Do you like the font change? I've been doing some revamping.
In one week, the fourth edition of the NowNewMusic contest will commence. 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.
The contest will be held in the island of Taiwan in the capital, Taipei after their win in the third edition.
Announce your confirmation for the contest in this thread.

SIMPLIFIED RULES:
Players:
1. Player limit is 25 for one grand final. Any more and we will go to either a pre-qualification round or semi-final(s).
2. Countries are first come, first serve as long as they haven't been claimed by a previous player.
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. Artists native to a dependent territory can only represent their parent country. If an artist is native to a non-UN member country, they can only represent the country which they have direct cultural relations with (like Kosovo for Albania/ Serbia).
8. An act of 2-4 people requires at least one person to satisfy rules to represent a specific country.
9. An act of 5 or more people requires at least one person to be 100% of a specific country.
10. An artist can represent a country if they have an active career (4+ years) within the country.
Entries:
11. Any language is allowed.
12. Entries must be 1:30-7:00 long.
12. Please provide a 25-second time slot for the recap.
13. Only entries released within April-May 2016 are eligible for this edition. This is the rule that makes this contest unique.
14. Music/lyric videos uploaded by an official YouTube channel (VEVO, record label, artist) within April/May 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.
15. Up to 2 ESC entries are allowed if they didn't place in the top 20 in the grand final! Entries from national selections and other real-life song contests are also allowed.
16. Covers/remixes are allowed if the original songs were officially released within March/April/May.
17. Instrumentals are accepted.
18. Record labels can send artists for their home country regardless of the artist.
19. National Selections are allowed. I recommend a poll because it's quicker and less complicated.
Voting:
20. Don't publish votes and don't vote for yourself.
21. If you made a mistake in voting, I will notify you ASAP; you will be given a one-day extension.
22. 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.
23. Any replacement will be given a two-day extension, but I would still like the original player's votes at best.
24. 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.
Last month's player for Russia (ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋ) was disqualified, so Russia is free to take by anyone.
