My suggestions: All Stars: only send artists that has taken part in FoM previously. Memes: send a song that became a meme that's from your country. This would either be the best or worst theme ever. National Anthems: Send your country's national anthems. Biggest Names: Send a well known artist from your country. National Selection Stars: ESC national selection songs. Just Dance songs: Songs featured in Just Dance.

Maybe a Pairing game where each country is paired with someone else as
EITHER:
The HoD has to choose 3 songs for the paired HoD to pick from.
Or find an act with the nationality of the pair
Or Find an act that has joint nationality with the host nation

Or find an act with the nationality of the pair Or Find an act that has joint nationality with the host nation I also thought about pairs and other modes of collaboration but I was confronted to some issues.
If the host of a country receives suggestions from a pair - I also imagined a similar system where each HoD would receive one suggestion by four different HoDs (not necessary knowing who they are), with potentiel AQ spots for the players who proposed the chosen songs if they perform well - there is one big issue: what can we do if the HoD doesn't want to use any of the songs proposed? - Obliging the HoD to send one of these songs even if he doesn't like any of them? - Allowing him to send another song if he wants (and all of the players who proposed their songs would have lost their time)? - Allowing him to host a national selection with at least one of the suggested songs and songs he chose himself, without saying which songs were suggested (but we know that there are very few voters in national selections)? - Allowing him to ask for more suggestions (that would be time consuming)?
Another mode of collaboration I thought about was a pairing system where the results of associated countries would be combined but there, my main issue was due to the fact that some HoDs have an AQ spot while the others don't, and I didn't find any satisfying solution that could eliminate this bias. Additonallly, the winning song could not be in the winning team, which would be a bit awkward.

Additonallly, the winning song could not be in the winning team, which would be a bit awkward. I suppose maybe that is part of the game to show exposure from a different side of a country's music industry you aren't familiar with. My biggest concern would be that you could set someone up to choose out of really bad songs. To overcome this there needs to be some scoring incentive that if one does well then so does the other. OR just make sure you send good songs as you'd feel bad if you set someone up to lose. But at the end of the day its just a special edition we would all be in the same boat. The duel descent can work as normal as if I (England) was paired with eg... Germany I would have to find an English/Germany singer.

Idk how many have been suggested before but here I go;
1. A melodifestivalen-like edition; An edition whose format is inspired by Melfest, but obviously, with way more songs. For example, say 42 countries compete (as I think was the case last edition), 6 AQs, and 4 semifinals with 9 songs each, 3 songs qualify directly, 3 go to the second Chance, and 3 are eliminated (the format would be decided by you obviously but these are suggestions for a general concept), the 12 songs in the second Chance face each other in 6 duels, and the winners also advance. That would lead us to at least 24 finalists and you could extend that if you introduce more qualifiers from each semi / more AQs / a wildcard / potential ties etc.
EDIT; Perhaps 4 qualifiers and 2 second Chance songs is more appropriate? Idk but that could be decided later on lmao)
2. Third language edition; Send a song in a language that is not an official language of the country in question, and is not English (e.g. Spain singing in French or Sweden singing in Greek), I don't know if that should include regional languages (e.g. Catalan for Spain or Breton for France), up to you.
3. Diaspora edition; I think you have a two parent limitation, maybe this edition songs could be from singers with, say, 1 parent/grandparent from country in question or smth.
4. Foreign acts edition; send anyone as long as they have nothing to do with the country in question, a total mayhem (maybe limit originality though so you avoid Shakira for Lesotho or smth)

1. Everyone must send an artist that was born the same year as the participant. 2. Send an artist that is a child of a singer (at least one of the band members). 3. Mother's day and/or Father's day - send a song that has something to do with a mother and/or father. (The words that mean mother and father must be in the title.) 4. Spring and summer are all about planting and growing, so why not a plant edition. Everyone must send a song with a plant in the title ((a specific) tree, flower, fruit). 5. Someone suggested a female edition, but we already have plenty of those so I suggest a male vocal edition. No women allowed!! (except the participants ) I don't think I've seen any of these themes in any of the contests and they should be doable for every country in theory.

Sinclair Great idea with Citivision has gone, I would suggest that in the 50th edition, everyone competes as Cities. Would be fun I guess

If it’s not too late, we could do a POC edition? No white people, only minority groups. (Biracial is okay)
