Hello everyone!
After the success of the first edition of TacoVision, I felt like I needed to host this again shortly afterwards. Therefore, I now invite you to the 2nd edition of TacoVision!
The name itself is inspired by the real life event called Eurovision which is a contest in which participating nations send their own artists to compete in a song contest. In that contest, the songs have to be newly written and so, this contest departs from that format.
In this contest, I ask each willing participant to submit a song that they like (or think will win) that is already out and about. Thus the song does not have to be new or anything. Though I will allow for politically motivated songs (unlike in Eurovision), standard rules of conduct apply. So nothing offensive will be permitted. Occasional swearing in the song is permitted as long as it isn't the "focal point" of the song.
When the deadline for song submission ends, we will enter a period in which each participant (and non-participants) will listen to each song. Participating nations will vote on the songs they like best. Failure to send votes before deadline will result in disqualification.
Songs must be submitted as follows:
Your main nation's name:
Artist:
Song title:
YouTube link:You will have till Sunday, September 13th, 11.59PM GMT to submit a song. Only one song per nation and no changing after song has first been submitted. I will make a list of entrants and their submissions and will not make any changes to that list except for adding to it.
Voting
Following the first deadline, the listening and voting part takes place. Votes are sent to me in private. Either Discord Message or Forum Message. No other means will be permitted.
You are not allowed to vote for yourself!
You will allocate points to each song you like best using the following template:
12 points - Top Choice
10 points
8 points
7 points
6 points
5 points
4 points
3 points
2 points
1 point
1st reserve
2nd reserve
3rd reserve
4th reserve
5th reserve!Use name of contestant instead of song!
Here is an example of a vote sheet:
12 points Tacodude
10 points Bacon
8 points Fajitadude
7 points VeganTaco
6 points Tortilladude
5 points Enchiladadude
4 points Piñatadude
3 points Guacamoledude
2 points Salsadude
1 point Nachodude
1st alternative Inspector Gadget
2nd alternative Colgate
3rd alternative Jarritos
4th alternative Tex-Mex
5th alternative JalapeñodudeAll names need to be unique and that includes the alternatives. If Bacon and VeganTaco are disqualified, those listed below move up to replace. The list would look as follows:
12 points Tacodude
10 points Fajitadude
8 points Tortilladude
7 points Enchiladadude
6 points Piñatadude
5 points Guacamoledude
4 points Salsadude
3 points Nachodude
2 points Inspector Gadget
1 point Colgate
1st alternative Jarritos
2nd alternative Tex-Mex
3rd alternative JalapeñodudeThe five reserves give me room to work in case contestants are disqualified. Fajitadude gains 10 points instead of 8 as originally intended. This was due to Bacon being disqualified. Same with Tortilladude who gains 8 instead of 6 because VeganTaco was disqualified. And so the contestants below also moved up to first available point allocation. This left the two bottom points (2 points and 1 point) empty but they were filled by the first and second reserves.
So the alternatives are contestants whose songs you thought were nearly good enough for points.
At the end of the listening and voting period, the points will be counted and the contestant with most points will be declared winner. This will again be presented on Discord first through VC the first weekend after the deadline for vote submission.
The deadline for vote submission will be Thursday, September 24th at 11.59PM GMT
There will be a listening session on Discord somewhere during the weekend of Friday, September 18th - Sunday, Sunday 20th.
1st place will receive 75,000 Tacos
2nd place will receive 50,000 Tacos
3rd place will receive 25,000 Tacos
I hope to see a lot of contestants! At least enough so that the point allocation list can be filled up in full!
