SWAPPING RULES

In case you want to swap, you have time until July 14th, 19:59:59 CEST to swap your country with other users.
Please do not post your songs in this thread, before the swapping period ends. This is to ensure there will be no chaos in this thread. You will have one week after the swapping period to send your songs.
However, you can, of course, already search for songs and ask me to check them for you privately.

Swapping Limitations

Furthermore, you can not receive a country by swapping, which you were not able to get in the random draw. This means you cannot get a country you had in the last five editions. Additionally, in case you had two countries from the same zone in the last two editions, you can not get a country of this zone again. You can see the two zones in this post: forum.songcontests.eu/post/938953/thread.
If you are a new user, you do not have to worry about this paragraph, you are not restricted by these rules.

Example:

These are the countries the user jstårsz has received in the last five editions. They cannot swap the country they got in the draw for any country listed in the picture above.
Furthermore, since they received, with

Nigeria and

South Africa, two countries from the Southern zone in the last two editions, they can not get any country from the Southern zone by swapping and can only swap their country for other countries from the Northern zone.

How does the swapping work?

Generally, you can talk to other users regarding swapping, wherever you want (in forum PMs, in discord or anywhere else). It is encouraged to post general swapping desires, which are not limited to one or two other nations, in this thread to reach as many participating users as possible.
Swapping is obviously only possible, if all involved users agree. Swaps can include more than two users. The number of swaps a user can do is not limited. However, for the swap to be valid, it has to be made sure that no user violates any swap limitations.

As everyone participating should be informed about the current state, swaps need to be posted in this thread. One of the two (or more) users involved in the swap needs to make a post in this thread, which includes the swapped countries as well as the swapping users. All involved users need to like this post. When I also like this post, this means that the validity of the swap has been checked and the countries are officially swapped now. You can then swap with your new country again, if you want to.

Summary

no swapping with countries you've had in the last five editions
if your last two countries were from the same zone, you can't swap with countries in that specific zone
you can discuss swapping with anyone through any medium (discord, forums PM, etc.)
you can post the countries you wish to swap with in a post
the swap is only valid if all parties (users) agree
you can swap with multiple users
must post swaps in the forum thread (including all users concerned and the countries involved); all users concerned with the swap must like the said post
swaps are official once the host (Kenajabam ) likes the post
