The top 20 of each QF will progress to the Semis to take on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th placed hits of 2021 so your odds of making it through are 50/50. Anyone who participated in at least one BJSC contest in 2021 is welcome to vote in this round in either QF using the 18 points system. Failure to vote in a round where one of your songs is competing, however, will incur a penalty of 15 points. PM your votes to me, LexC by 23:59 GMT on Monday 27th December (i.e. you've got a week plus the Xmas period so plenty of time to fit it around/in stead of seeing and talking to your loved ones this year x)

Let the Quarter Finals begin!
