  Kazakhstan is OUTToday, after long discussions, the NBU Council decided to suspend the Kazakh participation in the Northvision Song Contest, and the Kazakh head of the delegation, @antwanfromnl , due to repeated infractions towards the NBU, by sending a Tajik singer (Dilnaz) to compete for Kazakhstan, despite the fact it's forbidden to send a foreign act for a country if there are less than nine native acts in a National Selection. KTK - Kommercheskiy Televizionyy Kanal, the Kazakh broadcaster failed to vote in both Semifinal and Final and the NBU had to ask immediately for Back-Up Judges. Kazakhstan won't be able to take part in Northvision for at least three editions, and afterwards, a new broadcaster will have to apply for Northvision, as KTK lost the
requirements for the NBU membership and therefore won't be able to join the NBU anytime soon.

NTK-TV Applies for NBU
Right after the news informing that Kazakhstan was disqualified from the contest, NTK, a new broadcaster has sent an application to enter the contest with a new Head of Delegation. The request is still pending a response by the NBU Council, and it's less likely that the Kazakh broadcaster will join Northvision #6. However, Kazakhstan might re-join the contest before the time limit of the imposed fine, but the North Broadcasting Union has to check again if NTK has all the requirements to enter. |

Several Announcementes Published! The NBU approved today NTK's application in order to be eligible to participate in Northvision again.NTK-TV and Kazakhstan will be able to take part in the contest from the 7th edition onwards. Transnistria and Sealand's wishes to debut in Northvision weren't listened by the NBU Council. Unfortunately, these two territories will never take part in the contest, as they aren't recognized countries. After some discussions about the famous "Covers rule", where it was proposed to be abolished, the NBU Council decided to keep the rule, at least for the upcoming editions. Estonia will join the borrower countries and will be able to borrow from Southern Finland, from the counties of Turku-Pori, Vaasa, Häme, Keskl Suomi, Pohjois Karjala
, Mikkeli and Kymi. The only applied condition is that a Finnish song can represent Estonia once in five editions only. The countries allowed to borrow only once in five editions (Starting from NVSC 6 onwards) are: Cyprus from  Greece (and vice-versa) Moldova from  Romania/  Ukraine  Slovakia from  Czech Republic (and vice-versa) Bosnia Herzegovina from  Serbia/  Croatia Slovenia from Serbia/ Croatia Montenegro from Bosnia Herzegovina/ Serbia Georgia from  Russia Estonia from  Southern Finland France from French-Speaking part of  Switzerland Italy from Italian-Speaking part of Switzerland Ireland can take Celtic-languaged songs |

Armenia out of NVSC 06
After the controversy with the Armenian national final and the false voting, the NBU has decided that Armenia will be banned from the sixth edition. However, return of the country in the seventh edition is possible if the broadcaster decides to do so. Also, Norway will host the fifth North Vision in Concert instead of Armenia, as the country came second in the selection. AMPTV, the Armenian broadcaster, will additionally receive a strike and pay a fine to the NBU.

Official Stage for Northvision #6 revealed!
Today, the first official sketches of the stage were revealed, bringing a union of some of the proposed stages sketches of some well-known stage designers, who were able to submit their stage designs right after Northvision #5 has finished. It will have a round-shape, will be furnished by huge LED Screens and will have a lot of Strobe Lights. The Arena Smasher Company said that the work will begin just after the Vinkovci Arena will be finished, and the stage will be placed in the middle of the Stadium, so that the LED Screens will be very extended through the hall.

!BREAKING NEWS! Romania will have to change their NVSC entry!An anonym source has claimed to the NBU, that the Romanian NVSC #6 entry "Be My Lover" performed by Inna might be a cover!
After the NBU checked this, "Be My Lover" by Inna is a cover, more specific a sample, originally performed by La Bouche in 1995.
As it is clearly breaking the rules, the NBU found no other solution than asking TVR to change their entry. |
