About this

## Whats this contest?

This is an Internet song contest. It is like the Eurovision Song Contest, however on the web, where people could send 2 songs from two different countries to participate. People also vote on each others countries, just like the real contest.

## Is it fictional or real?

The bidding places aren't real. There is no current gig on that stage. Also most broadcasting is fake, however its possible we could have radio broadcasting soon. If possible we would set (REAL) behind it.

## The Rules

### Sending songs

* You could send 1 or 2 songs; 2 or 3 songs if you are the winner of the previous edition, one song representing the previous edition's winning country. (Ex.: If Belgium won the First Edition, the contestant must provide 2 or 3 songs, one of which is Belgium's representative.)
* The songs need to be from different regions.
* There is no age limit. The artist could be as old or young as you want.
* There is no age limit of songs. The song could be from the 1950s or the current year.
* The songs from other competitions are allowed, such as: ABU TV Festival, ABU Radio Festival, Türkvizyon, Euro Pop Contest and Volcavision.
* No Eurovision, Junior Eurovision and ABU TV Cup Contest songs are allowed. However they are only allowed as interval act. The only exeption is when somebody represent theirself.
* Songs from national selections are allowed.

* American and Sub-Saharan countries and regions not from the list are allowed however there is a max of 4 non-listed American and Sub-Saharan countries. So it still have an Euro-Asian atmosphere.
