A beginner's guide...

Welcome to the WorldVision Song Contest, based on the Eurovision Song Contest, aiming to provide and unite nations from different parts of the World through music. The WorldVision Song contest is an outlet to showcase the popular or native music of your nation. As with every contest, there are a few simple rules and regulations that you'll need to follow.

If you don't know how to sign up, use this form below; this should help. Not all of these fields have to be filled in, but it certainly helps.

Code: Select all: [b]Nation Name:[/b] Your nation's name goes here. [b]Official Broadcaster:[/b] Your official broadcaster for WV goes here. [b]Song Title:[/b] The IC Song title goes here. [b]Artist(s) Name(s):[/b] The name of your act goes here. [b]Tune:[/b] The real life tune you're basing your song on goes here.

A debutante nation cannot bid to host the WorldVision Song Contest. A nation must have entered and completed one edition in order to qualify to host a following edition. Furthermore, a nation that has put a host bid CANNOT vote for their own bid. This ensures a democratic and fair result.
At least 80% of the song’s lyrics must be original, and translations of real life songs will result in disqualification. If you suspect another entry to be either wholly or mostly plagiarised, please telegram the WorldVision Committee with your concerns. The committee will then review the entry before making a judgement. If your entry is disqualified for whatever reason, you will not be reinstated even if you edit your entry.
All nations that post a song in the IC thread must vote. Failure to do so will result in a one-contest ban.

Each nation may enter ONE puppet nation (that is another nation controlled by the same player); the master nation must confirm their puppet on the thread. Should a nation is found to be in breach of the one-puppet nation rule, sanctions and a disqualification will be put in place.
If a nation enters a puppet nation, the maximum amount of points that can be awarded to each nation is up to five points thus ensuring a fair and more equal chance for all nations to succeed within the Contest. If a nation is found to have awarded a higher amount of points, the Committee will first allow said nation to alter their votes. If said nation fails to adhere to Committee reminders, the votes will be rendered void and will result in disqualification. A user controlling a master and puppet nation together can only award a third nation a total of 18 points.

Under no circumstances will bullying, offensive and/or intimidating language or provocations of any form be accepted within the Contest, within both IC and OOC threads. WorldVision promotes peaceful and friendly environment. Failure to comply will result in disqualification. If at any point, you feel you are a victim, or feel someone has been victimized by another nation, contact the Committee, or a member of the Committee immediately. The Committee will ensure anonymity/confidentiality at all times.

Only the current host of a Contest or the WorldVision Committee can reveal results during the voting process. Conspiring with fellow users to rig any of the votes is illegal and will result in sanctions.
Users may "reserve" slots in the running order of the contest, but if you do so and don't finish your entry by the deadline, you will receive a one-contest ban. An entry is accepted if it has a complete set of lyrics, regardless of whether stage directions have been finalized or not. You may also state that you are withdrawing from the contest on the OOC thread.
Users may not edit their entries or votes after the deadlines for any reason, including spelling or grammatical errors, unless otherwise instructed to by the Committee. If you'd like to edit something in after the deadline, please ask the Committee for permission first.

So basically, be original, try to be fair, don't be a jerk, and have fun. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to TG the Committee - it helps if you add the Committee's individual member names (Achaean Republic, Ertzei Kishim, Mister X, Polkopia, Todlichebujoku) in the "To:" box along with "WorldVision Committee" for a faster response.

Even if you've missed the deadline or aren't participating, feel free to discuss the contest in this thread or post commentary in the IC. You'll find that people greatly appreciate some good commentary.

With all that said, welcome to WorldVision!

Rather than bore everyone with the IC reason why I skipped over the last one, I'll just say that ETV has confirmed that Elejamie will be competing in the 77th WorldVision Song Contest. The news was then followed a couple of days later with ETV then announcing that they'll be represented by Eterna, who'd send their song Goodbye. Don't worry, I'm not leaving for good, that's just the name of the song.

