Fantasia ContestOfficial Announcements Change to Approval Rules After several complaints about the approvals in the last editions, the Reference Group has decided to be stricter with them in the future. Our goal is to be more consistent and fair. We know this wasn't always the case in the past and we recognize our mistakes. Therefore, we set some new internal guidelines and we ask you to accept our decisions. This does also mean that we won't accept the "Why was Song XYZ accepted in the past, but this isn't?" argument anymore. You of course have the right to challenge our decisions but please do it in a nice and appropriate way. We also know that not everybody will always agree with our decisions but that will never be the case anyway. Please keep also in mind, that every Head of Delegation bears the main responsibility for their entries. New Reference Group Member Following Callum's depature from the Reference Group, the remaining members decided to add a new permanent member. He was chosen based on the last applications and someone who was always considered in the past. He has shown great interest in the contest since the very beginning and has always been passionate about it. Please welcome to the FBA Reference Group!

Fantasia ContestOfficial Announcements Internal Changes Within the FBA Reference Group The FBA Reference Group underwent two internal changes. We're glad to announce that Dylan joined the Reference Group. Dylan was added for his great passion for Fantasia and his organisational talent. He has always helped us with important stuff in the background and proved his passion since the very first edition. Unfortunately, we also have to announce sad news. Aless will be leaving the Reference Group after the 22nd edition, mainly for personal reasons. Aless joined the council back in the 9th edition and has always helped to improve the contest. He will defintely be missed. We wish him all the best! First Monthly FBARG Meeting On September 18 2020 the first ever Monthly Meeting between the permanent members of the FBA Reference Group was held. It was introduced to improve the decision-making process within the group. The following decisions were taken: Twenty-Third Edition to Be Held Later Than UsualIn order to avoid stress and time pressure during the start of October, which for some is the start of university, the edition was scheduled later than usual. Hence the confirmation period didn't start after the grand final deadline of the twenty-second edition but will start on Friday, September 25. All entry deadlines are scheduled for November. This will most likely be the last edition of the year and end before Christmas. G18-Evaluation Process RevisedFollowing discussions between the G18 members, contest-applicants and players the influence of roleplay in the G18-Evaluation process was adjusted and will be higher from the twenty-third edition onwards. In the past roleplay and the amount of attempts an applicant tried to get in the contest weighed 1/10 of the total evaluation score. It was now increased to 1/5 and includes more criteria such as the quality and frequency of roleplay and the participation in Fantasia events. Relaxation of the Claiming RulesTo avoid unnecessary claims of artists which are wanted by other players, the approval team is now authorized to inform players about who claimed their artist(s) so that they can ask whether they still want to use the artist(s) or not. Information about the approval status has to be given to the approval team. Example: Joe wants to claim Rihanna who is claimed by John. The approval team therefore gives the following information to Joe: "We can't approve Rihanna yet since it's taken by John. You would need their approval. Please inform us whether approval was given or not." Joe can now decide whether he asks John or not. John doesn't want to use Rihanna anymore and is giving her to Joe. Joe informs the approval team and can now use her.This rule change will be tested for one edition and might be extended, removed or adjusted after that.

Official Announcement Language rule: the FBA wants your feedback
The Reference Group is currently working on the rules book which is expected to be published before the 24th edition. After some controversy in the current edition, we want to make clear rules regarding the use of languages. This requires the approval of all participants as the original idea of the contest was to let everyone have more freedom in what they send.You can fill the survey by following the link below:» LINK «In this survey you will be asked about two questions about the rule, a small explanation has been provided, and you will be also available to give your feedback about these two rules, additionally to that, you can give some general feedback about the contest too.

Third Monthly FBARG Meeting On January 3 2021 the third Monthly Meeting between the members of the FBA Reference Group was held. The following issues were discussed and decisions taken:Language Rules
Following the survey about the planned introduction of a language rule in FC, the FBARG has decided the following.
Based on the opinions and what we have discussed earlier, both rules will be imposed.
The first rule however won't be as strict as in the draft, which means that more languages than Everish will be international. International languages can be used without any restriction. We decided to look on the world map to find out which languages are the most spread out in Fantasia. These languages are Lakadamian (French), Scandavian (German) and Latinican (Spanish). Additionally, there will be a limit for sending songs in an „unrealistic language“. Realistic languages are official, national and regional languages within a country based on the UNF census AND the international ones listed above. The limits are:
- For internal selections there has to be a gap of at least two editions between two entries in an „unrealistic“ language.
- For national selections, you can use max. one song in an "unrealistic" language per five songs in the selection. None can be used if a song in an "unrealistic" language was sent in the past editions based on the rule for internal selections.
The second rule will be imposed as stated in the survey. That means in case you make use of the first rule, you must have an explanation, no matter if used in internal or national selections. However, the explanations have to be better than just „the artist has roots in...“, etc.
Why are these rules needed?
In our personal opinion this rule is actually not absolutely necessary. Here are some quotes from responses we got in the survey.
We pretty much agree with these and as stated previously, the rules are introduced to clarify this issue generally, for us to be more consistent with the approvals and ultimatively to avoid conflicts. Based on the past few editions barely any entry would've been disapproved.Rules Book
After months of discussing all rules in the Fantasia Contest, we now finally have a complete rules book which will be released in a separate thread shortly. All rules, explanations and warnings can be found there.Lower Maximum Amount of Countries in the Fantasia Contest
To increase the qualification chance (preferably close to 50%) in the semi-finals, the FBARG decided to lower the amount of spots in the Fantasia Contest. Instead of 55 spots, there will be, from now on, only 53 spots. Therefore up to max. 16 instead of 17 countries can participate in one semi-final. In case this shows no effect, we will eventually lower it to 50 in the future. That means the next two permanent withdrawals won't be replaced, but, of course, no one will be forced to withdraw. With this change a spot in the Fantasia Contest becomes more precious. Therefore another rule regarding the length of a withdrawal was introduced. From now on, a country can only withdraw for max. two editions in a row. After that a country would have to withdraw permanently. Exceptions can be made if there's a valid reason. Internal Changes within the FBA Reference Group
With the end of the 23rd edition, Syr will unfortunately leave the Reference Group due to personal reasons. Therefore the remaining members decided to open another round of applications for Syr's spot.
You can now apply here.
Deadline: 31st January 2021
Syr has joined the Reference Group in September 2019 and has been a very helpful and impactful member since then. We'd like to thank him for all the time and effort he has put into the contest and wish him all the best for the future.

