Any tips on how I can get people to join my International Fantasy SongContest? It's in the Other Contests topic, if you want to join. Thanks in advance and greetings from The Netherlands, Jeffry.  |

Because there are already so many contests it can sometimes be difficult to find participants. It also takes time to get more and more participants so things will always be slow at start with a new contest.

I'm not big on having like 40 per edition, I'm happy for UVSC just having around 12-18 songs per edition.
I'm currently on the 8th edition, and 15 participants which is the highest to date.

More and more people want to join VSC, too but I have to say sorry  Because I think a final with 25/26 songs (like in real ESC; and I wanted to become VSC a little bit like real ESC) is enough I don't want to have around 40 songs or something like that |

I have 27 participants. What I did was send messages to possible users. Also, like VSC, you need to make your contest unique so more people would be interested to join  |

In the first 2-3 editions I sent some messages to people I knew and to people who were joining SSC (my old contest),and in the next editions people find WVSC in their own.

OVSC went completely downhill after we got 40+ participants (record was 44). We will go easy when we return to not get past 30. I have 27 participants. What I did was send messages to possible users. Also, like VSC, you need to make your contest unique so more people would be interested to join I never liked the idea to message users from other contests which we proudly never did. When OVSC first came and many new contests started a lot of our participants got spam messages about joining other contests which they felt was really annoying and even made some quit the community just because of it. They basically couldn't be part of one contest without almost being forced into several others. |

Including myself, I have 3. Maybe include songs from people who send in a song but don't vote, but let a wider audience vote?? |

Some people blame me for this. |
