The MafiaScum Song Contest is a monthly (give or take) competition modeled after the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It's a means to gain exposure to new music through the tastes of your peers, like it or not. Those that enter must also vote for the people they are running against based on how much they like the songs. Everyone picks an alias in the form of a country (any one of your choosing) and sends in a song that they like in order to expose it to the other contestants. After voting, they are tallied in the thread and a winner is named. No matter who wins, everyone wins by gaining new knowledge of songs, artists, albums and genres of music in the process!
The Battle of the Best is a special contest, pitting previously entered artists ONLY against each other to see which artist comes out on top! Artists qualify for this contest by getting top 3 in a previous contest. You may not enter any artist that has not gotten top 3 in a past contest. Additionally, if an artist has gotten top 3 in a previous Battle of the Best, they are not eligible.
Please keep this in mind when submitting artists for Battle of the Best:
1. Reserved Countries ARE carried over from Song Contest 110.
2. Those that have been banned from Song Contest 111 for not voting in Song Contest 110 are NOT banned from this contest.
3. You may enter an artist that another entrant first submitted, but entrants have priority to an artist they have previously submitted, regardless of time submitted.
4. All voting is done the same way as all previous contests.
5. New entrants will not be permitted - you must have entered the Song Contest at least once in the past to enter this one.
6. There will be no cuts. All entries will be eligible for consideration. You must still vote for your top 10, and you will still receive a 20 point penalty for not voting if you enter.
1. Find a song that you like on any internet medium that isn't restricted or private.
2. Submit it via the form linked above!
3. Wait until I reveal the entries.
4. Once entries are revealed, you will rank your top 10 countries! You will do this via a Google Form link to be provided later. The point values are as follows:
Please rate fairly by giving all countries a listen. 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, they will get a 20 point penalty and be banned from entering in the next contest, so please consider that before entering.12 points - 1st