Fourth Monthly FBARG Meeting On January 31st 2021 the fourth Monthly Meeting between the members of the FBA Reference Group was held. The following issues were discussed and decisions taken:Internal changes within the FBA reference group Following Syr 's departure from the FBA reference group earlier this month, the FBARG officially held an applications process to choose a replacement. Again, we thank Syr so much for their contributions since September 2019.
However, a new member had to be chosen at the fourth meeting between the members of the FBARG. We thank everyone who submitted an application to join the FBARG. At the meeting this evening, a decision was made to add a second member due to their excellent application.
With that being said, please welcome... andto the FBA reference group. Both applicants were praised for their excellent applications and we as a collective felt that both would be great additions to the FBA reference group. Congratulations to both of you! Both members will join effective immediately.
Commiserations to the other applicants, however this was not an easy decision to make and we appreciate the time and effort that you put into your applications.Spin-offs One point that was made in a previous meeting was the idea of spin-offs. We are pleased to announce that the FBA reference group is now taking your suggestions for potential spin-off contests that will be held independently from the main contest. We are also looking for volunteers if necessary. If you have any suggestions, please let us know in either PM, general discussion or on the #fc channel on the SCF Discord server.

Monthly FBARG Meeting October 2021 On October 16th 2021 a Monthly Meeting between the members of the FBA Reference Group was held. The following issues were discussed and decisions taken:Approvals The FBARG's current aim is to make the contest easier to host. Thus some decisions regarding the organization of the contest were taken. The first major change is the way approvals are done. Instead of Forum PMs, you must now use a form to submit your song(s) for approval. You can then check a public spreadsheet for your current approval status (Approved/Partly Approved/Declined). Whenever your song(s) are only partly approved or declined, you'll receive a message from the current approval team but you won't receive one when your songs are fully approved. Confirmations for the 26th edition will open very soon.
Theme Art, Voting Similarities, Recaps and Results More important decisions were taken regarding the theme art, voting similarities, recaps and results. We realized that the creation of those takes us too much time and thus postpones the schedule massively. That's why our focus in future editions will be on sticking to the schedule. That's why especially designs might be more simple than in the past. We also decided to use pre-made templates for the results presentation. Voting similarities won't be used for the pot allocation anymore. That saves a lot of time. The Reference Group is currently working on a new, simple way to allocate all participating countries to their pot. We hope these changes will improve the smoothness of the contest.Co-Chair of the Reference Group I expressed my wish to have a Co-Chair in the Reference Group, who can take over organizational tasks whenever I can't. All members agreed on having an election for that every edition. The role is limited to two consecutive terms. The main responsibility for other events, such as FANA and the Fantastics were given to TBA and Queen of Mean (Inactive) respectively.New FBARG Member(s) After Eke's departure, the FBARG has decided to search for a new member or new members. You can now express interest to us, by messaging me (kev) either through a forum PM or through Discord (KevinDE#6023). We are looking for someone who ideally has a lot of free time on their hands and basic knowledge in any video editing software. We offer you a place to unfold yourself, to develop your skills and to learn new things with our help.
At this point, we would also like to thank Eke for their hard work in the past 25 editions. Marika is the founder of the contest and has stayed in the FBARG for over 6 years, actively engaging within the contest and within the FBARG. All their hard work over the past 25 editions and 6 years as a member of the FBARG will never be forgotten, and we as a whole are very grateful for them being here as one of our members. Without you, the contest wouldn't be what it is now, and without your hard work over the past few years, who knows if the contest would still be running today. Marika and Evergreen will of course continue to participate in the contest, and we hope that they will continue for many editions to come.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask us! The 26th edition will start very soon! Stay tuned.
