Globalvision already has a reputation for being rather strict.
So I decided to create some rules that should go down well in my contest
Voting:
Voting is just like any other contest.
If a participant fails to vote on time with no good reason (such as forgetfulness and holidays), they will lose 20 points of their score.
If a participant fails to vote on time with a good reason (such as loss of internet connection or personal issues), they will only lose 5 points of their score.
Semi-finals
There can only be a maximum of 21 countries in the final. If the number of participants exceeds 21, semi-finals will be held.
If there are 11 or 12 countries in each semi-final, there will be 14 finalists.
If there are 13 or 14 countries in each semi-final, there will be 16 finalists.
If there are 15+ countries in each semi-final, there will be 20 finalists.
There can not be more than 40 users participating in my contest. (Though I doubt that will ever happen
)
There will never be an automatic qualifier.
Artists
An artist is only allowed to represent the country s/he is living in.
Overused artists and songs
I want the songs in my contest to be original. But instead of using tight rules for this preference, I will let you decide whether an artist or song is overused or not with a poll, if needed.

American and 
British artists are not allowed to represent 
Ireland, even if they have ancestors from there.

Italy?
Malta as they have a very distant connection.
Greece as Marina's father is Greek and she's lived there for a couple of years.
