An era comes to an end

After 32 editions of being the Faroese Head of Delegation it is finally time for me to say goodbye and make room for a new face with new creative ideas for the Faroe Islands in the North Vision Song Contest.

I would like to personally thank everyone involved in this contest that made up a huge chunk of my life… 10 YEARS in fact. Being there from the beginning, saving this contest from almost dying several times and going through all results but WINNING… really, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

GEORGIA WILL NOT PARTICIPATE

Despite IRU's qualification last edition in Greece with her entry, "Idea", the Georgian delegation has decided to take a step back for the 41st Edition of the contest. It means that Georgia will not be present in the 41st Edition of the contest to be held in Austria. The delegation has stated budget cuts due to poor results in the past editions being the main reason why the country will not participate. Also, the lack of creative team and resignation of some members of the song selection committee led to the withdrawal of the country in the edition.

The Head of Delegation is assuring the NorthVision fans that all these issues will be fixed ahead of the next edition. Therefore, a return to the contest in Edition 42 is very certain.

SPOILER: Click to show

The reason why I am withdrawing for the edition is because I really want to utilize my summer very well. I only have a few days break before I get back to studying again and I don't want to use that time to search for songs for Georgia because I've been having a very rough time in my university lately. I just need a break, that's all. I'm still giving my support towards national selections and I might vote in some of them if given a chance.

Azerbaijan confirms their
participation in #41!
Published on 21 May 2023 • Baku, Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan Television (AzTV) has confirmed that  Azerbaijan will be taking part in the North Vision Song Contest 41 in Austria. Rilaya sadly failed to qualify from the semi-finals last edition, but since the country received enough points to prevent obligatory participation in the next Pre-Qualification Round, the broadcaster's managing board is satisfied enough to give the green light for another Azerbaijani presence at the world's biggest music contest.

Earlier today, the Georgian broadcaster made the unfortunate announcement that they would be withdrawing from the upcoming contest. Consequently, Kura Fest which was used to select Azerbaijan and Georgia's entries last edition will be put on hold, as confirmed by the Azerbaijani Head of Delegation in a statement to local fansite 12xal. The HoD also confirmed that they would be reverting to an internal selection in an effort to take a step towards greater quality in its next entry. A number of songwriters popular on the local music scene were directly invited to submit their proposals, with the team having already shortlisted several of them as possible candidates.

Following a satisfying result from Emel and his song "Gdje Je", Montenegro will proudly perform in the semi-finals of the next contest, set to take place in Austria.

TÜRKIYE CONFIRMS FOR NVSC#41!

Türkiye will take part in the next North Vision Song Contest for the 39th time. As the country didn't end up in the Grand Final's Top 6 last edition, it will have to pass through the semi-finals.
The method of selection has still to be officially announced but it's likely that both the artist and song will be selected behind closed doors by the broadcaster possibly suspending the usual national selection KuzeyMelodi.

See you in Austria!

¡ESCÁNDALO EN ESPAÑA!
Scandal in Spain!

Madrid, 5 June 2023

    In a recently revealed article by the Spanish press, former Head of Delegation Alfred Sánchez was arrested by authorities due to countless rumors of money laundering through the organization of the North Vision Song Contest.

    The head of delegation has refused to comment on the situation, but this leaves no chance for the current head of delegation but to resign from the contest. Therefore, effective immediately, the position is vacant.

   This comes as a shock to Spanish North Vision supporters, as the country has had its "golden era" in the past few editions, with 3 Top 10 finishes, and a 100% qualification rate until the last edition where Judeline fell short of the grand final by just 10 points.

    

   An internal process to determine the next Head of Delegation is already undergoing. More information will be revealed regarding the future of Spain in the North Vision Song Contest, but for now, it stays unclear.

I fear my time has come to an end in North Vision... with a fresh and blossoming new life in France and very heavy engineering classes, I saw my interest sharply declining in the contets, despite once begging to join it as a 15 year old - back in the 27th edition. It's amazing to see the heights this contest has reached, and I am glad that I have helped it be that with all the efforts that I dedicated to the contest. 

Leaving both the council and the contest is a hard decision, and I still have my doubts about it. Maybe I will join another delegation as a mere helper, or just become an observer from the outside. Nonetheless, NVSC has been a huge part of my life and i do not regret anything that I have done (or haven't done) for the contest. The once child version of me that was going insanely happy over video designs, songs from all around the world or the thought of even joining the NBU council would probably hate me for what I am doing right now, but I think I have reached the point where I can actively contribute nothing to this organization.

Good luck to whoever receives Spain, and remember, it will take a while for you to outsell me XOXO

Besos,
Alper
