Hello everyone and welcome to the thread for the Survival Song Contest #04, which following on from Celina Sharma's win in Pasay City, Manila will be taking place somewhere in India. Once again, be mindful, that the artists you select have a chance of dying and thus cannot be selected again.
Updates from last edition: Due to a couple of debates last season on the originality of songs, a couple of rules have been made to promote orginality. Firstly, songs with over 20 million views on YouTube will no longer be permitted to be performed. Secondly, songs that have performed in more than 5 contests will not be allowed to perform. Obviously, I haven't participated in every contest ever, so I will be using the search function as the main way of upholding this rule. This method isn't perfect so if you believe that the rule has been violated be let me know.
1. Countries will be reserved on a First Come, First Serve basis
2. All UN Member nations, plus Palestine, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Puerto Rico and Kosovo are eligible and due to ease they will all just be referred to as countries.
3. When a group is entered into the contest at least one third of the group must satisfy the above criteria to be allowed to compete
4. When a collaboration is entered, or song with multiple artist the Rule 2 doesn’t apply and one of the artists must be within the above frameworks (eg if Lordi and Salvador Sobral collaborated on a song then it would be eligible for both Portugal and Finland).
5. The voting will be done in a Eurovision style 12, 10, 8-1 points. Normal rules such as no public sharing of your voting so people aren’t influenced.
6. All entries will be given a 25 second timeslot in the editions recaps which would preferable be specified by the player in their post (if not I'll pick a random chorus)
7. All entries must be posted before the deadline given.
8. Attempt to make entries into the contest as original as possible. To ensure this the following rules will apply
- Songs selected may not have over 20,000,000 views on the official YouTube video.
- Additionally, songs cannot have competed in more than five contests in order to be eligible to compete.
- Songs selected may not have over 20,000,000 views on the official YouTube video.
- Additionally, songs cannot have competed in more than five contests in order to be eligible to compete.
9. Song Contest Members will select contestant to represent their chosen nation that must adhere to the following rules.
- The Artist was born in the country
- The Artist lived in the country within their childhood for a substantial amount of time
- The Artist currently live in the country
- They have at least one (step) parent with significant connect to the county.
- Any other connection that is deemed strong enough.
- All chosen artists must be alive.
10. If an artist fails to win, they cannot participate in the contest again.
- This rules applies to all members of a group, featuring artists and both artists when collaborating
11. National Selections are permitted and it is up to the Head of Delegations to provide the format. Unlike with the main contest, all participants may be re-entered into another National Selection or internal chosen by the HoD. However, the artist may not use the same song as they had previously.
