally not be singing a song about war or an economic crisis and thus, it would look out of place if done so. Rule of thumb: if your lyrics are more suitable for an adult in their 30s or 40s, step back. Remember that you're writing for a younger singer.
4. Unlike the regular WHF, the JWHF has a language rule. 50% of your song must be in your national, regional, widely-spoken, and/or state-sponsored languages that your country speaks in. Preferably, this language should not be English (it is not forbidden if English is your national language, but you are highly encouraged to use another language)
5. In terms of tunes and song production, there's two aspects. ICly, children/teenagers are going to be the main authors of the song, so keep that in mind when choosing your tune. However, adults can help produce the song or teach your entrants to songwrite. However, like rule 3, if you find that the songwriting begins to match that of a renowned artist, step back. OOCly, it is highly recommended and advisable but not required that you choose a tune primarily produced by children (examples: children's music or the Junior Eurovision are good sources for tunes)
6. As an addendum to tunes, OOCly adult-produced songs can be sent to the JWHF. However, you must be able to ICly justify it and it will be held to the same rules (language rule, etc). If enough nations in the community object to a nation's tune, the WHF Overseer will make the final judgment to the tune's suitability.
7. The Junior World Hit Festival has a televote system. It is up to the host how they would like to reveal the winners of the televote and jury points. You can find out more information about how to vote in the post below.

Rules and Regulations...

ENTRIES

1. For an entry to be accepted, must have at least a tune and a complete set of lyrics. Incomplete, inappropriate or disorganised/unclear entries will not be accepted at the discretion of the host and the Overseer.
2. Reserved RL Tunes Nations must not send a reserved tune from this list. Songs that have been reserved are those that have placed in the quintile of any participating Festival, including Junior World Hit Festival. Songs that do not place in the top quintile are reserved for a year from the IC date of the Festival. You can find all information, and more, by browsing that link. The Overseer will be responsible for checking tunes, with the host double-checking before transferring the entry to the IC.
3. 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.
4. In order for Semi Finals to be initiated, there must be enough nations for there to be 13 nations per Semi Final. The number of participants before Semi Finals are initiated will be dependent on circumstances.
5. The maximum amount of nations that can participate without more than one automatic qualifier (ie the host) is 18 nations per Semi-Final. Once this number has been broken, the top 6 (including the host) will automatically qualify to reduce 18 nations to 15 in each Semi.^*1

---

CONTEST

1. A nation is allowed to submit 2 puppets maximum to the contest, meaning that a user can be controlled at most 3 nations in the contest.
2. Users must send a full ranking of all nations on the IC Thread to the host of the competition when the voting opens. If users usually split their rankings across multiple participating nations (master and at least one puppet), they are free to provide only one ranking - provided it directly aligns with how many points given out across the user's participating nations. Otherwise, the user must send a ranking per participating nation they own. Rankings should not be displayed by any given user until after the Festival has been completed.
3. 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.
4. When participating with multiple nations, users can only give themselves 8 points maximum. Votes will not be accepted if users give themselves, through any of their nations, more than 8 points.
5. In the event of a tie, the countback system goes as follows: Amount of nations - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 6th places, 7th places etc.

[Natanya]

NTV is proud to welcome everyone to participate in Junior World Hit Festival 8, hosted in Nightton, Natanya! We are sure that this will be another wonderful edition of the world's premium children's singing competition and are enthusiastic for nations to sign up and join us in our capital. Below you will find all the hosting information needed for this edition. Enjoy!

The City

Nightton is Natanya’s capital and largest city. The sprawling metropolitan area is located almost exactly in the centre of the Natanyan island, on the south shore of the nation’s largest lake, Lake Gigataisch. A historic city, parts of the metropolitan area have been settled for over a thousand years, with the area chosen as the location for the capital of a united island due to it very central position. This long, rich history as the political and literal centre of the country has given Nightton a plethora of historic structures and landmarks to be seen, ranging from medieval palaces to 17th-century churches, thousands of years of history runs through this cities veins, waiting to be discovered with each turn of a street corner.

However, history is not the only thing Nightton boasts, as staying true to the Natanyan cultural theme of staying with the times without losing tradition, Nightton has plenty of very modern attractions scattered among it’s shopping centres and exhibitions. No need to worry if you’re more into battles on a screen or stage rather than in a museum, with various cinemas, theatres, art galleries and e-cafes, no one will have miss out on their technological creature comforts while staying in the city. A city of many colours, there is surely something to entertain all ages and types that may come to the city due to the contest.

As the metaphorical heart of the nation and a common crossroads for domestic travel, basically all aspects of Natanyan culture can be found on display within the city. Regional cuisine, culture and activities that are usually sparsely found outside of their native region can be experienced in city’s streets alongside more general national culture and of course, Nighttonic regional culture. And due to the city’s size and presence at the forefront of Natanya, many pockets of international culture can also be seen. From Achaean cuisine to Amuapluean music, in the generally isolationist queendom, Nightton offers a surprising range of international experiences.

