Hello everyone!
For some time, I have wanted to host an event on this forum. It is an event inspired by the RejectVision in The Rejected Realms. I bring to you Taco Island's first 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.
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, August 2nd, 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 alternative
2nd alternative
3rd alternative
4th alternative
5th alternative
!Use name of contestant instead of song!
The alternatives have to be filled out as well since if a contestant is disqualified and is on your list, all subsequent contestants will be bumped up.
At the end of the listening and voting period, the points will be counted and the contestant with most points will be declared winner.
The deadline for vote submission will be Thursday, August 13th at 11.59PM GMT
There will be a listening session on Discord somewhere during the weekend of Friday, August 7th - Sunday, August 9th.
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!
In addition
This contest needs a banner... I'm willing to pay 20,000 Tacos to anyone who can make something beautiful. Something with tacos(s) and music and perhaps a bit of fun.
