 AN INTERNATIONAL COUNTRY TO JOIN EoF
Yes, you read it right, a country which is not located in Europe (for the one which doesn't remember, the rest of the world for an European is all the countries which are located outside of Europe, like on this map :
the countries allowed to compete in EoF are in blue, the non-allowed are in grey.
But what does it means for the contest itself ?
- The invited country will be directly qualified into the Grand Final, making 27 Countries on the final.
- It will never be the same country, every editions, a new country, a new musical industry, a new result too.
- Everybody can be that country... and when I said Everybody, it's, Everybody.
But how this country and the entry will be selected ?
Firstly, the name of the country will be announced on a newly created thread, and then everybody - as long as they have a country in EoF, will be allowed to send a song by PM to Luiri for this country.
One week has passed between, and the deadline for the entry is over, a recap will apparear, with all the eligible songs, and everybody will be allowed to vote on this sort-of NS/QF, the winner will represent the country on the Grand Final of the Europa Festival.
And how the country will work on the contest ?
This country will not see a specific player on it, the winning player will keep their original EoF country (eg let's imagine  Julian won the  South African final. Julian will keep Iceland on the contest, but he will have 2 songs on competition.
This country will be allowed to vote on both SF & Final. Let's take Julian as example again, and let's say Iceland is allocated onto the SF2. On SF1, if Julian votes, his votes will be combined with the others participants of the Country's QF/NS (let's again say  MG (SF1)  Luiri (SF2)  Apostolis (AQ Voting in SF2) and  ✨ Forrest ✨ (AQ Voting in SF1))
In the First Semi-Final. The votes of Julian , Luiri & Apostolis will be combined (if they vote) for making the South African points.
In the Second Semi-Final, the votes of MG & ✨ Forrest ✨ will be combined (if they vote) for making the South African points.
In the Grand Final, the votes of Julian , Luiri Apostolis MG & ✨ Forrest ✨ will combined for making the South African points. They still keep their own votes for their own country. Also on the Grand Final, the Rest of the World - players which are going to return/debut at the next EoF edition - votes will be combined for making the SA Results.
Hope it was clear enough, the country will be announced Next Sunday, during the #14 SF2 Results.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to post them, i'll try to give a clear answer

Georgia to host Europa Festival #17 !
After an interval vote between the 4 members of the council (aka +  ), it was choosed by a vote, each member counting for one vote, what country was going to host the Europa Festival #17.
Firstly between Germany, Georgia and Wales, the list was reduced to the countries which got 2nd & 3rd, aka . At the second round, Georgia was decided as the host by a 3-1 Vote (aka - voted for Wales). The decision of choosing Georgia was more because Wales would had more chance to host the contest on the (near) future, and thus, bringing the contest to the smaller countries, which have less chances.
Next of the post only concerns Jmain , aka Georgian Player/HoD : So, as your country was decided as host, you're invited on a PM to the whole council - the same than your entry approval if you want, to send us these requested thing :- Host City, and the preferred Arena for hosting itThere must be at least 8000 to 30k seats on the arena, but ~10k is most preferred than a bigger arena.- Host(s) of the show, can be from 1 to 3 popular personnality in GeorgiaPlease also say who will host who, like the SF Results, the Greenroom or the GF Results. Also, was announced and confirmed today the schedule for EoF #17 : |
