News & Announcements for Summer 2020
Hey so, we've got 5 things to announce, 3 of them concerning the contest, and 1 concerning its organization:
01. Swiss Draw cancelled.
Following the withdrawal of the previous Swiss player, and that he was supposed to not be allowed to participate in EoF #29,  Switzerland was therefore forced to withdraw. Under the current rules, Switzerland was therefore supposed to be going to a draw, but also, Switzerland is currently a country being borrowed from. By the small nation of  Liechtenstein. Country which has been taken recently by Chante™ .
Following the rules established, with the council, we've decided to cancel the Swiss draw, and give it to the current player of Liechtenstein, which fully requires the rules applied for taking part in a draw (3 Editions of participations, be active, and having a country claimed), will therefore be allowed to take Switzerland from EoF #30 & on. Of course, Chante™ possess the full rights to reject this and either keep Liechtenstein or claim another country. And therefore, a draw for Switzerland might happen.
02. Welcome back Australia!
Another good news for today, as with the council, we've taken the decision, for the 30th edition, to reallow a country which has taken part 2 times in a past into the contest as a permanent country:  Australia!
Australia will be allowed to return in the Europa Festival (yes, you see it well) from the 30th edition & on.
However, as they are currently player-less, we've decided that the new Australian HoD will be decided via a draw.
What does that mean, basically, a draw, will be held after the #29 Results have been published and before the #30 Confirmations will open, to pick the Australian player for EoF.
The conditions for taking part to the draws haven't been decided yet, as we believes Australia should be given to a trustworthy player, considering their music industry.
03. The National Language Edition is back.
30th editions marks the return of the special edition, started in the 10th, and continued in the 20th edition, these editions are the moment to showcase songs not in English for every countries in the world. The one special rule would be to send songs in a national/officlal language of the country, and for the first time, a song in a regional languages will be allowed.
The only countries that would therefore be allowed to sing in  English are: England,  Gibraltar and Australia.
04. We are hiring to bully you.
Following some events that are happening in our lives, thee EoF council currently tries its best to offer a great contest to enjoy and taking part in.
With the next announcement, but with our wishes to make JEoF & VEoF (two subcontests that were announced before the closure) a thing, we've decided to
simply hire one to two persons for joining the EoF council:
We are asking everyone who wishes to apply to send us a PM to the 3 council members (@luiri @domas @syr), with just replying to one question:
• Why do you think you would be a great add-up for the Europa Festival, and their future plans.
We mostly need people with:
• Support and good organization.
• Available to make results videos.
• Are active on both the forums and the SCF Discord Server.
We don't know when we're gonna close this application, so you have time to think for it.
And finally...
05. The first subcontest of the Europa Festival v3 is here.
This first subcontest is not going to be Junior or Vintage Europa Festival, it's going to be a contest mostly functionning on its own within the Europa Festival, I'm naming...
...
...
...
I don't know. With Queen of Mean (Inactive) as the main host, this subcontest will make you travel to the 50 States of the United States, to discover their music industry from the inside of every states and territories.
However, with Queen of Mean, we hadn't fixed a name yet, and therefore, the contest name will be chosen by you, the future participants (hopefully) between these two choices;
• The American Festival
• The States Festival
The thread for the contest name is expected to open within the next few days, if you've got any questions, me & Queen of Mean are here to reply to them on the EoF channel of the Discord server.
