Please have in mind that these are the MAIN things I consider when selecting the themes:
1. ONLY those ''doable'' suggestions will be taken into consideration. That is, anything I consider out of reach to you as players or to me as host won't be in considered for the final list.
2. Try making your suggetion so that it doesn't affect certain countries or give advantage to other countries.
3. The themes from previous editions, and won't be repeated, were:
* 5th and 15th edition: ''Send a song in your national language'' * 10th edition: ''Only songs that participated between FoM #1 and FoM #9 are allowed to take part, not including winners'' * 30th edition: ''Participate with a different country just for one edition/random countries'' * 35th edition: ''Deep research (less than 10k views) + FIFA themed edition''
4. Try using themes that don't alter the main core of the contest too much.
5. Original suggestions will take priority over those that were already suggested in previous editions/participated in a previous poll. Although they can still be selected.
You can show support/disapproval to other themes that have already been suggested by either liking the post where that theme is or by repeating it or just posting a comment of support. This is greatly taking into consideration when I select the themes.
After the deadline passes, it'll be up to me (and only me) to select which themes I consider are the best (please consider that it'll be me the one in charge of 'putting the theme in practice', after all, only). Around 6 or 7 themes will be put in a poll to decide the theme of the 40th edition.

The themes have been selected!
As always, thank you very much for the huge amount of suggestions you posted and the great interest you showed for this edition If I'm honest, this is the part I enjoy the most of special editions, that it's you the ones who come up with these amazing ideas
Anyway, a brief explanation of the how's and why's before revealing the themes:
- A total of SEVEN themes were selected, so that we have 'one theme for everyone' (if everyone likes at least ONE of them I'd be happy) and so that I get more players' ideas participating in the poll, considering the mentioned participation. - As usual, I won't include who originally suggested the theme, to avoid bias voting. - Some ideas were slightly modified to make them more fit for the contest. - This time I got a lot of ''doable'' and enjoyable suggestions! so I had to go through these filters: 1. There were several suggestions that had already participated in previous polls, ONLY those who received a massive amount of support were included. 2. Later I skipped those that I've seen in other contests, or those consiered as the 'most common ones'. After doing these both filters I still had like 10 themes. 3. I had to apply my own sense of what I think my players would enjoy the most and what could also be more reasonable/confortable for me to host. That's how I ended up with these 7 themes. Without delaying this more, these are the selected themes:
THEME #1
RETRO EDITION Only songs from before 2000 can participate. THEME#2
ONLY POPULAR/OVERUSED SONGS
Only those songs that were very popular (in or out of the forum) can participate, the 'originality' rule (+5 contests) wouldn't apply for this edition. THEME #3
SENIOR EDITION Contrary to 'Junior' editions, only those above certain age would be able to participate (older than 50, for example). THEME #4
THREE WORDS EDITION All participants submit three different words, later they are randomly allocated to everyone and the participant must find a song related to one of those three words they got. THEME #5
INCOGNITO EDITION The songs are completely anonymous through the whole edition: the songs would be submitted normally but only via PM, in the recaps there would only be an audio and number for the song (no country, song name or video). THEME #6
00:00 SLOTS In the recap, all the songs will begin at a 00:00 timeslot.
THEME #7
BAD/TROLL/BORING EDITION Participants wuld need to vote for the ''worst'' song, being it bad, boring or trolly. EXTRA 'THEME' (AND ALSO WHY THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT POLLS)
DIFFERENT VOTING SYSTEM IF you want a different voting system, you can vote in the poll above, this would be an ADDITION to the special theme, meaning this'd be combined with the winning theme. The options are:
I don't want a special voting system: Normal voting (12-1). ExtendedESC voting style: 20, 17, 14, 12, 10, 8-1 points (13 songs). Lucky 7: 7, 5, 3, 2, 1 (5 songs). Pyramid: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5 (7 songs). General ranking: All songs are ranked in a list, so that the one with lowest average wins. Why weren't these popular themes selected? (those that received likes/support/were repeated)
Same genre/specific genre/specific requirements like male or bands: I've seen this suggestion very often through the years, and usually is barely voted in the end And voting in an 'all-same' genre recap might be tiring. Two songs per participant: At first it sounded interesting to me, but later I realised that would mean I'd have to download, edit and note a total of 100 songs while you'd also have a harsh time voting and listening to too many songs, so yeah Cinematic/from soundtracks: It could be very difficult for some countries, although it did make it to the final 10 themes. Martin's system (got a lot of likes): Unfortunately I found such system to be similar to what we already had, with some variations, thus I didn't consider it. If you want to know why one specific theme wasn't selected, please do ask, I have very specific reasons for each one of them Better luck next time to those who didn't get any theme selected and hope you like at least some of the ones that made it to the poll
THE VOTING BEGINS NOW!
As you can see, you can vote to TWO different polls:
- Voting for the edition's theme: You have to send me a PM here in the forum with the one or two themes you like the most. You can vote for your own suggested theme.
- Selecting the voting system for this edition: Just vote in the poll above which ones you like the most (up to two). If there's a considerable amount of 'I don't want a special voting system' votes, then it won't be applied.
Deadline is the night of JULY 12TH Due to schedule, I'm giving a big amount of days to vote, but also I want to have the most number of participants voting in the polls
Greetings and hope this post is understandable and not too long If you have any question feel free to ask!
Also I'd love to know your opinion on the selected themes, so I can improve my sense of 'what my participants want' in the future

In the extended ESC style, why does it go 20-17-15-12 instead of 20-17-14-12??
Mathematically the 2nd method would make more sense.

Most of them sound amazing! In fact I like 6/8 of the options. I'm now just trying to be unbiased because of my country. (I mean is there any overused song from Angola for example? ) But generally I'm happy with the selection.
About the voting system: I don't like having a different voting system at all. It'd be interesting for one edition, but generally it's just not for me!
