The greatest cultural event of Nationstates has begun!
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Second Annual event the FRAVision song contest- a cultural exchange like no other! Each year is hosted by the previous winner, so please welcome your hosts…
Lazarus!
Great! But how the hell is this going to work?
FRAVision will be a song contest between regions and individuals. Any individual, collection of individuals or regions can submit an entry. The contest will last 12 special days and take the form of three phases...
1. Submission (15th-23rd May 2013)
Anyone wishing to participate will submit their entry by creating a thread in the Submissions Forum using the following format...
Topic Title: (Name of individual, group or region)'s Entry
Body:
Name of candidate:
Inspiration/Description of entry:
Entry: (link to video, song or posting of lyrics)
Why should you win??:
Once the submission phase is over the judges (made up of all regional reps of the FRA Regional Assembly) will vote on their preferred songs. Judges will rate their top 5 songs in order of preference (awarding their favourite 10 (dix) points, then 8 (huit) points, 6 (six) points and so forth). This will be done by judges posting their votes in a designated thread I will open.
3. Award Ceremony (26th May 2013)
Once the judging period is over the winners will be announced in an awesome and special award ceremony. Awards will be available for the top 3 candidates.
Sounds awesome. Can anyone take part?
I know, it does. Anyone can take part- you don't need to be a citizen of a FRA member region or even a defender. Each person is limited to one entry only however, including if they are submitting an entry as a group.
Can we make up our own song?
Of course. Entries are only required to be a song- if you've written your own we'd love to hear you sing it, but failing that lyrics are also accepted!
