  RULES CHANGES
After reviewing the rules in both AVSC and BMF, some of them will be changed and new rules will be added.
The announcement will be divided into 3 parts.
1. CONNECTION RULE CLARIFICATION
As of now, the connection rule has only stated that artists with "strong connection" are allowed. As the phrase "strong connection" is to wage and makes the users confuse what is considered strong enough and what is not.
To make the rule clear, here are the criteria that are considered "strong connection".
- At least one parent of the artist is from the country (or immigrated from there).
- The artist has citizenship of that country.
- The artist is currently living in the country as a citizen of that country.
(For example: if your artist is living there because of education, you can't send them)
I hope you understand me lol
However, you can't send artists born in your country but have no other connection to the country.
(For example, Baby K can't represent Singapore)
The connection rule for groups remains the same.
2. EXTENSION
Users can ask for an extension (and replacement vote) to reveal their entry and submit their vote. However, you can't randomly ask for it.
In order to ask for an extension, you have to tell the reason why you need them.
(For example, You are preparing for exams, away from your home, etc.)
Also, you can't ask for an extension whenever you want.
- If you want an extension for revealing your song, you must ask for it at least 1 hour before the deadline.
(You can send your song privately via discord to me in case you can't access the forum before the deadline)
- If you want an extension for submitting your vote, you must ask for it at least 5 hours before the deadline.
The length of extensions will be considered by the situation but the ideal is about 5 hours at most (for voting).
This rule will be used starting from now (including the current edition of AVSC).
3. MISCELLANEOUS RULES CHANGE
1. Your entry must not be sent in more than 3 forum contests. (National selections are not counted)
- If your song was sent in a contest but it was closed or become inactive before the edition end, it won't be counted.
(The original rule was 4 contests)
2. The deadline for sending replacement videos will be the same as entry deadline (you can still provide them after that but I won't use it if I start working on the recap), however, you won't receive any warning if you don't provide it.
You can also provide a video you want to use as a replacement video and let me edit it myself.
That's it for the announcement! If you have any question you can ask me on forum pm, discord or discussion thread.
Sorry for grammatical error.
The confirmation for BMF 4 will open soon.
Stay tuned!

RULES CHANGES
1. ENTRIES ELIGIBILITY
Songs that have at least one of these will not be eligible anymore.
- Song that finished in the top 6 of North Vision Song Contest.
- Song that finished in the top 10 of North Vision Song Contest within the past year.
- Song that finished in the top 3 of Fantasia Contest, NowNewMusic Contest, and Own Eurovision Song Contest (+ its spin-offs).
- Song that finished in the top 5 of Fantasia Contest, NowNewMusic Contest,
and Own Eurovision Song Contest (+ its spin-offs) within the past year.
2. SEMI-FINAL(S)
In the latest edition of AVSC and BMF there are 26 and 25 participating countries respectively which leads to a question "What will happen if there are more than 26 countries? Will semi-final finally take place?" So here are how things will work:
- Less than 27 countries: 1 grand final.
- 27-30 countries: 1 semi-final and 1 grand final with 20 countries (10 AQs).
- 31-35 countries: 1 semi-final and 1 grand final with 24 countries (10 AQs).
- At least 36 countries: 2 semi-finals and 1 grand final with 26 countries (6 AQs).
Yeah ik we are not getting there soon but who knows
These rules will be used starting from the next edition.
If you have any questions you can ask me on forum pm, discord or discussion thread.
Also, I might open a council for the contest. If anyone can help me in making results or design feel free to tell me in PM
(preferably someone with a discord account). :somepoints: |

THE BILLBOARD SAYS THE END IS NEAR
After hosting AVSC for almost 3 years, I'm sad to announce that the fate of this contest is coming to the end. To be exact, the 20th edition will be the last edition of this contest. This decision was made because of several factors. The main one is time constraints. It's hard for me to stay focused on hosting 2 contests at the same, especially when there's no "official" council (although I do get some help in BMF). So, I made the decision to close one so that I can focus on another, and ultimately AVSC is the one that has to go. I have been thinking about this for quite some time, and I think I should let everyone knows in advance so that at least you can at least make a plan for your last 2 entries. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has become a part of the contest. Huge shout out to Fat Nepal and EtCetera who have always been with us since the first edition, and also hayashi ๐บ๐ฆ๐ต๐ธ who was the first-ever person, excluding me of course, to confirm in AVSC. There might or might not be a special show/edition after the 20th edition. In case that happens, our last winner will be the host country.
That being said, the confirmation of the 19th edition will most likely open on the upcoming weekend.
Thank you very much for making this contest possible!
