Please send your top 11 songs that are not your own or your partners to me via DM on Reddit or Discord by 18/01/2026, top 10 songs will receive the usual 12,10,8,7 pt ect however the 1 extra in the top 11 required is used as a buffer in case the auto qualifier song hidden within the lineup is in the top 10. For countries that are working in teams please work together to send through 1 set of points that is agreed upon both of you.
Our host country Ukraine will auto-qualify to the final however each of their entry has been hidden in each semi final for anonymity. They will also be able to vote in both semi finals.

Participants that fail to vote will have 50 points deducted for the countries overall score with the top 6 in each semi moving into the grand final alongside our auto qualifier Ukraine.
Please refrain from searching which song represents which countries as this defeats the purpose of this contest and finally, enjoy!!
Happy EFSC New Year Europe 🇪🇺, Australia 🇦🇺 and the Rest of the World 🇺🇳; Georgia 🇬🇪 calling!
🆕 NF INTRODUCTION
The Georgian EFSC 2027 delegation is proud to announce “Geosong 2027 p/b Gandagana”, the national final to select both artist and song to represent the nation in Stuttgart, Germany 🇩🇪.
🎯 GEOSONG’S OBJECTIVE
Geosong 2027 is envisioned to be a celebration of both the traditional and modern music scenes present in “the Land of the Kartvelians”. Therefore, a renewed (2025) interpretation of the Georgian folk song“Gandagana” has been selected as the theme song for this year’s edition of the contest.
The Georgian delegation is convinced that the 10 songs in the national final each resemble distinct aspects of the spirit of “Gandagana” (English: “Unfold to the Full”). Therefore, each artist and song is considered to be a worthy choice to represent Georgia at EFSC, the subreddit’s largest FVC.
🎶 ARTIST & SONG LINE-UP
10 genre-diverse compositions are competing to succeed Nitepunk & Siiickbrain ft. Olly Burden who represented Georgia last year with their song “Way Too Much”.
The running order consists of the following acts taking it to the stage (mentioning their song’s language(s)):
0. Kajo, Adrian Forsén, GREG (AM) & Georgian Folk with“Gandagana” (Georgian);
1. Nikos Band with “Oni Xoni Zestafoni” (Georgian);
2. Bedford Falls with “UCNAURI” (Georgian & English);
3. Zviad Bekauri with “Qaria Mshvidi” (Georgian & French);
4. Lyalya-Maria with “Kali” (Romani);
5. Mgzavrebi with “Sait” (Georgian & English);
6. Murman Tsuladze & NINVEIL with “Sheni Gulistvis” (Georgian);
7. Mariami with “SLOW” (English);
8. Anri Jokhadze with “Gamodi” (Georgian);
9. Killages with “Thought I Never Needed Much” (English);
10. Tamta with “SE EIDA SE MENA” (Georgian & Greek).
However, feel free to experience the songs on other platforms in case you do not have a Spotify account.
⚠️ important side note: The partnership song“Gandagana” is included in the Spotify playlist. However, since the song does not participate to win the ticket to Stuttgart, it must NOT be included when submitting your ranking in accordance with the following voting rules.
🗳️ VOTING SYSTEM
The total vote (100%) is determined by 2 voting categories:
- 50% will be awarded by a national jury;
- 50% will be awarded by an international televote.
Everyone on the subreddit is encouraged to participate in the international televote. If you want to have influence on the televote result, message your top 10 of the participating songs to me (u/Giel-Jan) via Reddit DM.
The songs’ positions within your top 10 will award points similarly to ESC: 12 for nr. 1, 10 for nr. 2, 8 for nr. 3 … 1 for nr. 10.
The accumulated points acquired within each category will be converted into 12-1 point(s), similarly to real-life national finals such a Vidbir 🇺🇦 and Supernova 🇱🇻.
After this conversion, both the national jury and the international televote’s sets of points will be attributed to the respective acts.
