Welcome to the confirmation stage of BJSC XLIX here in Cherry Tree City, Ramrynia! It is time for all of you to confirm your entry for the contest!

Entry Guidelines

There are a few guidelines to follow before confirming your entry:

The song must not have been entered into a previous edition of BJSC or a BJSC spin off.
The artist must not have finished in the top 3 of the previous edition of BJSC.
The song must not be a former entry of the Eurovision Song Contest, or currently be in the running to represent a country at the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest.
Your desired artist must not have been submitted by yourself in the previous contest meaning you can't send the same artist twice in a row.

Confirming Your Entry

In order to confirm your entry, you must send a PM to me with the following required information in this format:

Country Name:

Artist:

Song:

Link to entry: (YouTube, Soundcloud etc.)

When you have submitted an entry and the entry is available, the name of your country will appear in the “confirmed countries” list at the bottom of this post. Furthermore, you will receive a PM from me explaining whether your entry has been successful or has been submitted earlier by another country. When I confirm that your song is available I will then ask you for your MP3 and flag. Please use a simple format such as the one below when sending me this information.

MP3 Link:

Flag:

It is extremely useful to send me a link to an MP3 of your entry as well as a link to your flag somewhere on the forum whether it is in the flags thread, your national thread or embedded into the PM. If you do not include an MP3 link, it is likely that the quality of the MP3 I find will not be of a quality you desire. Also, if you do not send me a link to a flag, I will create a basic one for you for use in this contest. However, it is better if you create a flag yourself so it will properly represent your country.

Moderator Approval

Furthermore, all entries will be sent for moderator approval. This is where the moderators will choose whether to deem your entry to be too “cheap” for the contest as it is likely to be already known by a significant number of participants. If your entry is declared too “cheap”, your entry will be vetoed and you will be alerted by PM. Please be aware that your entry could be vetoed at any time up until the semi-final showcase begins. You will then have a chance to change your entry, so please have a backup entry ready in case this situation occurs.

Important Details

Finally, the winning country from the last contest, Aeroche, will automatically qualify for the final. If there is an even number of participants at the end of confirmation, the runner-up from the previous contest, Ramrynia, will also automatically qualify. This will ensure that there are an equal number of entries in each of the semi-finals to keep it fair.

Each country will be able to change their confirmed entry during the confirmation period, however only 2 changes will be allowed. Of course, forced entry changes due to vetos or because your entry has already been taken do not count as one of your 2 changes. You can change your entry up until the confirmation deadline.

This confirmation stage will end on Wednesday 10th September at 7pm UK time. Any confirmations received after this time will not be accepted.

Thank you!
