Thank you for the fast update, and so sorry to bother you with this more, but Banja Luka changed it's flag in 2017. It's rectangular now, but I made it in these emoji proportions to make it easier for you.BANJA LUKA
::balu :balu:
I have a question and I don't know where to post it, so here:
Let's say there is a song completely song by Artist X from Country A and remixed by Artist Y from Country B. Is the song eligible for Country B? Or is the one who sings the song the only one "considered"?
Thank you for the fast update, and so sorry to bother you with this more, but Banja Luka changed it's flag in 2017. It's rectangular now, but I made it in these emoji proportions to make it easier for you.
Ps. Can someone move my thread to the Green Room too

To all participants,
We'd like to remind you about what is expected from you in the entry submission process. We've seen recently seen a spike in issues around eligibility, submission format and just general sloppiness. We'd like to make it clear that while we're here to check and confirm every entry, making sure they're eligible, it is not our job to do all of that work. It is important that you are checking this yourself before sending your entry to make sure it is eligible so we don't have any complications during the submission process and after. It generally takes several minutes to confirm entries, and in some cases even more upwards of 20 minutes. With 50+ entries to confirm and our own lives, we can't be constantly doing this over and over again. Here is a few key things you can do to make it easier:
To make this clear, if you're sending someone super obscure provide us with the links to show who the hell they are and how they're eligible. If it is not clear they're eligible, then either contact the mods well in advance (edition before ideally) to ask for clarity, or send your entry as soon as submission opens with the sources attached - Do not leave it to the final days or even hours (as that does happen) to throw a borderline entry at us. It isn't cute. This is also particularly important if you play with a region; they may be famous and from the wider country, but pinpointing them to your specific region can sometimes be hard. Use logic here and be as helpful as possible
- Provide supplimentary material (bios, articles, social media etc) that show how exactly your entry is eligible
We literally have it linked right there for you, use it. People sending songs that have already taken part happens far too frequently.
- Check the database
Literally send your entry like this below -
- Format it as we tell you to
Country:
Artist-song:
Video Link:
Back up:
It's that simple, you don't need to jazz it up with bold, italics, special fonts putting the song title in between ' ', also the artist and song title do not need to be different lines. Keep it simple and clean, so we can copy it over without having to change all of your formatting. Back-up entries may be optional, but we want to reiterate clearly how important they are, even if you're sure your song is eligible send one just in case. Some people even use the same back up repeatedly for several editions. You can't complain if you didn't send a backup and then your entry ends up disqualified.
Make sure what you're sending us is correct, check your links etc. It's not our job to correct your sloppy work later on mid edition or whenever.
- Double check
This isn't targeted at everyone, or any single person. It's directed to the vast majority to remind you what we expect from you when sending your entries, some of you already do this and we thank you, but we'd appreciate it if everyone could male it as easy as possible to limit mistakes and make our job easier by following what is written above.
Thank you,

I usually don't, but a couple of editions ago I did it because while I knew my song was completely legal I also suspected the mods were going to invent a rule and quickly apply it just to block my song and they did.I've made an effort to send a backup entry just in case, I've learned from the mistakes I made in the past

Thanks for the polite notice! The extremely kind, civil and respectful language used here gives away that it’s definitely penned by either Gaelle or Connor. No??
Anyway, I always send a back up entry and I strongly recommend it to everyone from many experiences I had earlier.
