Song Festival 16 - "Life In Harmony"

Really happy about the National Finals... they're so exciting. What does everyone think of the Graphics this time? I think Finland has made some really nice decisions for the theme and motif!

We might need a bit of a push for new delegations. Would be nice to see some newer countries and maybe a few who've only competed a low number of times.

Also, France has withdrawn, so there's a country that automatically qualifies going spare if you know anyone willing to claim it!

I absolutely adore the theme for this Festival. It's nice to learn a little bit more about Finland from this. It was a deserving win. I'm excited to hear the forthcoming entries and I think it will be another good contest with high standards. Good luck .

I'm happy that Turku is hosting instead of Helsinki because Helsinki sucks would've been the obvious choice. Excited for this contest! (:

I'm excited. Although I really need a hug push on getting some new people on board. We lost a couple during the last contest and a few are waiting to see how January exams will be, so it's a huge struggle getting applications in and we might still lose some more.

Any ideas or suggestions to get new people involved? If you know any new europals guys that would be amazing! Any help is good.

I wanted to go with something different since Helsinki was already used at Eurovision. A friend of mine suggested Turku and after doing a bit of research, I knew that was the one. Plus, this is the first contest of the new year so I have to start it with a BANG!

Some big news today and I've been itching to discuss and hear some opinions!

Separation of the United Kingdom into England and Wales.

The introduction of the Community Wildcard.

Our official Twitter used by the host!

KAZAKHSTAN!!!!!!!

I'm very excited about Kazakhstan and the song that they submitted. I hope that we get some more debuts.

Romania!!!!

Group hug everyone, group hug!

We're almost at 30 participants! So exciting!

Yessssssss! Who's promoting guys??

ME! I've been messaging most of my Eurovision friends on Tumblr to join.

Keep it going! Hopefully we will get up to 30 before Christmas!

Not to boast or anything... but we have 40 participants signed up!

Ffffff I just figured out YESTERDAY that the song I was planning on sending, despite a bunch of music news sites having announced its "debut" in October, had actually sneakily gone unnoticed on an album that was released in March  Now I have a few hours left to decide on another one...

If you're struggling, just use Lithuanian ESC artists!

That's a funny joke.  

No, I have a backup I wasn't going to use for another couple of months, it just messes up the language ratio I had fantasized about cultivating so carefully.

You have a 2 month gap to plan for the next contest, you can recover the damage

How 'bout dem 2 heats eh?

Omg there are so many countries!! Wow. And the 4 heats work great I know I keep repeating this but I. Am. Excited.
