ELITE MUSIC FESTIVAL
Welcome to Elite Music Festival! This is a contest that is made with the aim to be simple, but with original entries. Everything about the contest will be explained below.
What is the concept of EMF?
As said before, the concept of EMF is to be simple and original. Every edition, there will only be 12 participating countries (which can either be chosen by the player or randomly generated by le moi). This means there is just a grand final, with few countries, so each edition will be quite fast.
Country Rules
Every edition, you can either choose your own country to participate as, or ask for me to randomly generate a country for you. However, this could mean that you get a country like Djibouti (which is what I randomly generated first as a test). But if you want a challenge or enjoy random contests this option could be for you. Each country will be reserved for the player going into the next edition, but you can change your country every edition if you like.
Any country in the UN can take part, as well as Faroe Islands, Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan and Vatican City. Some countries can borrow from larger countries due to a smaller music scene. These countries are:
Andorra, who can borrow from Spain.
Liechtenstein, who can borrow from Austria, Germany or Switzerland.
Monaco, who can borrow from France.
San Marino, who can borrow from Italy.
Vatican City, who can borrow from Italy.
However, borrowing is 100% optional, and borrowed entries must be sent to me for approval. I may add more borrowing countries if people think they are necessary.
Entry Rules
The performer of your entry must either currently live in, have been born in, have spent the majority of their life in, or have at least one parent from the country they are representing. There are no age boundaries for your artist, but they must be human and alive.
Your entry must have been released after 2005, and must not have participated in any (J)ESC editions or national selections. Holding your own national selection will be allowed if/when there is a board. While you don't have to send entries for approval, overused songs will not be accepted. My decision on an entry being overused is final.
Covers are only allowed if the original abides by the other rules (ie. the original is not overused, was released after 2005 and is not a (J)ESC (NS) song.)
I think that's everything I need to reveal about the contest, so...
