 **About the Contest** The **TerraVision Song Contest** (often shortened to TVSC) is an Online Competition in the style of Eurovision. The Contest launched on May 28th 2021, when Owners Danny & Aaronas signed a contract with the **TerraVision Broadcasting Union** which allowed the show to be broadcasted in 43 Countries. The headquarters for the contest is currently based in  **Moscow, Russia** and has been based there since April 2021. The current Executive Producers of the contest are **Danny & Aaronas**.
Each Countries Head of Delegation selects an entry through either Internal or National Selection, ultimately resulting in the selected songs for each show. Each Delegation then submits 2 Sets of votes to the contest, one representing the Professional Juries of their country and the other representing the Online Votes from their countries' viewers. The contest is broadcasted currently in Europe only, therefore a Rest of the World vote is collected from all the other Broadcasters that watch the show. In the end, all votes are collected and turned into the Traditional TerraVision Voting System, causing the country with the most votes to be declared the Winner of the Competition.

 **TerraVision Song Contest: Our Story**
 On 20th April 2021,  **Danny** &  **Aaronas** formed a new broadcasting union with 43 European TV Stations called the **TerraVision Broadcasting Union** (or TVBU). This union signed a contract with the Contest producers in order to broadcast and compete in the contest. The name TerraVision was decided after all 43 Delegations discussed the production, and referenced "Terra" as a way to connect the Earth through individuality, and most importantly: Music. The First Edition commenced on the 28th May 2021, when the Official Trailer was released on the Contests' YouTube Channel. This sparked the Head of Delegation appointing and by the 7th June 2021, all prepared delegations were ready to compete for the first time in TerraVision History.
On 14th May 2021, the TerraVision Broadcasting Union employed 3 Delegation Workers to become members of the Official Council Team.  **Arys** was appointed as the Moderation Specialist,  **Cameron** the Approval Specialist and  **Conor** was appointed as the Media Specialist. Together, they reviewed the rules and collectively decided on the format of the contest. Each Council Member has been working on the team throughout the preparation process and competed from the First Edition as Heads of Delegations.
