IT'S BACK!
Welcome to the NowNewMusic contest, hosted once again by the Philippines, this time in Quezon City! The purpose of this contest is to introduce new and current songs into the world of online song contests (before they become overused in other contests), resulting in an unpredictable and fun show.
Announce your confirmation for the contest in this thread.

SIMPLIFIED RULES:
Players:
1. Player limit is 25.
2. Countries are first come, first serve, unless they were claimed last edition.
3. If you participated last edition and want to change countries, announce your withdrawal of your current country so that another player may claim it.
Countries:
4. Only UN member countries + Palestine, Taiwan, and Vatican City are eligible to participate.
5. Some countries are allowed to borrow; if you have questions, ask me.
Artists:
6. Artists must be alive and be of any age.
7. Artists can represent a certain country if they were born in the country and/or their (grand)parents are from there.
8. An act of 2-4 people requires at least one person to satisfy rules to represent a specific country.

Entries:
10. Please provide a 25-second time slot for the recap.
11. Only entries released within February-March 2016 are eligible for this edition. This is probably the most important rule that identifies this contest.
12. Music/lyric videos uploaded by an official YouTube channel (VEVO, record label, artist) within Feb./Mar. 2016 are allowed regardless of their first release date. YouTube offers possible entries. Live performances are also accepted if they are from an official channel as well.
13. Up to two ESC entries are allowed! Other national selection entries are allowed, too.
14. Covers/remixes are allowed if they were officially released within Jan./Feb./Mar.
15. Instrumentals are accepted.
16. Record labels can send artists for their home country regardless of the artist.
17. No National Selections until we get a board.
Voting:
18. Don't publish votes and don't vote for yourself.
19. If you made a mistake in voting, I will notify you ASAP; you will be given a one-day extension.
20. If you can't vote, give me an explanation. I'll gladly attempt to provide a replacement. You will not be punished if you do.
21. Any replacement will be given a two-day extension, but I would still like the original player's votes at best.
22. Ties are broken by whichever country received votes from the greater number of countries.
P.S. - I may ask questions related to the rules just in case, but I hope to not do it a lot.
