Confirmations are now closed!Could not do this earlierBy the looks of it, we will have another record breaking number of 41 countries taking part this edition, if everyone still left sends their entries in time!
Each edition the number seems to get better and better and i am so happy to see that
Also i am very very thankful to all of you as always for your continued interest in this contest and the support you give me and FoIM
i cannot thank all of you enough
So this edition we will have
Dominican Republic and
Slovenia debuting, so welcome to both of them!
Chile,
England,
Lithuania and
Venezuela will all be returning
However,
Austria is taking a break for an edition or two, while
Mongolia,
Norway,
Sweden and
Turkey are
withdrawing unfortunately. Out of these,
will be handed to
Argüello for the 30th edition, since they personally asked me to have it
Remember to send your entries in time those who are still left to do so!
You have time until
Monday 12.11.2018, 23:00 CET!
The official logo should be revealed within the next few days as well
Also note this - Just to let you all know my laptop has been very very slow this past week for some random reason i am trying to figure out, i would guess it is either so old or that it is starting to break down
so i am not entirely sure on how it will handle me downloading the music videos and editing the recaps, etc. so because of that, i have asked for some backup in case my laptop does not want to cooperate with me
i have asked
Argüello to possibly make the recaps for this edition and he has agreed to help me, in case i need it
so a huge thank you to him for that. I will be sure to get back to you if there is any further problems with this. Because of this, i am also thinking of buying a new one or possibly asking one for christmas, which could take time and also they could have different editors, so this could affect FoIM in a way, but should not be anything too major and mostly just the looks of the recaps if anything else, so no worries with it
i am trying to figure all this out the best i can
i will keep you updated what happens
And to let you all know as well, FoIM will take its usual "christmas hiatus" in December so 2019 will start with the 30th edition
because of that, this edition may also progress a little slower than others
But yeah, as i said i am trying to resolve all of this as best as i can and we will not be in trouble because of this and FoIM is not going anywhere, no need to worry about it either
just thoguht to let you all know what is happening currently
i always have backup plans
Stay tuned and keep sending entries!
