SESC: Main Discussion

[Deleted]

Hello everybody!

The past few days I've been thinking about setting up my own contest, with Eurovision songs only, but with every contest being different from the other ones (every edition is a special edition).

For example, in one contest:
- only winning songs can take part
- songs that qualified for the grand final are not allowed
- people vote for the song they like least
- a person who is neither participating nor voting decides with which song each country will participate
- every country can send in two songs
- ... [insert ideas from other people here]

PS: I have no idea at all about setting up a contest, can anyone help me with that, too?

Haha, I didn't even know that contest already existed.
Thanks for telling me!

Yes 

I think that only one song per country is enough in one edition!

Yeah, that could be true.

Would you like to help me develop it?

I like it, but only if songs can only participate for their own country.
In some editions, more songs per country can be good.

Or maybe, we have to think outside the country-style contest.

I agree with your opinion that songs should only be able to participate for their own country.
I mean, it's weird and illogical when for example Cyprus wins a contest with mediumaustriadiamond Conchita Wurst's "Rise Like A Phoenix"...

But how do you imagine a non-country-styled contest?

I actually really like the idea but I'm wondering if I would take part... Since December 2013 I'm not joining new contests anymore because it was too hard to vote everywhere on time and actually still it is, now even if I'm half a year further.
