Welcome to a new contest!
It's been 7 years since I hosted a contest of my own (i.e. being the main host), Worldvision Song Contest to be specific, and I was starting to become a bit nostalgic last night and wanted to host one again.
Why Yoshi, you might ask? Well, why not. He's by far one of the best (if not the best) characters in the Super Mario franchise and is loved by many members on the forum. Also I thought that "Diva Song Contest" would be a bit too generic 💞
The aim of this contest is to showcase more unknown and rising talent from around the world. I can't be bothered doing a full rulebook so here's some important rules:
Divas & their songs:
Divas must be from or have a strong connection to the country. For groups, only 1/3 of them need to be from a country to represent it. For smaller nations, this may be relaxed a bit. I encourage smaller nations to be represented so I am willing to bend the rules a bit for them.
Technically there's no age limit for the songs. For the first edition though the girls must be alive..
However, please be aware that all songs must not exceed 15 million views on YouTube.
Also please be diligent with who you send. Homophobia, racism, transphobia etc will not be tolerated here. Artists who are openly homophobic, racist, transphobic or support genocide/war will not be permitted.
Which countries can take part?
Pretty much anywhere on Earth can be represented - including all UN members + Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan and Vatican City.
This also includes British overseas territories and crown dependencies, French territories, Dutch territories and so on. However they all must be inhabited and must be represented by acts that are native to the territory, so don't try sending Nicki Minaj for Kingman Reef. NO BORROWING IS ALLOWED!!!
There are a few exceptions though:
There's a first for everything, and so that's why Antarctica will be permitted to participate in the contest! However, the acts must be connected to the continent and there's no borrowing allowed.
In Europe, Abkhazia, Artsakh, N*rthern Cyprus, South Ossetia and Transnistria cannot participate.
In Africa, Ceuta & Melilla will participate as one entity. Somaliland cannot participate for the moment. Also if anyone's interested - Ascension Island & Tristan da Cunha will participate as part of Saint Helena. I say this because y'all find music from just about anywhere on this planet.
In America (North & South) - Saint Barthélemy & Saint Martin will compete as one entity due to their small industries.
There may be territories I forgot about or rules I forgot about. Please ask me on Discord if you're unsure about anything, or if you're only on the forum you can ask me here too. Make sure you include a timeslot (25 secs) in your post and if your entry has no music video an RV. PowerPoint can only do so much hunni..
Let the music play! 💋
