East Vision Song Contest
Rulesbook & Blacklist
Below is the rules that are applied in the contest as well as the blacklist of the contest.
1. Songs that were released before 2010 are not allowed to participate.
2. Covers are strictly forbidden.
3. Revamped versions/Remixes are allowed as long as they feature the official singer.
4. There's no limit over the length of a song.
5. The entry must be selected via the Selection Methods listed below.
6. All of the other rules that are further explained in this thread must be respected.
A broadcaster can opt for an Internal Selection (IS). There are two rules to keep in mind concerning the Internal Selection process:
1. The singer/group must be completely native/has to have roots to that country.
2. Each internally-selected entry must be sent in advance by PM to the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (APBU) for approval. In case the entry is rejected, the broadcaster has the chance to submit another song to the council.
The following table includes a list of nations who are able to participate in the East Vision Song Contest, but due to their relatively small music industry they're allowed to borrow acts from one or two neighbouring nations.
PLEASE NOTE: These nations CANNOT borrow musicians who only have descent from the country they are borrowing from.
If a player doesn't behave correctly or fails to complete the required tasks, he will receive a number of strikes, depending on the severity of the various cases.
If a user receives a total of 3 strikes, the player will be forced to withdraw from the contest.
Exceptions are made for detected internet problems or other issues,
but it is HIGHLY recommended to inform the council in case an inactivity time is expected.
If you have any questions regarding the rules of the contest or
if you didn't understand something, ask below in the thread!
