Will be posted SoonTM

The festival near to where I grew up BARELY updated its lineup from when I used to go in the late 00s/early 10s.

Great!

Is it confirmed that we're just at one veto? Once it is then we'll be ready to get going with the semis tonight! Looking at 64 entries which means I've managed to bag myself an AQ. B-)

The Eurodance pls

That is the kind of move that encourages the ultimate strike action which is leaving the sector altogether, and teacher retention isn't something that you can really afford to make worse than it already is.

We have one veto! The participant has been informed. 55 entries now (including the one pending reconfirmation). Not sure how many confirmations tend to happen on the last day but I believe failing to hit 60 would be less than average. If it's because my hosting is bland and uninspiring then I'll add some word art or something for the next thread x

48 entrants and you will spot a name that I believe we haven't seen in a good while! Hoping for a few more submissions than that as the deadline approaches.

Everyone whose confirmation has been received has been updated in the OP. If you're not there and confirmed before this post then somebody erased your entry. My bad.

Idk what I did but I submitted the initial link provided by Bré and it goes to a new form entry when opening the link in incognito, so should be fine now!

OH. Let me fix this.

Hi, welcome to BJSC 159 held someplace in Skall. You can check the rules which apparently have been the same since 2016 here. Your entry can't have been sent to BJSC before. A list of previous entries is here. Ideally it won't have been sent to a different contest either, but I'm not helpful enough to provide a link to those. You can't confirm an artist who came top 3 in the previous contest - Lucia & The Best Boys, moistbreezy and SVEA. More generally, your entry has to be judged by moderators to be sufficiently inspired, passing the veto framework that you can find here. As the winner of the previous contest, Summericia will automatically qualify for the final. If there is an even number of participants then I will too. I don't think I get any hosting privileges there. The rest of you will be divided into two semi finals and the top 20 from each semi final will qualify for the final. The following nations are banned this month as they failed to vote in last month's final: Ben's Sanctuary and Pagasa. Confirmations will be open until Sunday October 22nd @ 23:59. I have every intention of posting the semi finals the following day.Confirm here. Barebones, but I think that's it!

All good. We're getting going when the rugby is finished.

So yes no green room, confirmations thread coming up tonight. Let's say about 21h BST.

You can switch from worrying about whether there IS a host to worrying about the person doing the hosting as it will be me x

I can actually host but it will be graphicless just like 10 years ago.

I get a medal position for the first time in nearly a decade and I don't even see until ridiculously late as I'm on an island in the middle of the Atlantic. I thought that moistbreezy would have wide appeal but still didn't see that coming!

SF1 was fine, enough decent songs to vote for but lacking a massive standout track - hopefully SF2 has some!

It was very much an impulse entry as I sent it after one listen only. I think what swung is is that its intro rly reminds me of Chordashian 'Cold Nights' that was an Aeroche entry a whole a decade ago and one of my favorites from then!

Congrats Oliver! And thankyou Kath for hosting and proving how far the capabilities of Blackberries have come on since 2009.

I see your point oops. You got good points from me last month - hopefully next time too!

For the commiserations I go through the tracks and go 'I'll consider this for points', and bearing in mind how good SF2 was, I was already being very selective. And then once pointed from my shortlist, anything left gets onto a commiserations list which is never as long! I expected SF1 to be a dud, assuming that all the quality was locked up in SF2, but that wasn't the case at all. I really like how we are using Mod Edit explanatory lines in same the way that Twitter community notes are used to violate ppl x Happy with any of the top 10 winning.

Thanks I really needed this excellent edition!! I only regret that a top BJSC edition has come during a busy time for me so I've not been able to fully digest all these great new tracks - I'll make sure to come back to the tracks and get the ones that stick added to my long-term playlists!
