hey its me im here we're doing this again. i have a headache but we're going to ignore that please allow my brain to leak out of my ears in peace thank u


haha yeah im not going back on this one. okay lets start with rules not that you dont already know those i assume but yknow lets be careful about this stuff

[+] da rulez

- submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you

- songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

- listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.

- if your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.

- the top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.

- repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

- winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

general song rules:
- no eurovision songs
- no reality show/competition covers
- no songs already submitted in a songtest
- there is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!

each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- if you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.

okay now that thats out of way the theme: put in simple terms, submit a song that you feel reflects your personal vibe. not just a song you like but a song you feel reflects you. this can be re: your current mood or your general aesthetic or whatever you want, this is purposefully pretty broad and im not gonna deny anything since its a personal theme. to put it another way, submit a song that makes you go "wow same. mood" when u listen to it. if that means nothing to you refer to theme definition 1

also im gonna be accepting Explanations for this songtest! if you wanna give a quick lil writeup of the Vibe that resonates for you re: this song, i'll include that with your submission. this is optional but like Encouraged yknow

songtest signups will run until uhhhhhhhh im gonna say saturday sometime. whenever. yknow? yknow. bold = hasnt submitted yet. anyone who doesnt submit before round 1 starts will be shuffled into round 2 but like please dont do that to me if u dont have to lmao
