February 8, 20214 yr I knew there'd be at least one I missed from skimming :( added your country to the watchlist ~ Hahaha Thanks! I will be entering for sure. You could the double artist conf before we had a chance to note it, do you mind just sending me (or one of the mods) a PM with what artist it was?

February 8, 20214 yr On the subject of anniversary entries, I think this contest is my 47th. Can someone confirm that as it means I need to send notification of my anniversary artist fairly soon?

February 8, 20214 yr I agree with the overarching principle of having less stringent veto requirements for your anniversary entries when they're from an artist that means a lot to you, but I think some of these restrictions are a bit overzealous and don't really achieve anything. For example I don't know why you'd need to make your intentions known two months in advance when it doesn't take that long to collectively 'vet' something like that. Are you trying to cosplay a French government administration department or something x And more importantly, many nations hit 50 entries before these rules were made up in 2017 so unknowingly chose an anniversary artist. Like mine is apparently Kölsch who I sent in 2015, which is a bit of waste because none of his tracks would be vetoed anyway. The idea of of having just one is a bit iffy when several artists can be extremely important to you, some of which can come and go, and might not even have started their careers when you sent your 50th entry.
February 8, 20214 yr It’s an opt-in system so If you didn’t explicitly log an anniversary entry then the artist you sent on the Contest that just happened to be an anniversary doesn’t count as your anniversary artist, it’s just a normal entry. This is why it’s a tell us in advance opt-in system 1) so that we don’t veto it and have to undo it when you’re like „oh wait this is my anniversary entry soz“ because that just wastes everyone’s time and 2) because it’s supposed to have some form of meaning to you and not be something on a total whim to get a fresh track that’s a sure fire veto round the veto. Im Open to cutting it down to a month, but not scrapping the advance notice in totality. If you didn’t opt-in then it’s not automatic. It remains a completely voluntary concept and just because you opted in for 50 doesn’t mean you need to opt in for 100 or 250 (and vice versa if you didn’t opt in for 50 you still can for 100).
February 8, 20214 yr Entered! Went with j-pop. No idea who this is going to appeal to, except for Séyetana and maybe Jadakissnia? (Might end up changing it tho, there is this one pop-song that is really growing on me at the moment)

(Might end up changing it tho, there is this one pop-song that is really growing on me at the moment) Eventually we'll win the pop hoes round to J via Stockholm Syndrome :cheer: (regardless of whether you stick or not, it's been nice seeing at least a few of these from various people in recent contests) I have made my decision and I will probably regret it but... hey, I like standing out.
February 8, 20214 yr Upcoming potential anniversary entries this year (will be delayed if any of these miss any contests in the mean time obvz): 134 Aelandor 50th + Elëdan 100th + Ojnoj 100th + Republic of Adonia 50th + Summericia 50th 135 New Lexico 100th + Suedeonia 50th 136 Séyetana 100th 137 Beaverdonia 50th (if they return after their current ban) + Fljótavík 100th + Mulgracia 50th + Niceland 50th 138 Caerfyrddia 50th + Danæviia 100th (United States of Jack are on 44 entries so they could also have an anniversary this year if they return again, other countries who are within 9 of an anniversary are much longer absent so not really worth mentioning)
