Ahead of the official contest opening (which will probably happen at some point next week), now is the time to confirm your entry into the new contest to give the new host (Mdice) a rough idea of how many countries will be taking part and whether a semi-final will be required or not. So without further ado, confirm whether you will be entering or not! The closing date for entry confirmations will be Sunday the 9th of December at the earliest (depending on contest dates).

NB:
* You are not allowed to begin National Finals or announce song selections until the contest is officially opened by the host nation (Mdice - Medicatedsoap).

* New entrants must first create their nations and flags and choose their territory in the pinned Sign Up thread if they haven't done so already before confirming their entry. Flags and country names must be confirmed in this thread.

* Before you confirm your entry you must read the rules!

Countries:

* Anyone wishing to participate must come up with the bare minimum of a country name and flag, although other details about the country, for example the language or the name of the capital city, are encouraged.
* Before every edition a thread will be made asking people for confirmation of their entry - this is the time you must send your "new country" information to the host, if you're hoping to participate for the first time. However, all countries must confirm their participation each time.

Artists & Songs:

* Artists being used by another country may not be used in the same contest. This includes artists being used in another country's National Final until they have confirmed they will not be entered for them.
* Artists used in the prior contest may not be used for the following contest. This only applies to your entry - the artist may be used in the following contest if they were used by another country in the prior contest.
* Artists who came top 3 in the prior contest may not be used for the following contest.
* Songs may not have taken part in the Eurovision Song Contest (or the Junior version), nor may they have taken part in a national final for the (J)ESC.
* Songs may be covers.
* Songs can be in any language.
* Countries may use a "national final" or an "internal selection" to choose their entries.
* Songs can have been released at any time.
* Songs may not have been used in previous contests, however they may have been used in previous National Finals, but only if unsuccessful.
* NB: Although you can enter any song you like (provided it hasn't already been entered for Eurovision before or someone else has entered a song by the same artist) it's far far better if you don't choose something that everyone will already know. Part of the fun of this contest is discovering new music!

Hosting:

* The right to host goes automatically to the winner of the previous edition. If for any reason the previous winner cannot, or does not want to, host, then the right falls to the second placed, then the third, the fourth, and so on. The host is expected to take care of the song presentation and the presentation of the results, as well as collecting the songs and votes in the first place.

Voting:

* The nations must PM their points to the organizing country. These points are: 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point.
* If a country does not submit its votes on time, it will have 75% taken away from its score
* Eliminated semi finalists must vote in the final if they expect to participate next time, and prequalified finalists must vote in the semi final, otherwise they will be removed from the final.
* Revealing your votes before they are officially announced is not allowed.
* Making 'deals' with other countries (example - swapping votes) is not allowed.

Punishment:

* Infringing any of these rules will lead to disqualification from the current and following contest as well as a retraction of any votes given by the offending nation if any.
