Now that the highest (country) from the previous edition isn't competing, I'd like to make a few remarks about the submission system. 1. I think it wouldn't hurt to have over 30 countries competing, considering the fact that users are usually given 10 days to vote; this'll also ensure that everyone can participate. 2. In my opinion, it's a bit weird that the highest placing (country) isn't participating in the consecutive edition, so perhaps like WWWSC have the top 3 of each edition reserved (but can be replaced if not submitting song on time). 3. I don't think it's fair that a Facebook player gets a reserved spot when they didn't win the previous edition nor participated before?
Although Shania Twain was originally announced as the Canadian act for this edition, CBC has decided to instead send a different artist next edition. Hints for the artist will be revealed when the results are published.

Omg she's really called Kuh? lmao in German that means cow. Omg I loved that ladadidada part back then lol. It's actually even the only part of it I remember. That made me laugh out loud (already the song title did as well). Oh I know this - because it was on the react channel a few weeks ago. Sounds like a particular Dutch entry from long ago. Laurinda

Submissions for the 37th edition are already fullI'm sorry to the ones who missed it, but you can still submit your entries before the deadline and be entered for the 38th edition. Nooo!! I hate this! This is the 3th or 4th round i can't participate. Really stupid. This time i was sure to post an entry on time, but because of work i couldn't participate on 15.00. And I forgot to do it when I was at home. Fuck so irritating . Sorry if I react to angry, but I really don't like this Anyway I can get a place for next edition Laurinda? That would be very nice

Although Shania Twain was originally announced as the Canadian act for this edition, CBC has decided to instead send a different artist next edition. Hints for the artist will be revealed when the results are published. 1. That was suggested when limit was 26. It was raised. Twice. And then 30 isn't enough ... so 32 ... and when that doesn't work 34, 35 and so on until it's unlimited or the contest explodes under the pressure. I cannot foresee how many there will be in the future. 2. Highest placing country is participating and it's USA. It would make no sense for the winner to be out. That was the only reserved place since it was implemented. Nobody ever before asked nor mentioned the top 3 reserved spots. While in WWWSC there are and people want top 10 or top 15. Though the top 3 could be considered, nothing more than that. 3. IDK where you have this information from, but it's false. Only Ashley will take part via Facebook this edition. There was never any other FB players.
I personally find the submissions more an more stressful as I see there are more people interested as there are spots. I feel like there's work for a small group of people and I do it all alone. During the submissions I didn't manage to listen to any of the songs I was just keeping track of how many are in, how many are left and who can be out. So I don't even know if one is a cover or so. I just feel at a loss with the rules. I've come up with my own and could only become more strict so some people are automatically out. For example: you're only in when you post your entry - no forums PM, no YT PM - That would cast out up to two countries.
And about not being able to submit for so many editions in a row would mean you'd be completely inactive for each submissions week. This time I made it a week so people who are out have time to be in the next one.
So I'm not just ranting around, I'd like to take a moment, if you're still reading this massive text, and thank Pirl for updating the wiki, and to the players that like to participate and make me smile when I get your messages with such lovely words. It touches me so much. Thanks for participating and making it one of the hardest contests to vote in.

It touches me so much. Thanks for participating and making it one of the hardest contests to vote in. I understand with the other answers, but with the limit of countries I think it wouldn't hurt to increase it to around 30-32 countries (and not more) since users are given 10 days to vote. Alternatively, if the limit isn't raised, I think it'd be nice to have 3-4 days less to vote, as the users who vote late would always vote in the last days of the deadline anyway (something I used to do). And for the cover rule: since the confirmations period is about a week, you can accept entries first and then listen. Nonetheless, thanks for this great contest. It's nice to have a contest with music throwing us back into the 2000s and years before.

You still have time to submit until the end of 30th July if you want to be in the 38th edition.➤ Running order is published on the Wikia➤ Images you can find here (there's still time to change them)A short explanation about the flag design.
