GiraVision Song Contest Wiki

## Welcome to the **GiraVision Song Contest**!

This is a music contest inspired by the world-famous Eurovision Song Contest. People will claim a country and choose a song for that country, and each country will compete in a series of rounds, depending on how many countries are participating. The first season of GiraVision is currently ongoing.

## Rules

**Song Selection**

1. The song must be below 60 million views.

2. Worldchart artists are allowed every season ending in a 5.

2a. Worldchart artist = An artist with 3 or more songs with 100 million views or more.

3. Songs can be from any time period.

4. Songs that have competed in (J)ESC are not allowed, but songs from a Eurovision National Final are allowed after they get eliminated.

5. You cannot change your song once you submitted.

6. The song must have a 25-second timeslot that will be used in the recap.

7. No strongly political or inappropriate songs are allowed. However, 1 troll song is allowed per season.

8. Live versions and covers of songs are not allowed.

9. An artist can only compete for one country/territory per season.

10. The list of songs can be found in the List of Countries page.

**Country Claiming**

1. Countries will be randomly assigned to the contestants that wish to participate in each edition.

**Voting**

1. Voting will be done ESC style (12, 10, 8, 7-1) for your top 10 songs. You give 12 points to your favorite song, 10 to your second-favorite, and so on.

2. If you're not in a semi-final or final, you can still vote as a televoter! Those who have a country in a semi-final or final have to vote.

3. If you have a country in a semi-final or the final and do not vote, a certain amount of a song's points will be taken away, depending on the round you're in.

3a. If you don't vote in a semi-final, half of your song's points will be taken away.

3b. If you don't vote in a final, your song will have 0 televoting points instead of however many you get.

3ab. If the season only includes a final, half of the song's total points will be taken away if a country doesn't vote.

3bc. If there are no televoters in the semi-final or final, then the same would apply as rule 3ab.

**Seasons**

1. In every edition that ends in a 0 (e.g. 10, 20, 30, etc.), there will be an all-star season! Every song from the previous 9 seasons can compete for a second chance! (For example, if it's season 20, songs from seasons 1-19 can compete!)

1a. A song can't compete in these seasons if they (1) already won GiraVision or (2) were in the top 6 of in the edition before the all-star season, which is the seasons ending in 9 (e.g. the top 6 from Season 9 can't compete in Season 10).

1ab. If a country debuts in a season with a number ending in 9 and makes the top 6, I will make an exception and have you pick a regular song with all song rules applying.
