We puzzled it correctly all of a sudden, then! ;D

^ You had such a luck that I wrote  Denmark and  Sweden accidently in the wrong order. ;D Ηaha, I saw Emmelie represents  Sweden, not  Denmark. And now we're all satisfied!  |

Starting from the 18th edition:
- A jury made up of 6 members will be introduced along with some ISC awards. The different types of awards will be revealed at a later date. If you have any award suggestions then feel free to leave your suggestions here.
If you would like to be part of the jury then please leave me a message. I'll close submissions in a few days and a poll will be created to decide who will be the new jury members. Your application should include why you think you would be a good jury member and it'll be included within the poll.
- Non participant votes will now be added up separately and will now count as one vote. Therefore the votes from now on will be: All participant votes - Public votes - Jury votes. In total, there will be 20 votes in each semi final and 28 votes in the final.
- (Read the comment below before you read this section, it'll be more clear.) From the 18th edition onwards, I will be uploading a video which will be the "confirmation" section. Each edition, a video will be uploaded to state that submissions for the next edition are now open. Everyone must then confirm their participation (including a country and artist, you don't have to include the song title publicly (if you're creating a NS then replace the name of the artist with the NS)) within the comments section of that video.
What is the point of this?! Why can't I just confirm via PM?
So every edition, a get a lot of messages with people confirming countries which have already been taken. I then have to message everyone telling them that I cannot accept their entry as their chosen country has already been taken. For me, it's probably the most daunting part of running the contest and quite time consuming.
By doing this, everyone can see which countries/artists have already been taken (remember, all entries are accepted on a first come first serve basis).
But what's the point of removing the usernames for the recap?
Honestly; if some people want to waste their time checking to see which entries their friends have entered then that's their choice. However with the combined non participant votes rule, their votes for their friends wouldn't overly affect the final results.
Changes within the current edition (jessica, stahp):
- The reserve list will be dropped due to the fact that a number of people who have reserved a place for the future editions have not messaged me with their entries, whilst a number of people who were unable to reserve a place are more eager to participate. (There are a few places left so if anyone would like to participate then let me know). Sorry for the complications in this edition, I promise that everything won't be so complicated in the future.

Just a question though, what if we'll make an NS with different artists, how can we confirm with the name of the artist?  |

Then you could just say that you're creating a NS instead of including the name of the artist ^^

A jury member can still submit an entry, right? ^^

I would like to be a jury because of my unique taste in music (sorry if that sounds arrogant) I probably would get voted out straight away because people hate me now  |
