Hello, and welcome to the fifteenth edition of Osirisvision! A monthly competition in which rulers of fictional countries submit songs and vote to choose the best song.
Osirisvision works very similarly to the Eurovision Song Contest, a real life competition in which countries from the European continent submit songs that represent them throughout the contest, and others vote to choose the winner. Unlike Eurovision, however, which is a yearly competition, Osirisvision happens once a month. Anyone, who owns a country in Osiris, or just any kind of fictional country, is welcome to join. All you need to be is someone I can easily reach out to for votes (that is, be active on the local chat, or any other chats I too am active on).
Sign-ups/song submissions happen every month on the 1st, when a thread for the monthly edition of Osirisvision is published on the Forums of Fantendo, and last until the 10th, which is when voting begins. Voting ends whenever I receive all votes, although the contest may also end on the 25th, which is the deadline for votes, in the case that not all votes are sent.
As for sign-ups, each person willing to participate must publish something on this thread. However not the song you've chosen, as songs are meant to be submitted privately (this is to avoid bias while voting). Same goes for votes; which also are meant to be submitted privately, on chat private messages.
You can submit any genre, artist, etc. you'd like, except for parodies, songs shorter than two minutes, and covers/remixes/demos/mash-ups of songs already previously submitted. You can submit songs by the same artist in the same edition, as long as it's not the same song.
And, finally, as for voting, the format is the same as that of Eurovision. Each user awards 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points to different songs, and people who fail to vote in time will be disqualified. You can't give the same amount of points to two songs, and you also can't give points to yourself.
