WWWSC - Special Edition Suggestions Thread

1. “Other players decide the artist for you – you decide the song”: Each player will be given a participating country. They will have to choose an artist from this country and then the player of the country will have to submit a song performed by that artist (as a solo artist or as part of a duet/band).

2. “Brand new songs (released from August 2016 on)”: Players will only have to submit brand new songs that were released in August 2016 earliest.

3. “Troll Edition (Funny/Joke songs)”: Only funny songs will be accepted. In case a song doesn’t sound as a funny entry to us, the player will have to provide us with a suitable and convincing reason for submitting it.

4. “Sending a song based on one of our 49 winners (decided by draw)”: A winner will be given to each player. Then, the entry submitted should be somehow relevant to that winner. For instance, it could be something inspired from the title or a line from the lyrics of the song, a song of the same language or with the same title, a duet with the winning artist, a song performed by a band in case it’s a band that had won etc. (As the number of players exceeds 49, some winning entries will be used more than once).

5. “Ethnic/Traditional songs/Songs about your country”: The entry could include ethnic/traditional sounds or it could be a song talking about the country you represent. Songs performed in a national dialect or in a minority language of the country are also accepted.

6. “Casting show winners/participants”: The artist should be a contestant of a previous/current series of a casting show (his/her result in the show shall not count).
7. “Live edition (only live performed songs)”: The audio provided should be part of a live performance (e.g. a performance taken from a concert).
8. “Songs from 2011 (1st year of the contest)”: The submitted entries should have a release date between the 1st of January and the 31st of December of 2011, as that was the year that the WWW Song Contest began.

After a long time of waiting and suggesting plenty of interesting ideas (thank you for your time and dedication), the moment has finally come! We have considered every single suggestion of every single player and we present you the 8 ideas that we, the WWW Song Contest Admins, think would be the most interesting for our Special 50th Edition! Please vote for up to 3 themes and if you want to, you can also add your comments in the space provided at the bottom of the poll.

Wondering where you will find the poll? The link will be shortly sent to you as a Personal Message. The reason is that we don't want anyone else, apart from people who are currently taking part or who might wish to return to vote for the theme of the edition, in which they will or might submit an entry.

What do you think? Let us hear from you! We hope you share the same excitement as we do!
