CONFIRMATIONS OPEN
WELCOME TO THE SECOND EDITION OF THE CITIVISION SONG FESTIVAL
LIVE FROM LONDON
we're back !! after gracey's win in
new york city we meet again, this time in 
london !!! we have been working on many changes for the second edition. the first order of business is that we have two new members of the board of the international council of cities and music. please welcome carlos and chante to the board !! they have been helping me make some much-needed improvements to the contest. i have created a document that outlines the list of official rules for the contest. i will update it as editions open and close. i reccomend that all of you read through the document before confirming. if you have participated, here are the changes you must observe the closest:
the strike system has been amended to that three strikes warrants a one-contest ban, four strikes warrants a three-contest ban, and five strikes warrants a permanent ban. the automatic qualification system has also been changed. now, the best-performing six cities from two different groups will automatically qualify for the following edition with semi-finals. the first group is made up of the cities initially chosen to have AQ privileges. the second group is made up of the ten best cities overall, across all editions, that aren't a part of the first group. each edition, the three highest placing cities from the first group, and the three highest placing cities from the second group will be selected to AQ the next edition, alongside the host if it has not already been chosen. if we get enough participants this edition to break into semi-finals, the "big 6" will be london, miami, 
seoul, 
vancouver, 
valletta, and 
hamburg. i have also made the criteria for eligibility clearer. bands, groups, or collaborations will need more than 50% of its members to have close connections to the city they plan to represent. please know that you may need to provide evidence to back an artist's eligibility for a certain city. the last urgent thing that i amended is that you will only be able to switch cities twice every five editions. i don't want too much city-hopping, since the goal is for cities with music scenes that may be underappreciated to continue competing.

in this contest, cities compete instead of countries !! cities eligible to compete must be a part of the international council of cities and music, our version of the ebu. these cities must either be in this list, or be the capital and/or largest city in their country, disputed region, or dependency. microstates (i.e. 
san marino) are ineligible, but city-states (i.e. 
singapore) are eligible. the competing artist must either be born in or have strong connections to your city, and the competing song can be no older than ten years prior to the entry reveal deadline. you will need to provide two sets of votes each show and semi-finals will be held depending on how many cities confirm.

OFFICIAL RULEBOOK HERE
this edition's theme is become royalty !!! i'm very excited about the logo and all of the edition-related materials. here is some more insight into how the logos were made and how they will be formatted on official event posts and videos:
this edition's logo has two elements: the crown and the river. the white figure in the foreground is inspired by the queen of the commonwealth's crown, and the multicolored figures in the background are representative of the river thames and its many bridges and other crossings.