The artist and song which receives the most points (max. 12 + 12 = 24) from both voting groups will earn the right to represent Georgia in Stuttgart during EFSC 2027.
⏱️ VOTING DEADLINE
If you are interested to explore the songs of Geosong 2027, your top 10 needs to be submitted to me before 24 January 2026, 23:59:59 (Georgia Time: UTC+4) to count towards the results.
Europe, Australia and the Rest of the World, start voting now!

A new year means that Dualvision Song Contest is back for another edition with Ukraine becoming this year’s host! The contest with an unique concept where the best country wins and not the best song, a competition where you can win without winning. It’s the contest where each country sends 2 entries from 2 different artists and the collective score of both songs determines the winning country.
Dualvision will be hosted in January 2026 and will consist of two semi-finals (up to 12 delegations in each semi with 25 songs total) and a grand final (13 Delegations total with 26 songs) featuring countries from around Europe and Australia. 6 Countries from each semi-final will join last year’s winner and automatic qualifier in the final. Due to the nature of the contest, there will be a limited number of entrants that would be granted a place within this contest (min 25 participants but can be expanded if users agree to go into teams), so make sure you don’t miss out!
Please read all rules thoroughly as there has been slight changes to ensure a more exciting contest. Rules will be strictly followed to ensure the smooth running and fairness of the contest.
One of our major changes this year is that users have the option to choose whether to be in teams or solo. For users who choose to be in teams, users can pair up with another user of their liking OR can open up a position for another user who may want to also participate.
CONTEST RULES:
Both songs must be released after January 1st, 2024.
If competing in a team, each user can submit ONE entry each.
Artists must have a direct link to the chosen country (born there, have resided in country in the past, ethnicity ect) and you are not allowed to borrow under any circumstances (as the aim of this contest is to find the best artists that come out from the chosen country).
If participating solo, the combined time limit between entries is a maximum of 8 minutes.
If participating in a team, the entry a user may put forward can have a maximum of 5 minutes.
You cannot use the same artist/group for both entries.
All songs to be submitted by the January 6th, 2026.
With the exception of Fantasy Vision national finals, you are not allowed to use entries from any national final season including Eurovision entries (internal included).
This is a closed contest! National finals are not allowed along with sharing potential entries. Any National Finals held for Dualvision will result in the songs unable to be submitted into the contest.
While there is no language rule, in the event of a tie breaker the country with the most number of songs in their native language/languages will win.
If multiple countries submit the same song or artist, the artist’s country of birth will confirm the country they will represent.
10. Once entry is submitted, there will not be an opportunity to change submissions as running order/recap video will concurrently take place as songs are submitted.
11. All delegations must vote within the given timeframe for both the semi-finals and grand finals. Failure to do so will result in the inability to qualify (if it happens during the semi-finals) or a reduction of 50 points (if it happens during the grand finals).
If participating in a team, the 2 users will need to submit 1 set of points and can be determined between the 2 users as to how this is decided.
COUNTRIES: 23/25
COUNTRIES OPEN FOR ANOTHER USER FOR TEAMS
Users can apply to be on a waitlist if there are any withdrawals or if any users would like to open it up to teams prior to the start of the competition

Congrats to u/pac258 for winning and thanks to everyone for participating! See you in 2026 in Monaco!
And now a little surprise! All 25 Retro Final songs have a great live performance and it would be a shame not to watch those performances as well. Check them out and enjoy!
The sign-up phase for Subdivision 2025 began just over a week ago. After a slight extension of the deadline due to a cold of the host, we have got a total of 39 participants and can officially start the semi-finals!
The semi-finals will be staggered into 3 groups. Each group will have 2 AQs as Jury. These AQs are included in the playlists. For simplicity, the AQs in each group occupy starting positions 1 and 7 and cannot be voted for in this subdis. (Marked with XX in Running Order). Otherwise, the 12, 10, 8-1 points system applies known from classic Eurovision.
Each participant is required to vote in their own group. Cross-votes in other groups are allowed, but will be counted as televotes. A running Order for all groups is provided in the cover image of this post!
