## Inspiration

After the pupils of A2 entered High School, it was obvious that something has to be done so everybody should have strong relationships with everyone. Seintinai J, Seintinai F and Dmitriuk came up with a song contest named SchoolVision Song Contest. Every participant would sing a song that wrote by him/herself and then all participants would vote for their favourite song! In the end, the pupil with the most points would win.

After that, they told Oikonomidis and Seferi their idea and they also liked it, so they decided to make this contest come true! They also sent invitations to Tselios, Deligiah, Dervishi, Begiah and Tsatsa to participate but nobody accepted it. However, Tselios and Begiah watched the show as the only audience.

## Host

The 5 basic pupils decided the very first edition of the contest would host by Oikonomidis. Seferi also shown interest in hosting, but he withdrew his bid. Firstly, it was supposed to be held every time in Oikonomidis, but the show would lose its main target, which is to unite people. So it was decided the show would be hosted in the house of the previous winner.

## Voting System

The voting system was very simple. Each participant gives a set of points: 5 points, 4 points, 3, 2 and 1 point. That means 5 pupils get points every tme. Since there were only 5 participants, everyone received points from everybody, including themselves.

The rules were simple; the points are given from a pupil to the songs he likes more. (S)he gives 5p to their favourite song, 4p to their second favourite song ........ and finally 2p to their least favourite song. Everyone was obliged to give the 1p to their own entry, so the voting would be fair.

The participants would vote in the same running order of the performances' one.

## Participants and Songs

Only the original 5 members took part in the first edition. These were Dmitriuk Gianna **(DMI)**, Oikonomidis Dimitris **(OIK)**, both Seintinai Jessica **(SJE)** and Fluorneda **(SFL)** and Seferi Atilio **(SEF)**.

A draw was made by the hoster to dermit the running order of the performances. Coincidentally the person who sang first also got the first place. The hoster closed the show.
