Are you wondering what WorldVision is? Here is the current edition: WorldVision 91 OOC
Over the last few months, we have been drawing up plans for what Special Edition the WorldVision community would like to see and the results are officially in. Of the 24 votes given, we have a clear top 2 for the choice of edition, and despite the decent stack of 17 votes of agreement for the Secret Santa special, 22/24 have plumped for the first ever RetroVision Song Contest!
Now, we also decided to ask how you'd like to see said RetroVision done, and there was a clear winner there as well, with the 1980s taking a clear preference with 17 of the 24 voters opting for it. Therefore, this means that this Special Edition shall be...
Yes, we toyed with the concept back in WorldVision 80, but the spirit of the 80s will be in full force in our special edition contest! There are, of course, some things of note to include in this:
- For the hosting, it shall be open to any nation that has successfully taken part in at least ONE WorldVision Song Contest. Please post your bids here, you have just under a week (until Monday 31st May) to complete a bid to host.
- For what actually classes as an entry, the WV Committee will take an inclusive approach, in that entries that use base songs outside of the 1980-1989 year boundary will be allowed if they are done in the spirit of the sounds of the 1980s. This will be done on a case-by-case basis, and as with the orchestral versions of the World Hit Festival, any entrants unsure of their entry's suitability may send the Committee their idea to see if it sufficiently fits the criteria. Naturally, any song specifically released within the boundaries of 1980 and 1989 will be accepted without further qualification.
- The use of an orchestra, as in the style of 1980s Eurovision Song Contests will not be mandatory, and their inclusion will be dependent on the host nation.