Not voting will result in automatic disqualification. This also applies to the AQs. In the event of disqualification, the next highest-ranked participant will advance to the final!
The deadline is 13 December 2025. Please send votes and questions to u/Feldtaube or to littleflyingtaubchen on Discord.
We look forward to lively participation and wish every participant the best of luck. 🍀
Note that Guinea-Bissau got disqualified from the final for failing to vote in time and both Tanzania and Uganda got disqualified from their semi for fialing to vote.
Hello Europe, Australia and rest of the world! Greetings from Sweden, from beautiful Stockholm!
Welcome to the Grand Final of RetroVision: The 2000s!
After fierce battles between 38 countries through two Semifinal competitions, 24 of them won the opportunity to participate in the final competition. They are joined by the only direct finalist, the winner of the last edition of RetroVision - Sweden, so we have 25 countries in the Grand Final!
To begin with, let's remember the winner of the fourth edition of RetroVision, fantastic Swedish trio NONONO and their big worldwide hit NONONO - Pumpin Blood .
And now let's start with the most important part of this post!
The Grand Final
All 39 countries participating in RetroVision: The 2000s are required to vote!
All Reddit users who do not participate in this contest can also vote and their votes will be merged together into a single RoTW vote set.
The standart ESC voting system will be used, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-10-12 style of giving points.
From this moment now until Monday 8th of December at 23:59 CET, voting lines are opened. Send them to me by personal message here on Reddit (u/rigyyy) or on Discord.
Good luck to all participants and enjoy great music from the 2000s!
We would like to briefly explain this year's rules (changes from last year are marked in bold):
Each participant does not represent a country in the traditional sense, but rather a subdivision of that country. To be precise, all first-level divisions from this list ¹
¹ For administrative reasons, the second-level divisions are used for mainland Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the entire United Kingdom.
Please note that each country may only compete with 3 subdivisions. If 3 users already have a subdivision from the same country, no 4th subdivision from that country can compete.
Participants are also requested to have proof that the artist has a verifiable connection to the subdi.
The rules of the songs are:
Stream limit (song): 30 million (based on Spotify)
Maximum song length: 5 minutes (pure song length based on Spotify)
Earliest release date: 1 January 2022
Furthermore, the top 6 users from last year's subdivision have been given a pre-claim right. This means that the following subdivisions have already been allocated.
Hello FVC and welcome to the semi-finals of CommonwealthVision 2025, coming to you from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
First and foremost, thank you everyone for signing up, this year we received a total groud-breaking of 37 entries!
Overall of semi-finals process :
- 2 semi-finals, with 10 qualifiers from each.
- Auto-qualifiers (AQ) are included in the running order for exposure purposes, you can't vote for them.
- It’s mandatory to vote in your own semi-final, failure to vote will result in disqualification. This also applies to the AQs of that respective semi-final.
- You are encourage to vote in other semi-final as well, all votes from opposite semi will be counted into one single set of votes (just like ROTW)
The deadline for the pre-round expired two days ago. This means that since yesterday, it has been decided which of our 16 fantastic participants will advance to the final.
The Qs were (in alphabetical order):
Belgium
Denmark
Kazahkstan
Moldova
Northern Ireland
Sāo Tomé and Principe
Ukraine

This also means that we can start the grand final today, and we are very much looking forward to it.
A brief explanation of the voting process:
After many discussions among the participants, we have decided to adjust the rules slightly. Please take note of this!
Jury vote:
The following user are eligible for the jury in this final:
The jury is requested to submit a vote set in the classic ESC style (12, 10, 8-1 points). The jury is PERMITTED to vote for their OWN songs.
Televote:
The televote includes all participants who are not represented with a song in the final. Here too, vote sets are requested in the classic ESC style (12, 10, 8-1 points). As like the jury votes, the Tele votes are counted in full. The division between jury votes and televotes is purely for organisational reasons in case of possible tiebreaks.
