TiBB Music Festival: Pittsburgh 01
20 & 24 August 2019

It is time to let the competition begin again! I, with Shaun's knowledge AND Riley's (Wizard) lovely ideas, decided to create a spiritual successor to TiBB Eurovision. Cut to now, and welcome to the TiBB Music Festival! What songs will be heard? Where are the constant translations into French? When will the madness end? No idea.

FORMAT

The format of the TiBB Music Festival will remain similar to TiBB Eurovision, however, there are some changes. For the first time, I will have a Spotify playlist of all of the songs for you to listen to the songs during the 4 day voting period. For the voting, there will also be 2 sets of points (just like TiBB Eurovision), however, everyone will be sending 2 sets of 1-8, 10, and 12 points (one for jury voting, one for televoting).

RULES

- If you want to take part, reply to this thread with the country you want! But please, if you do reserve a country, I expect an entry.
- In a change from TiBB Eurovision, participants can now choose a song that is already in the public database (look on Spotify or YouTube, there are plenty of songs on either one).
- Lyrics, an artist name, song title AND music video are all that's required.
- Members may only represent one country.
- Entries must be submitted to me as soon as possible. The event itself will take place on a Tuesday evening and the results will follow on a Saturday of the same week.
- And for the first time since Globalvision, countries that are not in Europe or Australia will be able to participate.

You have as much time as you need to find your entries. Please find songs that we all may enjoy, and please don't feel afraid to take part The more entries, the more fun it is to run. Songs can be about anything you like, and whilst we are fairly liberal with what is deemed "in good taste" obviously a song containing 30 different death threats may well find itself lost in my inbox and doomed never to enter.

The winner of this glorious festivity shall also receive a supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics this lovely little award (which has been potentially lost in the TiBB Admin towers)! - so if that isn't motivation to bring your A-game, I don't know what is.

Before this thread was posted, I selected 5 different songs and 5 different countries from a personal shortlist of 26 songs. These countries will be listed below, and all of the countries mentioned below will be free game (sans Denmark, because some things never change with me).
