International Edition

Could be about songs that feature singers from at least two different countries and/or singers who have roots or connections to other countries (as said in the diaspora edition idea before)

Retro FoM

E.g. songs from pre-2000 (this always gets suggested but never taken, maybe one day O:)

), I personally find the idea of 50+ year old songs interesting, but it might scare people off

Masked FoM:

Would be pretty much the same as FoM #40, but this time every entry hides behind some character (vamp)

Events Edition:

Songs that are related to/about events, tournaments, national holidays (e.g. Christmas songs as well as songs for a football tournament)

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

Interesting but it could be very tricky for many smaller countries without much foreign residents

The themes have been selected!

I received a total of 44 unique themes suggestions, a lot of them were great, so it was VERY difficult to just select a few. Because of this huge amount, I decided to include NINE themes this time, this way there's a big variety and I'm sure you'll like at east one of these ideas

I selected these themes very carefully considering the amount of likes the posts received and those that I considered to be the most interesting and possible for every country.

1. Overused songs: Only songs that have participated in more than 3 contests can participate.

2. All-stars: Send your country's best placing artist again.

3. New countries only: Only countries that haven't debuted in FoM are allowed to participate for one edition.

4. Covers of worldwide hits: Send covers of popular songs (as long as the original hasn't participated).

5. Male edition: Only male artists are allowed to participate (considering roughly 80% of FoM entries are by female artists).

6. Live edition: Send the live performance version of your entry.

7. Start over: Send a song from before the creation of the contest (May 14th, 2014).
8. Retro edition: Send songs from before 2000.

9. Pairing game: Each participant has to choose 3 songs for the paired participant to pick from (one has to be from a previous artists).

NOW IT'S TIME TO VOTE!!!

How can you vote?? You can vote for ONE or TWO themes. All you have to do is send me your favorite theme(s) via a Private Message (on the forum, Discord or Messenger).

I will close the voting during this weekend and there will be one or two reminders.

Greetings and may the best theme win

I am a fervent supporter of the "Start Over" theme.

It's the perfect way to honor the contest in its milestone 50th edition. This would be a great throwback to when it all began. Additionally, literally every country can adapt to this. No bells and whistles. Just send a song released before May 2014, which every country can easily do.

- "Overused" and "All-Stars" are in their way overused concepts for special editions.
- "Covers" and "Live Edition" would certainly be hard for some countries.
- "Male Edition" and "New Countries" have less appeal (and more difficult at first glance I imagine, especially the latter, a huge adjustment).
- Why have a "Retro" edition when you can have an edition where you can send songs sent before May 2014 instead of 2000? There's more accessible songs to choose from pre-2014 instead of pre-2000.
- The "Pairing" idea? Too tedious.

The Festival of Miracles deserves to "Start Over".

(come up with a better slogan for me)

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

You have to send your country's best placing artist again. All you have to do is not pick a debuting country

You can join next edition regardless of the selected theme

If the 2nd theme is selected, just like Laurinda said, you just get to pick a country that has participated before and send their best placing artist again
