It's time to grab your very best disguises and to pay tribute/imitate/rip-off (delete as appropriate) another nation as we aim to uncover who is the ultimate COPYCAT!

Below is a brief overview of the phases of this contest, from registration and submission to the voting and results, and I'll give more detail as we go along.

A couple of general rules that you should be aware of:

This spinoff is open to all NSC and WL nations with a minimum of 5 previous participations in NSC or WLSC (since our copycats will need at least something to take inspiration from when they select their song disguises!)
As this contest is about finding the best creative copycat, I'm employing the Effifestivalen ruling of disallowing both previous songs and previous artists sent by each nation.
To help retain the element of mystery and surprise, the identities of each "copycat" will be anonymously communicated by PM and you should avoid revealing the identity of your assigned nation publicly to the other competitors until after the voting phase has ended. ::moiMoisantia will send our "real votes" to another jury member before the show is posted in the interests of transparency and fairness ;)
Two sets of votes will be required from each player - one as your copycat nation (vote like them), and one as yourself; this will allow us to compare the copycat to their targeted nation's votes so we can uncover the true ultimate copycat!

If anything isn't clear, feel free to ask me! And thanks to Orian @dogmeat for the assistance with the rules and concept thus far xlove




PHASE 1: Register your interest - Deadline: Thurs 8th July, 23:59CEST
Simply post your nation's name in this thread to register your interest in participating in this spinoff.
(Also post a HQ flag link if not available on the Wikia or your own thread)

Your assigned nation to copy will be randomly drawn and communicated by private conversation by the host after the above deadline.

PHASE 2: Send your copycat entry - Deadline: Sat 17th July, 23:59CEST
Send your copycat entry by private conversation to me (theditz83) by the above deadline.
Remember that you're aiming to emulate the style and tastes of your assigned nation so be sure to use the database and Wiki (https://nsc.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page) for inspiration.
Also remember that previous artists and songs sent by your assigned nation in the main NSC and WLSC contests are not permitted.

Please also feel free to provide me with your preferred 20-second section to be used in the recap video ;)

Time to vote!!!

PHASE 3: Time to vote - Proposed Deadline: Sun 25th July, 23:59CEST

Two sets of votes are required - one to represent your "copycat votes" reflecting your assigned nation's tastes, and the other to represent your own taste (full voting instructions in the show post)

PHASE 4: Let's reveal the Ultimate Copycat (RESULTS) - Proposed date: Tues 27th/Wed 28th July, 23:59CEST
Time to unveil the Ultimate Copycat - sit back and enjoy the show as the masks come off!

::rum is in

I see no reason ::moi couldnt participate; your only drawback will be that you'll know everyone's identity
When it comes to the voting phase, me being able to see how the copycat Moisantia voted would allow me to copy their votes as my "real votes" to get more bonus points, thus giving me an advantage.

I'm cool with not participating this time around - I have way too many contests ongoing right now tbh :lol:

lol, that image quality of my flag.
Yeah, downsizing flags to be similar to the forum flag emojis always risks potato quality results, but rest assured that the show graphics will be better xheart

Also, I've decided to take part as well since I don't want to miss out on this opportunity - I'll just send my "real Moisantia votes" to another jury for fairness and full transparency before the show is posted ;) xheya
