Some future news!
So i am just gonna make the announcement now, so that everyone has as much time to prepare for it as possible! And no to anyone who wonders, this contest is not going anywhere
Basically the thing that i have been planning for a long time now, is for us to possibly have our first sub-contest for FoIM! These possibilities have included me considering a possibility of a junior or a retro contest, that would run alongside the main FoIM, without any specific schedule so there would be no pressure for the potential host to run it and they can just do it whenever they have the time for it. So yes, i am currently looking for people who might be interested in hosting such sub-contest for us! I already have two very potential candidates now, which i think should be enough to run one sub-contest, but if anyone else is willing, i can always consider more people! Just let me know All that would be required from the host itself would be making the recaps and keeping an eye on its confirmations and entries, while i can take care of wikias and everything else naturally!
To explain these two that i have been thinking i will start with the simpler one, which would be the junior concept. It would basically work the exact same way as main FoIM does now, just with child singers and maybe a different voting system This idea would still need to be thought and planned further
The other that i have been actually planning much more and thinking over this week, would be the retro sub-contest! This concept would be very different to what main FoIM or the concept for the junior one is and kind of includes combining two different contests in a way (BotU and Retro WWWSC). I have already asked for permissions to use ideas for this one from their respective hosts Basically everyone would take part as themselves instead of any countries, which would allow everyone to send their favorite songs, without being stuck to one specific country and also because i feel it works the best with this idea. The entries for this would all come from pre-2000s, with 2000 being the earliest allowed year (songs from 2001 and newer would not be allowed. Only 2000 or older ones) and this would not be moved so it would always stay the same. This contest would use a different points system for voting as well, which i will decide on a later date The main FoIM's 5 contest rule, which prevents overused songs from taking part mostly, would not be needed for this concept i would say, so it would not be included in it. Every other rules i set to stay pretty much the same tho, unless i find something that could be changed for its rules
These are both still up for planning, so if anyone has any potential improvements let me know!
Out of these ideas, i decided to pick the retro one. Mostly because it is a much more deeply thought plan so far and i feel it might work the best here alongside the main one We can always bring the junior one here too, if needed and if there is interest for it
This retro sub-contest concept would be tested in the opening FoIM edition of 2020, which is #35, in a special edition form! And if it gets enough support and interest, i don't see a reason not to finally introduce our first sub-contest! I feel it would be a high time for us to have one
So yeah, these are the big plans i have been thinking lately! Would love to hear what you guys would think of this
Either one does not have any names set for them so feel free to suggest them if you can come up with some good ones!
I will work on this plan a bit more during our holiday hiatus after #34 and the idea will be tested in #35, which will be a special edition as said!
Most likely i just forgot to say something else, so if something is unclear or there is any further questions, let me know!
So to make the pre-2000s even more clear just in case, you can only send entries that are from 2000, 1999, 1998... and so on. As old as you want, but no newer than 2000
