~ Nation Tour ~
Welcome to Nation Tour, a contest for everybody, but a little different than your own-average-contest.
I'm your host for this contest, Aliya . Me, alongside other 2 hosts (β¨π & alexeh ) will be your guide in this rollercoaster trip, and of course, to make sure that the rules are perserved as they are.
You might wonder, what's so special about this one?
Well, to sum it in a few words, Nation Tour is a contest held each month, in which we have 26 participants (as most) competing. The purpose of the contest is to make something a little bit different around here, and to reduce the number of countries at just one - therefore each user will have to find a song from the respective nation the council will put in place.
(example: we choose China, each user will have to find a Chinese song, otherwise, they won't be allowed to compete)

To make it clear about the rules, especially for the ones interested, here they are:
- Each entry has to be approved by the council, with 3/3 approval. Which means, we all have to approve the entry.
- As the contest is quite new and I'm a major flop at hosting, as it's my first time (lol, yay me), the limit of users we can receive at most is 26.
- As usual, no J(ESC), nor NS songs are allowed.
- In order to represent its nation, the artist has to have at least 1 parent native from there.
- The songs have to be released after 2005.
- Alongside your entry, you have to bring up a 25 seconds timeslot.
- You cannot reveal your entry untill the results from the previous edition are up.
- Covers are allowed in general - however they aren't allowed in case if it's a cover after a previous entry which participated in Nation Tour.
- The winning song will go further to the so-called "The Ultimate Final".
- As we have the power here, each rule will have it's own consequences.
- Oh, by the way, in order to maintain the originality around here, mainstream singers (example: Fifth Harmony, Little Mix, Beyonce, etc) are NOT allowed in the contest. And no, neither with a song which didn't charted by them.
Nation Tour type of voting will be the ESC style (1-8, 10 and 12), and not voting will receive a little brick on the head.
(3 bricks = a ban from the upcoming edition, heh, gotta love those bricks)
Now, let's go to a fairly more important subject:
Nation Tour #1
As you've probably read from the title, the first edition of Nation Tour will be hosted in New York, United States of America.
The ones which are willing to take the challenge, you will have to find an unknown American song, send it to the council (alongside timeslot, of course), and you're ready to go.
What can I say more about it? If you have questions tied of the contest itself, be free to ask on the thread.
With all those said, we declare the contest open. Be free to confirm on the thread!

(oh, btw, if you don't want to be tagged for this, just tell me or any of the council members, okay? thanks )
