Freeze

I say take a risk! Send something that's a bit new for you😁 (or K-pop!😄) Something you think Greenfroze will love!🥳 What genres are your current potentials?

The current monarch of Greenfroze, High Green Supreme Necromancer IX, can confirm that the countries of Jadakissnia and Deandria has paid their green tribute. Because they shipped them this early, their chosen emissaries for the contest will be granted gratis travel to Greenfroze, and they can choose between the following transportation: 1. They can be flown in by poisonous fungal dragons. Antidote will be provided before take off. 2. By gurgling a glistening green oil from the witches of Mountains of Madness and travel, while wholly plastered, through the Dream Realm and materialize at the hotel one hour later. It will feel like one hour, but time in the Dream Realm works differently, so the journey will take them up to 40 years. They won't remember any of it, though. What happens in Dream Realm, stays in Dream Realm. 3. They can be swallowed by large emerald serpents that burrow underground and slither off to a luminous underground resort just below the venue. Towels will be provided at arrival.

😁 Haha, that's actually amazing! Love it!😅

Thank you for sharing some previous green entries. Ah, If I could only send this one now!😆 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_z2WgAEoBQ&list=RDQ_z2WgAEoBQ&start_radio=1 (Wait, why didn't that video thing work?☹️)

Yay! Oh, wow, so cool and handsome😁

Thanks so much, wohoooo!🤩

I'm not sure what to send yet. I still have a plethora of potentials. Now that I'm an autoqualifier, I can send something even riskier, wohooo! Just need to make sure I love my entry as well and don't send something for the heck of it😋 Last time I autoqualified, I think I ended up in last place, and I don't want to do that again. I'd like a decent EOY/YTD finish too :)

I love to hear it! Wow, that's cool😁 You know, I've been loving green for at least 20 years now and have been actively showing off my love for it (a huge portion of my wardrobe is green, and most of the stuff I buy is green), and I used to have green hair for a long time too. Here's a picture of me I recently found from... ah, I don't remember, but it's at least 15 years ago now, I think. I miss that hair sometimes:

Yes, you are free to objectify yourself😊 (thanks!)

KPOPHub, KPOPHub, KPOPHub!

Hello, everyone!😁 My favorite color is green, and I have decided to dedicate this contest to that color! The first thing I’m going to do, is show you what I’ve been reading lately: In the introduction, Pastoureau writes: “Green seems to be an ambivalent, if not an ambiguous, color: a symbol life, luck, and hope on the one hand, an attribute of disorder, poison, the devil and all his creatures on the other. In the following chapters I have attempted to recount the long social, cultural, and symbolic history of green in European societies, from Greek antiquity to the present. Long difficult to produce and even more difficult to fix, green is not only the color of vegetation, it is also and most importantly the color of destiny. Chemically unstable, as much in painting as in dyeing, through the centuries it has been associated with all that was changing, changeable, and fleeting: childhood, love, hope, luck, play, chance, money. It was only in the Romantic period that it definitely became the color of nature and thus of freedom, health, hygiene, sports, and ecology. Its history in the West is, in part, one of a reversal of values. Long unnoticed, disliked, or rejected, now it is entrusted with the impossible mission of saving the planet.” Yes, I know, green is incredibly amazing. I’ll be sharing some more of my findings with you as I go along. And then I'm going to show you a room in my apartment where I have lots of green stuff. It's my personal Green Room and as of this contest: our official Green Room! This is a small hallway. To the right is a door that I have blocked with a mirror and a black noise reduction panel/wall. It leads to the owners of the big house where I'm renting this apartment. To the left is a door to the bathroom and the door in front leads to my bedroom. Anyways, let's take a look at the various green stuff: From the top: a painting by a Norwegian artist called Marielle. She's an art student, and this was her very first sale, by the way. The green painting below hers is called "Pidgeons" by the Norwegian artist Per Krohg from 1914. The magpie is my favorite bird, and this is a lovely magpie with green feathers. I don't know the artist's name. A gorgeous reproduction of an artwork by the Norwegian artist Elling Reitan. I don't know the title. I don't know who, what, when or why, but I like it! Various green items and a Celebi-painting gifted to me by my cousin Lilly. Signed artwork in green frame by the artist Seb Mckinnon. It's titled "Entomb". A green mirror and a beautiful plant :) On the floor: grazing sheep :) IMPORTANT DATES: Confirmation period: Sunday the 1st of November – Friday the 6th of November (23:59 BST) Semi final voting period: Monday the 9th of November – Sunday the 15th of November (23:59 BST) Semi final results: Monday the 16th of November Final voting period: Monday the 16th of November – Sunday the 22nd of November (23:59 BST) Final results: Wednesday the 25th of November BONUS INSTRUCTIONS: Inspired in part by the previous host, what I would love for you to do is to DM me a picture of something that you own that is green and share the context/story behind it. It can be as short/long as you want and as mundane/epic as you like. The picture too can be as simple or creative as you like😊 Maybe a piece of clothing, a laser sword or just a bar of soap you bought randomly, that’s fine. As long as it’s yours and it’s green. If you don’t have anything green, because you obviously live in an asylum, take a picture of some grass or a tree outside and send me that. I will find a use for those pictures later in the contest😊Feel free to send them to me anytime from now and until you send me your semi final votes. I’ll remind you again in the voting thread. One more thing: Expressing love for green is encouraged! (UN) OFFICIAL RULES: At some point during this competition… 1. If you don’t say that you like green, you’ll receive 20% less presents for your birthdays and for Christmas and be 30% less happy at any future celebratory occasion. 2. If you claim to be indifferent to green, you’ll get a 10 % deduction on your score. 3. If you say that you dislike green, your dreams will never come to fruition. 4. If you say that you hate green, you’ll receive a one-year ban and end up in hell. Thank you! (It’s acceptable to say that green is alright or adequate and any other synonymous adjective.)

