I promised you I'd do something special since the last edition concluded my first year here in NNMC, so here I am, keeping my word!
Firstly, I'll start with my journey in every edition and how it all started for me;
#17: That's how NNMC starts for me (and I was tragic af 
). NNMC was becoming extremely popular in the forums at that time, and I was also tempted by its format, so I decided to join (and I was also very lucky, because the country that I wanted, 
Greece had just become free! I organised a floppy National Selection, and didn't make it to the final. I thought Demy would make it, but I could still get a chance next edition.
#18: Another floppy format of the NS. Demy finished in the bottom 3 of the semi last edition, now we're sending the second runner-up of that edition. Maybe it will sound ironic, but considering how Demy dominated the first NS, in which OtherView were in, and flopped hard in her edition, I didn't expect that OtherView would even qualify, yet they finished in the Top 3 of the final
. I clearly remember how my heart rate was increasing position per position and how I was ready to suffer a stroke when I reached the Top 7! Memories 
.
#19: Eh, last in the final. I didn't expect much, but not last either. Well, not so disheartened since I got a great result the previous edition.
#20: Helena Paparizou gives me my second NQ in NNMC. Funny how I NQed twice with the two former ESC participants I had sent
. Well, that was a let-down. You won't believe how much potential was lost with the November songs (and I'm not only talking about 
"Vasilissa"). That was another let down actually, but I had two entire months ahead of me to organise my researching method and chase a better result in 2018.
#21: There we go, my two months of effort and all my odds go to the 9-song NS. And again a NQ. Not only that, but another bottom 3 in the semi. No comment here.
#22: I worked as hard as I could here as well, a two week long NS, yet another NQ, this time just for 2 points tho. That wasn't the happiest moment either.
#23: Ngl; I considered giving up at that point. But I just confirmed, had potential entries already, packed them in a NS and ready to go. I found "Gold" after the first round of the selection, so I added it in the final directly. It's the song that wins the NS. 8/9 qualifiers have been announced, Greece isn't in yet and there are countries I thought would Q instead of me out as well. And it gives me my first qualification after 5 months
! When you've thought everything is over, yet you're still alive! The final result wasn't very succesful, but qualifying (+ not being last) was already enough for me and I didn't care. My moral was high again so I could work even harder for an even better result in #24.
#24: And so I did, I organised (imo the least floppy of all GNMFs) a big enough NS. Announced the first qualifier in the semi, all the pressure goes to the final. There we go! Actually, I wasn't watching the finalresults alone. Again the same story as #18, and I fucken started shouting and jumping and running around when I got into the Top 2, which was my best result (and still is). That was probably my best chance to win, yet it's not my time yet. Ok, I was still extremely happy by my result. (I had to head for an exam some minutes after I watched the results, and I was ready to faint until after hours than that. Ha, my classmates were fine before the exam, but I wasn't, but they were the ones ready to faint after it )
#25: I considered an internal selection here, but I wasn't 100% sure on the song and I didn't want to break the streak. Again another NS, and a decent result.
#26: I thought the format of that NS would be interesting but apparently it was a flop. I sent a very unknown artist with a song with less than 60 views (and I'm sure most were from NNMC people 
), yet the result wasn't the best. I was disappointed for the NQ, tho happy that I was close to the Top 9, yet not so close in the points (my poor heart wouldn't take it if I was like 2 points away again 
)
So that concludes my journey in these editions!

That's not all I have for you tho!
Since this was also the 10th edition of GNMF, I'd like to organise a special edition and ask you which of my entries were the best, as well as make a quick recap of them!
Below, you can take a look at the ones I've sent:
And here is the link to vote!
Please rank the songs in ESC style according to your opinion, and put your username and your country of residence.
All votes are appreciated!
And, we're not done here either! I've also prepared a bonus video, which shows all the songs that have received the Greek set of
in the finals of NNMC through the editions #17 to #26!NOTE: I thought the rainbow 12 was a nice idea, but it does get tiring. If you have epilepsy, get dizzy or just very annoyed by the fast change of colors in the templates, you may want to watch this video instead! (It's the same video, but with 12blue instead of 12rainbow in the overlays).
And that's all I have for you now! Feel free to comment your opinions on the content above!
Also, thank you very much to the NNMC council for giving us such a wonderful contest, and who stood the annoying me up! Keep the great work and I hope that my following editions here will be as full of
Again sorry for making this here, but I don't want it to get lost in the General Discussion thread, I'd rather having it accessible as a thread here.
Btw, make sure you check the Greek website! (Still misses content, though a lot more updated than some time ago!
Hope you enjoyed, bye for now!
