About this

Whats this contest?
This is an Internet song contest. It is like the Eurovision Song Contest, however on the web, where people could send 2 songs from two different countries to participate. People also vote on each others countries, just like the real contest.

Is it fictional or real?
The bidding places aren't real. There is no current gig on that stage. Also most broadcasting is fake, however its possible we could have radio broadcasting soon. If possible we would set (REAL) behind it.

Sending songs

 * You could send 1 or 2 songs; 2 or 3 songs if you are the winner of the previous edition, one song representing the previous edition's winning country. (Ex.: If Belgium won the First Edition, the contestant must provide 2 or 3 songs, one of which is Belgium's representative.)
 * The songs need to be from different regions.
 * There is no age limit. The artist could be as old or young as you want.
 * There is no age limit of songs. The song could be from the 1950s or the current year.
 * The songs from other competitions are allowed, such as: ABU TV Festival, ABU Radio Festival, Türkvizyon, Euro Pop Contest and Volcavision.
 * No Eurovision, Junior Eurovision and ABU TV Cup Contest songs are allowed. However they are only allowed as interval act. The only exeption is when somebody represent theirself.
 * Songs from national selections are allowed.
 * Songs from other competitions, such as: ABU TV Festival, ABU Radio Festival, Volcavision, Euro Pop Contest, Türkvizyon. As long you have the YouTube link for that one song you want to participate with.

 * The winning song need to represent the country automatically next edition.
 * Songs that are sung from the users themself get 12 points. This is due that the songs that are sended and sung by the users themself have spend much more time and effort than people who search for their songs.
 * American and Sub-Saharan countries and regions not from the list are allowed however there is a max of 4 non-listed American and Sub-Saharan countries. So it still have an Euro-Asian atmosphere.

If you have The Netherlands and Sápmi, just an example, The Netherlands couldn't give The Netherlands points but The Netherlands could give Sápmi points with a maximum of 5 points. 6 points or more would not be allowed.
 * You cannot vote on a country if its in another semi. So the first semi finalists cannot vote on the second finalists. The second finalists cannot vote on the first finalists.