ooooh, that's a very good idea!

I was gonna ask if anyone have templates ready, as this is something I fear might be overwhelming indeed. So I'm thankful for this. I'll have to go through the "how to use"-section and try it out. Might I have the Excel files too?

I'm going to bed now, but if I'm still the winner after the double check, I'm going to need a moment to think about how I'll be hosting and whether I might need some help. I declined hosting duties last time, so it's been way past ten years since I last hosted. I'm really nervous about it. Anyways, thanks everyone for the kinds words and good night :)

I don't know what else to say. I love my song and I'm really happy! This contest has been amazing as well in general, as I've made some incredible discoveries this time. I often do, which is why I keep participating. You guys obviously have such great taste🥰 Perfectly hosted as well. So much fun!

Thanks so much for your support! I didn't see this win coming at all. I was hoping for a top 15 at best, and as the results kept going and I still wasn't announced, my heart kept pounding harder and faster! I think, as others have said, the story behind the song is definitely grim, and so the lyrics make it all so provocative, while at the same time I love how that's juxtaposed with the upbeat, sort of whimsy sound and anthemic refrain. I also love her voice, esthetics and personality in that stunning music video. It's very powerful in more way than one, so I'm really happy about this win. If I've done the math right, I've been winning every 7 years since I first won🤩

Thanks so much! Yes, I have won twice before, but it's been 84 years. First was in BJSC XL with Rachel Platten - "1000 ships" and then again in CXV, I think, with "Playa Grande" by Sofi Tukker & Bomba Estéreo🥳

OMG! Sweet euphoria!

Okay, now I'm getting lots of 8-pointers instead! Even better, thanks so much😁 Edit: And on page 8 at that😅

Thank you so much for your points to Greenfroze! Exciting!🤩 I'm getting lots of 5-pointers for some reason😄

Yay, you did it🥳 Pretty catchy find! Oh, it's been a while, then😮

Gothfroze has confirmed!

Greenfroze has voted!🥳 Another amazing final. Thanks so much for the discoveries🤩 One song grew on me from ZERO points in the semi to TEN points in the final, btw😮

I voted a few minutes before the deadline. Sorry I didn't use the template. Just remembered talk of one. That was tough; I wanted to vote for 20 songs! I like the amount of K-pop here. That UNIS song really reminds me of Orange Caramel, btw. Fabulous.

I'm on it and trying my best! There are too many good songs to vote for yet again :)