Nightton is equipped with city-wide transport links, with speedy metro and tram systems covering most of the inner city, and train and bus links extending to the outermost suburbs and commuter towns. The nation’s premier city that blends history, culture and contemporary life, it was the obvious choice as candidate for Natanya’s first major international event and is well equipped to manage and host such an event successfully.

The Arena

The Nightton Coliseum is a multiuse entertainment complex in the north-east region of Nightton, near to the Gigataisch shorelines. The Nightton Coliseum has multiple halls specialised for a wide arrangement of different shows and events, ranging from 100-person capacity conference rooms up to the main hall with a total capacity 22,000 at maximum seating usage. The main hall, officially known in English as the King Wilhelm Grand Hall, will be used for the contest if Nightton is chosen to host. Due to one end of the hall’s seating area needing to be used for the stage, taking into account addition floor level seating, it is estimated the hall could host a total of 16,800 live spectators for the night of the competition.

As for the Green Room, one of the complex’s medium sized halls, the Ddraig Theatre, will be transformed into a stylistically matched Green Room with individual booths for each nation’s extended delegation, including the artists, any backing singers or dancers and their relevant managers or guardians. The Green Room will also host a refreshments area and a common play area for the members of the different delegations to relax and socialise as the show commences. Press Rooms, Fan Areas and Merchandise Stores will be hosted in multiple of the smaller conference rooms throughout the complex.

The Stage

Our proposed design for the stage at the 8th Junior World Hit Festival is a large, wide and open stage, allowing lots of room for adventurous and spacious staging of each nation’s entry if desired. The stage is multi-layered, with one large main floor, and two more higher levels at each side of the stage. As well as this, the stage has 3 rising platforms that will rise from the main floor into the air.

When it comes to lighting, the stage will have one large LED screen across the back of the main level, with neon columns and hidden spotlights either side of the main LED screen, in addition to this, there are 7 neon rings suspended above the stage, the elevation of these rings can be changed to suit the staging, and each ring has a neon outlining, with an LED screen in the centre. The front of the elevated stages on either side also have LED screens and the whole stage has a neon outline. The floor of the stage itself does not have LED screens, however LED floored platforms are available if needed by a delegation, as are smaller mobile LED screens.

For further effects that may be used during a performance, we can cater for a wide range of ideas. As seen in the example images, theatrical smoke and fog is easily available, as are further lighting effects, fire and spark pyrotechnics, projections and rain effects. Computer generated augmented reality effects can be discussed with our production company beforehand if desired. Any extra props delegations would like to bring themselves they are free to do so.

Live Draw

The show is intended to feature a live draw event during the opening ceremony for the competition, which will take place the Ddraig Theatre, however with a different, more formal aesthetic than it will take for the Green Room design a week later. Broadcast online, delegations are invited and encouraged to get involved with the red-carpet event beforehand, and maybe even answer some quick optional questions in a mini interview. After all formalities are out of the way and everyone is settled in the theatre, the draw will get underway. The draw will be carried out in the following order:

1. Every competing nation shall have a piece of paper with their name and flag printed on it, which shall be rolled up and placed within a clear bowl and mixed to randomise the positions of each small scroll.
2. 3 auditors will take it in turns to choose another nation from the “Nation” bowl, and then a half for said nation to be drawn into from a second “Half” bowl.
3. If the competing number of nations is odd, Natanya will not be drawn into a half but instead will have their position drawn after the halves are revealed for each other nation. If the competing number of nations is even, Natanya’s position will be drawn first, before the halves are revealed.
4. Once the halves are revealed, the nation’s scrolls will be places back into the bowls, with the 2 bowls now housing the two separate halves.
5. Depending on the number of nations participating in the final, 2/4 nations will be chosen from the bowls again. Firstly, a nation will be chosen from each bowl, with the nation from the First Half bowl being drawn to perform first, and the nation from the second half bowl being drawn to perform last.
6. Finally, if there is 10 or more nations participating, 2 more nations will be drawn, conversely from the first two, this time the First Half bowl nation will close the first half, and the Second Half bowl nation will open the second half.
7. In the unlikely event of semi-finals occurring, this exact method would be carried out for the semis, and then again for the final. The draw for the final would be broadcast as well, however would not have a large formal audience.

Afterwards, participants would be allowed to come up on stage and collect the scrolls with their nation’s name and their half, which they are allowed to take as a keepsake, as well as quickly comment on their draw. Within 30 minutes of the draw, the complete running order will be decided by the producers and will be announced at the end of the opening ceremony.

