Rules –
1. Once you're assigned a country, it's yours until you swap or get banned
2. You can select a song from any year
3. Covers are allowed as long as they haven't already competed
4. In order to compete for a country, an artist must have…
a. been born or raised there
b. at least one parent from there (grandparents are not enough)
c. lived there for at least 3 years (if they are currently between two countries, they are considered eligible)
If your artist doesn't fall under category A, and they have a stronger connection to another participating country, the HoD reserves the right to veto the entry
For groups at least 50% of members (or at least the lead singers) must have a connection to the country
4.1. Borrowing -
- A song can compete for a country if at least one of the composers and lyricists are from that country.
- Andorra can borrow from Catalonia
- Brunei can borrow from Malaysia
- Liechtenstein can borrow from Switzerland
- Monaco can borrow from France
- San Marino can borrow from Italy
Countries can borrow from neighbouring regions of the same ethnic group
(e.g. Armenia from Artsakh, Austria from South Tyrol, etc. This does not apply to countries with multiple official languages (e.g. Italy can't send Italian speakers from Switzerland unless they also have a connection to Italy))
5. National selections are allowed. You may re-use songs in future selections. It is recommended that you time-stamp the videos to the recap spot.
6. A song cannot take part if it has competed in…
- (Junior) Eurovision
- (Junior) Northvision (unless it was an NQ from before 2019/edition 28)
- Any forum contest in the last 6 months (based on confirmation date) (this is to prevent songs that aren’t overused at the time, but become overused by the results) (exceptions will be made for songs confirmed up to 3 days earlier - unless it's for Northvision or Fantasia)
- 3 or more forum contests
7. You can sing in whatever language you like.
8. Each player must give and - to their top 10 (the voting system pre 2016)
9. Penalties -
One strike -
Not sending an entry on time
Not voting without reason. Replacers will vote on their behalf (if replacers cannot be found, the votes of two other players will be combined together).
Permanent ban
Getting three strikes
Cheating
Telling me to stop tagging you
10. If there is a tie, there will be a countback. The song with the votes from the countries has the advantage, then the most 12's, most 10's, etc.
