When can we expect first edition to start?

Tomorrow I'm going on vacation until September, so we will pause. In the meantime, we will search for moderators, prepare all the rules, choose a name

Wait... so you're saying that we cannot do anything without your supervision? :?

I like the region rule tbh, but it's a bit confusing.

Let's say, I'm first with choosing Belgium. Then someone comes and he chooses Brussels, that means I can't send a song from Brussels anymore?? It's rather unfair imo.

I and Reggie are heads of the contest. I'm leaving, Reggie haven't many time, so we will pause to take any decisions until I come back. This is our decision.

I think you should have the right to select any song, including those from Brussels (imo)

If you are in jury of Faroese Islands you must send song from there.

But you can switch juries every three months,so you can send songs from other countries.

You can send whatever song you want.
You can choose your song on your own only if you're the only one in the jury(but we will maybe have one person jury )
OK, well that sounds fair. And thanks for explaining. I agree with what Trece said that even if we do regions and whatnot, that you should still be able to send songs from the whole country your region is from, not just from that particular region as there will be so very few songs to choose from, if any.

And please, let those who want to be their own jury be allowed to do so. :D

I believe juries will have the possibility to decide on how to handle regions. I am also against staying in 1 region forever. for now there's 3 of us in Cro jury and it turns out, we are all from diff regions. and I want to send songs from their regions too, mine will become boring to me very soon xrofl2

As in the Olympics:
In one discipline can compete few athletes from one country. In the contest will be able to compete few songs from one country too, only instead of the names of athletes will be the names of the regions :mrgreen:

So we can be competing under a name of a region, but can send a song from artists who aren't from our region? If yes, then great :)

it will solve this poll http://www.escforums.com/t8435/
option: 1st pair / B.The regions can send any song from their own country (for example: Catalonia can send any Spanish song)

I am personally cheering for this

Instead of regions, why not call our juries after things that represent that particular country? It could be a town, place, historical event, national symbol, even something fictional from your country.

For example:

US juries
:us: Mount Rushmore
:us: Uncle Sam
:us: Gettysburg

French juries
:fr: Monte Cristo
:fr: Versailles
:fr: La Révolution

UK juries
:uk: Stonehenge
:uk: British Empire
:uk: Britannia

German juries
:de: Brandenburger Tor
:de: Schwarzwald
:de: Brothers Grimm

Swedish juries
:se: Moder Svea
:se: Birka
:se: Nangijala

And so on. Then you wouldn't be bound to a specific region. :)

Hmm, yes. I can really see the major advantage of that. It would solve the illogical problem of a song not coming from a particular region.

I personally was thinking about "numbers": Sweden 1, Sweden 2, Sweden 3 and Sweden 4. Germany 1, Germany 2, Germany 3 etc.

I wrote here about little and depending countries but now i can suggest that depenting and little countries can be represented by artists from part of Europe, where these countries are belong to
(As example: Aland Islands can be represented by singers from Scandinavian countries and Baltics)

that is also a nice idea. more I think about it, more I like it :D

numbers (UK 1, UK 2 etc) have been mentioned few times already (I mentioned them as well), that would be a "safe" option but Stargazers' idea is more fun xshrug

I don't have any problems with that but it also makes no difference to me either. we don't have depending country or something like that xshrug