Opening & Interval Acts

The show will open with a short intro video, which will show children from different areas travelling into Nightton on different modes of transport all under a night’s sky. This will then transition into the arena, in which some more short videos will be shown on the LEDs, chronicling the past 7 editions of the Junior contest, before opening the 8th. After this the open act proper will begin, which will see a performance from Natanyan JWHF7 entrant Juliya Togeyvo with accompaniment from a Nightton children’s choir, who will then be joined by the offical host, ending the act by officially opening the show.
If this is a somewhat sizeable edition of JWFH, a short host intervention will take place in the middle of the show, diving the two halves of the show. This host intervention would likely be a quick sing-along of a traditional Natanyan song popular with children, to share some Natanyan culture and give everyone a quick resting period.
For the voting interval act, firstly there will be a performance of some traditional Natanyan dance and general showing of some Natanyan culture, after which some children of other cultures would join the act on stage, as well as some international performers, whom will come together and perform a multilingual versions of some well known JWHF and children’s songs. The exacts of these acts depends on yet-to-happen negotiations with third parties, so certain details are subject to change, however this is the general blueprint of how the show would play out.

The Host

The chosen host for the event is Natanyan folk singer and actress Kaylileenástkadeenada Ñadiakimadoradaþínkaðerren. One of Natanya’s biggest names in Folk and Indie music, she has stayed household name for all of her decade long career. Lately she has started to venture into acting and has featured in a few Natanyan TV programmes and movies.

A veteran on the world stage, she represented Natanya back at the Worldvision Song Contest 31, the nations second only appearance. She once again represented the nation at the 54th Worldvision Song Contest, achieving 16th place both times, the entries were Natanya’s 2 best placements in the contest until the recent bronze medal at Worldvision 83.

Though best known for her Worldvision participation, Kaylileenástkadeenada has also shown interest in representing the nation at World Hit Festival as well. Participating and getting to the final of “The Natanyan Song for Mousiki”, the doomed national final for World Hit Festival 31 in which the results were never revealed. Due to this history, ever year before Natanya announces their act, she is always one of the top names that the rumour mill likes bet on, so it seems natural that she would be the first choice for hosting a Natanyan event.

Graphics & Theming

Main Logo – The main logo of the contest features 5 connected stars, that form a pentagon shape around a golden 8, set upon a deep purple background. The stars correlate to the proposed slogan for the contest, which is also shown, and encase the 8 to make it centre of the logo.

Slogan – The proposed slogan for the contest is “Play Among the Stars”. This was chosen to set the general theme for the contest, stars. A more nocturnal theme was chosen due to the contests usually taking place in the evening, with stars in particular being chosen due to their easy and recognisable shape, as well as their habit to induce childlike wonder when one thinks about them. Taken from the lyrics of the song “Fly Me to the Moon”, the exact line was chosen due to its connection with music, and its referencing to play, the fundamental childhood activity.

Postcards – Sticking with the nocturnal theme, each postcard shall present an evening or night activity in the city of Nightton. The full postcards will be written out, with the snapshot image being of the main location the postcard takes place in, with text written on as if it were and actual postcard from said location.



Header – The header for each act will feature the 5-star logo of the competition but recoloured to match the colours of the nation flag of each act, and with the 8 replaced by the nation’s name. The act details will be present either side of stars, with the artist name on the left-hand side, and the song name on the right-hand side.



Footer – The footer for each act will feature their running order number, nation name and trigramme hashtag, along with a small version of the 5-star logo.

Voting

The scoreboards will carry a common theme throughout, utilising the three main colours of the contest’s design, dark purple, deep lilac and gold as well as using star images for some of the backgrounds. These main colours are also used in the symbolism for whether a nation has voted or is yet to vote, however instead of fully colouring a nation in, this is represented by their border. A matching border means a nation is yet to vote, a golden border means the nation has voted and a deep lilac border means the nation is currently voting. During the jury vote, the scorecards will display a portrait view of each nation’s spokesperson, said spokespersons name and age and, as a way to both cover what would be wasted space and add an educational twist for the children watching, will display 3 facts about the nation that is presently voting.

Extra Information

This edition would have to have a few host requirements for delegations to fulfil. Firstly, the location visited by the delegations in their postcard will be chosen by the delegates using a “Choose Your Fate” system like has been seen at World Hit Festival in past editions. In this delegates will choose a number from a certain path, which will correspond to a postcard concept. Delegates would also need to provide up to 5 colours from their flag to be used in their heading, so the shades of said colours are the correct ones. A nation does not have to provide 5 colours, even if their flag does have 5 or more colours present on it, however it is recommended that delegates provide at least 2 or 3 colours for the headers to look their best. As well as this, the nation’s officials may be asked to help with cultivating their national facts.

Furthermore, there will be some optional opportunities for each nations representative to join in on some extra events during the weeks of the contest, including the aforementioned opening ceremony and some general press conferences, though none of this would be too intense or too long. There will also be various bits of merchandise and related media for the contest that would be revealed at a later date.

And with that...the thread is officially open!

Ignore the graphic which says Semi-Final 1 - it'll be changed when my laptop comes back. Anyway, enjoy the show. I was going to use Google Forms but don't worry about that.

The voting system, slightly altered for this contest, will see the songs ranked from 1-4, with one point going to your least favorite song and 5 going to your favorite. Voting ends on November 20.