THE PEOPLE SPEAK: 1ST ANNUAL NATIONAL FINAL

After the relative failures of Amuaplyean entries in the past several editions, ATV has decided that enough was enough. It was time to let the people decide. Everyone gets a vote. The song would be given, along with a section of lyrics, tune, the song's name, and artist. This was going to guarantee a good spot.

SONG 1:
Love and War - The Hypnotist
Tune: Vicarious - Tool

Merely a pawn in this game (x2)
A face and a name only meant for needless bloodshed
Why has nothing changed 'round here
Disaster's at ev'ry step
A face and a name only meant for needless bloodshed

SONG 2:
A Few Men - A Cry for Help
Tune: The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes in Waves

Now I'm just crying for help
For help
Please help! (Oooh)

This is just a cry for help (Oooh) (x2)
Tragedy occurs (x2)
Why...

SONG 3:
Jeremy Barker - Seventy Seven
Tune: Jamiroquai - Canned Heat

It's all right, nothing is bad going on
Hop on a plane and appear on the stage
I will never leave you behind baby

SONG 4:
Matthew Cuevas - Uncertainty
Tune: Panic! at the Disco - There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet

(x2):
And I know, that you know It just doesn't feel like a great day
With no one critiquing your deeds
It's always scandals and constant attacks
Because the news just doesn't seem that much fun without

Please vote for your favorite song at atv.am/polls/2019/0124093744.

i actually hate this style of writing but it is honestly about the aesthetic now
ill only do it in this post i promise

obligatory i may do a national final and i may do a host bid even though based on my track record of saying that and not actually doing that the odds are fairly unlikely to say the least especially considering i am making the most of my time in alaska but i guess well wait and see huh

congratulations to polkopia for the win
i continue my run of low-top 10s and high top 20s even though this sentence doesnt make sense

Yeehaw!
God, how long has it been since I participated?
Too long, that’s what!
Sco77ish Socialists are back, and we’re gonna be better than ever!
Sure, I may have only finished on the left side of the rankings once, and I may have come last in WHF after an admittedly horrible entry ‘Spooky Time’.
Wouldn’t want to remember that one, would you?
Would make your ears vomit.

Anyhow, bid and NF incoming!
(as always...)

Sinun Valintasi returns in a miniature form for the 77th and 78th WorldVision Song Contests.

Competing tonight are three acts: Hina Ruoho, MÜRÁKKÁÁN, and SV veteran EKranz.

Full Playlist

Hina Ruoho - "ALCHEMY"
Tune: RIYA - ПОЛЮСИ

You strip me down to alchemy, divining what you please
Don't treat me like your fantasy

You strip me down to alchemy, divining what you please
You're draining all my energies

MÜRÁKKÁÁN - "Mürsküstá"
Tune: BEAST IN BLACK - Sweet True Lies

Poika, poika, voin pelastaa sut tánáán (Boy, my boy, I can save you tonight)

Kuulen sut kilyunut apua mürsküstá (I hear you calling out for help from the storm)
Mürsküstá (From the storm)

EKranz - "Insane/Afraid"
Tune: G.E.M. - AWAY

Been feeling just insane, insane, insane, insane
So broken and insane, insane, insane, insane
Too lost to see the healing light of yesterday
Now I'm naked and afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid
Afraid, afraid, afraid

Please send your ranking to me via TG or Discord DM (your Discord downlow Tobu), with your first choice marked. Voting will most likely close around host voting time but may be closed earlier.

Scotatrova announces Internal Selection, abandons
Scotatrovian Song Selection for WorldVision 77

The STRC has confirmed Scotatrova's participation in the 77th WorldVision Song Contest. The Scotatrovian Song Selection was introduced in WorldVision 74 as the platform to select the Scotatrovian delegate for the WorldVision Song Contest. Due to a last minute disqualification and replacement of the Selection's last entrant Manuel Flauirnse and the immense uproar that followed, the STRC confirmed this year there will be no Scotatrovian Song Selection. The broadcaster is already at work on the selection of the entry internally.
