I also find I enjoy the contest the most when I feel like I've entered something that I'm currently really loving, whenever I send something that I liked a few months back I always find the contest can be a bit of a chore as I'm not really even that behind my own entry - notable exception if it's something I really love from a long time ago like Tori last contest or when I sent Jam & Spoon.Fingers crossed there'll be some new and exciting things released before the next one!

The current one is your 49th so you can send an anniversary entry next if you'd like to What does it mean anniversary entry. What is allowed? 🫣

January 18Jan 18 Not strictly true, just to be clear (I know that was a joke comment, for the record!) We absolutely would not have accepted Stitches or Señorita for Shawn amended for example. Or Beggin For Threat for BANKS.The point is to send someone who means something to you / your nation, but kinda… keep it within the walls of what you would be able to send anyway but stretched a bit further to represent you.
January 18Jan 18 I kinda 'wasted' my 50th anniversary entry by sending just some fun song that didn't represent me or my nation at all, and wouldn't have been vetoed regardless. Lol. Maybe if I reach 100, I will think of something more apt.
