Good evening Fantasia and welcome to the 2nd edition of..
Having been introduced in the 9th edition of Fantasia Contest, DRTV, the  Dýrian broadcaster, has decided to make a 2nd installment of the project. The first edition saw  Róisín O win the selection with her song Warn me of Silence, coming 4th in the 9th edition of the contest.
A few weeks ago, DRTV already confirmed that the next Dýrian entry will be in Dýrian for the first time (if you're wondering -  Icelandic in RL)
DRTV has decided to make that initial confirmation into the overall theme for this selection.
What changes have occurred?
If anything, DRTV has decided to add a split jury and televoting system to test it out - and see if they will use it in the future.
Juries will be selected randomly. If you desire to become a jury, please state your intention below! 10 will make the final cut.
Should 10 countries only apply, then those 10 will automatically be juries. However if more than 10 apply, a draw will be held. Everyone else will be welcome to vote in a poll which will represent the televoting.
How can I become a jury?
You need to be a HoD or Co-HoD* of a Fantasia Country. If you wish to apply, please state your intention below. The application phase will close on November 2nd, 2017.
*If you are a Co-HoD, you need the permission of the HoD to apply.
SONGS
6 songs will participate, all will be in the Dýrian language. They will all participate in just one final.
1 artist is rumoured to be returning and the other 5 will be new.
The announcements are going to start soon. Please let me know if you want to be tagged 
This will be the only tag you will get for now unless you ask. Good evening!

FIRST TWO SONGS ANNOUNCEMENT
DRTV has just released the first two songs to compete in the selection.
HILDUR
Born in Dyflinnjaborg, Hildur is no stranger to Fantasia Contest. In fact, she competed in the 6th edition with her song "I'll walk with you" ending in 21st place, Dýria's 4th best placing in the contest (and second best at the time). She tried representing Ermy by entering their national selection, The Next Hoe but she failed to represent the nation. Having a desire to compete again, Hildur has decided to return to Dýria's national selection.
"NÆSTA SUMAR" (Next Summer)
GDRN
GDRN is the stage name of Guðrún Ýr Eyfjörð Jóhannesdóttir, a very unknown act in Dýria. Although being from Tráway (an Irsan region) she only speaks Dýrian and Engju, and thus her songs so far have only been in Dýrian. After uploading her song on a DRTV's submissions page, the broadcaster saw potential and invited her to compete. Take a listen to the song she will compete with:
"EIN" (Alone)

FINAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Firstly, the jury system has been scrapped.
To the 2 countries who applied, sorry about this. However I hope you will vote in the poll when it comes 
4 songs were left to be announced and we are about to announce them now.
YLJA
Ylja was formed in 2008 by singers/guitarists Gígja Skjaldardóttir and Bjartey Sveinsdóttir in Dyflinnjaborg, Dýria. The group has had considerable success in Dýria, managing to make it into the top 40. They will be performing:
"Í SPARISKÓM" (in fancy shoes)
RAGNHEIÐUR GRÖNDAL
Ragnheiður (or Ragga) is a Dýrian singer who, in 2006, was named Dýria's best singer.
She will be singing her song..
SVEFNLJÓÐ (lullaby; lit. "Night poem")
PÁLL ÓSKAR
Many in Dýria were shocked to see that one of their most famous singers, Páll Óskar, would be taking part in the selection. As he put it, "Nene may be Dýria's biggest diva, but I will take a shot at it." Páll is one of Dýria's most prominent singers, becoming one of the leading figures in the Dýrian LGBT community alongside becoming an icon, having struggled with his own sexuality in the past.
But enough storytelling (I could go on for ages lmao) and let's listen to his song..
EINN DANS (One Dance)
MAMMÚT
Formed in 2003 in Sjóborg, the group has become one of the most popular bands in the country, especially with their song that they will perform, reaching #5 in the Dýrian charts..
BLÓÐBERG (Breckland thyme - yes the plant)
All songs have been announced! The selection will be starting later this week so stay tuned Fantasia 
Also I'd like to thank agni so much for helping me with translating Dýrian () as my skills are only beginners' level and I didn't want huge mistakes
