Welcome, one and all, to this, the fabulous sixty-second MafiaScum Song Contest!
List of Previously Entered Songs
How to Participate in the Song Contest:
1. Find a song that you like on any internet medium that isn't restricted or private.
2. Fill out the following application and send it to the Song Contest account:
APPLICATION
1. Country (this is ONLY an alias for anonymity; your entry can have nothing to do with the country that you pick. The reserved countries can be requested, but the original submitter has priority to them. Privately ask if you have a country preference)
2. Name of Artist
3. Name of Song
4. Representative Picture of Artist (absolutely NO animations allowed; I resize it to 400x400 regardless of dimension, so aim for that resolution if you don't want your picture to look like ass. Only JPG, PNG and non-animated GIFs allowed)
5. Media (most people use youtube, but nothing is explicitly forbidden unless it is not accessible by everyone)
Please note that if there is a misspelling, I will try my best to fix it, but no promises. If you send this application to any account but the Song Contest account, it will be disregarded.
3. Wait until I reveal the entries. You may or may not be cut depending (as stated at the end of this post).
4. Once entries are revealed, PM the Song Contest once again in the following format by rating countries:
12 - Country A
10 - Country B
8 - Country C
7 - Country D
6 - Country E
5 - Country F
4 - Country G
3 - Country H
2 - Country I
1 - Country J
Countries that you like should get higher points. Please rate fairly by giving all countries a listen. Only country names, not artist or song names, should be submitted. You may not vote for yourself. Everyone, regardless of entry or cut status, may vote, so you can still participate even if you chose not to enter or if you got cut! However, if those that entered and are accepted do not vote, two things will happen: They will get a 20 point penalty and be banned from entering in the next contest, so please consider that before entering.
5. Wait for results. It's that simple!
