So I'm typically running late for the drive back up to uni. Stay tuned; results will probably be being pushed back to 10.

Sorry for any inconvenience x

I'm hosting the results as David's internet is terrible. Unfortunately join.me only lets 10 people in at once so hurry if you want in. Results will be posted afterwards on the thread anyway :3

I actually love the nature of this competition, judging based off the actual song > judging based off suitability imo.

Thanks to everyone who voted for me, yaaay, so excited to have won!

So, the second contest starts now! The rules are the same as before but just in case you need a reminder they're repeated again below.

Spoiler

So the premise of the game is quite simple:
- You will enter one song through private message to me (Gav 2.0)
- After a few days of submission time, all songs will be posted in a song list on this thread.
- All participants must then send a vote by the time the round ends (for the first one, we'll use a week of voting and see how it goes from there)
- Voting will be Eurovision Style - ranking your top 10 songs, awarding 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1 points respectively.
- After voting, results will be revealed and we'll have our winner!
- The winner of the round will then be given the opportunity to host the next round.

Now, there are rules and requirements that you must abide by with your song choices:
- An entry MUST be no more than a year old, whether this be single released or an album track on an album released no more than a year ago.
- The song must not have already been used.
- The song must not exceed 5 minutes in length.
- Songs without lyrics are banned from the contest.
- Covers are also banned, only original songs.

Other Rules:
- You must not tell anybody which song is yours as the contest is to be held anonymously, anybody found to be telling people their song choice will be punished.
- Songlist reviews are encouraged, but don't let them get out of hand and be too offensive? It's okay not to like a song, but you don't need to absolutely slate it either.
- Failure to vote will result in a 12 point penalty to your song.

So the songs you send can be from any country in the world, in any language, and have either appeared in the charts or be an indie, inspired gem.

Any questions - feel free to ask, either on thread or through private message.


Please send stuff that's awesome, you have until 8pm on Monday to get those to me! Thanks thanks

PLAYLIST



To vote, please listen to the songs & then rank your favourite 10 Eurovision style, awarding points in order, with the greater points going to those you liked most (12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). Send me these votes in a private message to me (Gav 2.0).

The deadline for voting is midday on Friday 9th May with results from later. It'd be awesome to see people review and such like just to keep the thread active, some of that NTA realness wouldn't go amiss down here.
