Each year, Achróa celebrates its music scene by holding a large festival dedicated solely to Achróan music.
The turnout rate to the festival has increased steadily over 17 years. Now, the festival is expected to reach record levels of attendance thanks to the introduction of democracy and the increase in foreign relations.
Each edition, 36 songs are sent and divided into 4 semifinals with 9 songs - the 4 best-scoring songs will advance directly to the Finale Émençë, as well as two non-qualifiers from a Second Chance round. One half will survive, while the other half will be eliminated. The Finale Émençë consists of 18 songs - but only one will win.
For the first time in the festival's history, foreign juries will have influence over the results of the edition. All countries are invited to vote in any semifinal, the Second Chance round and the Finale Émençë. Continuous voting may result in some extra benefits such as "double points" (i.e - 12 becomes 24, 10 becomes 20).
The voting system remains unclear at the moment, and you will be updated when the voting system is announced.
In the meantime, STA has released a schedule of the preliminary times of each event:

Excluding the announcement days, the festival will take 18 days to complete (if on schedule) and will require some commitment.
If you wish to be tagged for the announcement, or you do not wish to be tagged at all during the festival - please state now.
Excluding the announcement tags, you may be tagged approximately 18 more times by me, and I can see that is an annoyance. Speak up or be annoyed!
We hope your time in Achróa will be warm and cheery.
