Posted June 23Jun 23 Hello and welcome back to Buzzfestivalen! It's been four whole years since we took a camp mid-year turn towards this illustrious contest but it is now to time to say hello to Hendinia, Republique d'Askorza, Persephonia and New Lexico as we guide you through four heats in the seventh edition of Buzzfestivalen.For those of you who are unfamiliar with Buzzfestivalen, let me talk you through how this all works before you rush to the confirmation form.This is Buzzjack's very own mockery of Sweden's national final process for Eurovision, known as Melodifestivalen.• Across four heats, hosted by each of your BJSC moderators, you will compete with songs NO LONGER than three minutes to make it out of your heat, whether this be direkt to the finale or through Andra Chansen (second chance round). More of this will be explained in greater detail when we reach the semi final stage, particularly with regards to the numbers that will be advancing through to these stages, as this is dependant on participation numbers.• After confirmations, all the tracks are divided into one of 4 heats. You only vote in the heat you have been assigned. Voting windows typically only last for 5 days, due to the shorter length of songs and due to the semi finals containing, likely, no more than 10-12 countries in each. Each semi final is divided equally, so although a confirmation deadline is stated, we will officially proceed once we have 32/36/40/44 etc participants.• The usual ban on Eurovision and Junior Eurovision songs is extended in BJFest to include any songs that have competed in national finals for either of these competitions. The artists remain fair game, of course, but the songs are strictly off limits.• The standard veto framework DOES NOT apply for this competition and we are a little kinder to you. However, moderator discretion does still apply and we do reserve the right to veto any entries we deem against the spirit of the competition. Essentially, this means if you would receive an auto-veto for your entry in BJSC, you probably still won't get through the gates here.You have until 23:59pm on Sunday 29th June to confirm.

June 23Jun 23 Hype! Just remembered that my Club Bizarre entry that was vetoed for not fitting the theme enough was under 3 minutes so might as well use it here *.*
June 23Jun 23 NVM I FOUND SOMETHINGit might be taken bc y’all are god damn animals but I also found like eight other somethings that I can choose from as well (none of which will make it through the heat but the plan is to channel what creative energy I get from this into the second half of the year)

Then we have more than a month to confirm?Another question, if the video is more than 3 mins long but the song itself less, is it valid?

And video can be 3 minutes plus, but song must be no more than 3.

(It didn’t come up with the original form so I just filled out a new one)Whoops I forgot to turn on the settings to allow response editing / limit to 1 response. Now fixed, what does it show when you click on the form now? Curious if it retroactively picks up one of your previous submissions and if so which one x

June 23Jun 23 Oop. Well hopefully it should function as intended for anyone who confirms from now on x I'll just delete the first Cheiron submission from the response form.Anyway, hooray for finally having another edition of this after a 4 year gap! And after that whole time I still don't have an entry in mind particularly ddd so will have to brainstorm x(16 out of 18 entries so far being recycled artists lel)
