Hello everyone and welcome to my new contest creation - Eurovision 2026 Redone.

This concept may be a little confusing, so I will try and explain it as best as I can. Hopefully the formatting doesn’t mess up either.

How this works:

- We pick new songs and artists for each country that participated this year (excluding Israel)

- NF countries: We will pick a NON WINNING song from each National Final

- Non-NF countries: We will accept songs from that country and put them into our own National Final

- The winner of each selection will then progress through into the Contest, and once we have all countries’ songs we will start our redone version of Eurovision 2026, where we will have two semi finals and the Grand Final

- There will still be automatic qualifier countries

- This is NOT a user based competition. No songs will be assigned to individual users.

Today’s countries we will be selecting entries for are Albania and Armenia.

ALBANIA:

- Select any song from FiK with the exception of Nân

- Most upvoted comment will go through

ARMENIA:

- Select any song originating from Armenia that follows the rules

- All songs selected for this country will go into a National Final

- The National Final will happen around 24h from now

SONG SELECTION RULES FOR NON-NF COUNTRIES:

- Songs must have less than 15 Million views on YouTube

- Artists must have a strong connection to the country

- Past Eurovision representatives are not allowed.

- No language rules, although native languages are preferred

If you have any more questions please ask! Happy selecting :)

Next set of countries to have their selections after these two: Australia / Austria

Yesterday we have received 7 votes in the elimination round where people voted for their least favourite songs instead of their favourites. This means the 10 songs with the least amount of points qualify, and the 6 with the highest amount sadly will not make it to the final. Today we will take a different approach to announcing the qualifiers. We will do it in the SCS way. In a random order I will reveal the qualifiers. I will not tell you their point amounts, because it will make the final too predictable. The order is completely randomized. Ready? Here we go. 10 SCS songs make it to the final which will be uploaded tomorrow.

The first song to qualify is >!People Watching by Sam Fender!<!!

The second song making it to the final tomorrow is >!Krip by Go-A!<!

Joining those two we also have >!Paramore's Misery Business!< and >!Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day!!<

4 songs through, 6 more spots. The next song to claim a ticket to the final is >!A Last Sigh Of Bliss by Blackbriar!<, followed by >!Beth McCarthy with How Am I Supposed To Love Myself? !<!

>!Kautkaili!< will be joining them with the song >!Ļauj man!<.

And >!J'veux que taies mal by Lenaïg!< takes one spot too.

Two spots left. One goes to >!Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In! by Will Wood and the Tapeworms!<.

Seven songs now remain. Only one can still qualify. The songs remaining are >!Winnetou by Abor & Tynna, Durch die Nacht by Zoë Më, Adata un Diegs by Gustavo and Sudden Lights, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, Walpurgisnacht by FAUN, Mikayla Geier with piano in the sky and Bird Song by Noah Floersch ft. Em Beihold!<. One qualifies, six doesn't. And the one that qualifies is...

>!Adata un Diegs! !<

These 10 songs will be back tomorrow evening for the final, the other 6 stay behind. See y'all tomorrow!

On Sunday, the weekly Song Contest "Song Contest Sunday" will begin and you will have the chance to participate in it! Simply leave a song you like, it doesn't have to be from Eurovision, in the comments and we will add it to the lineup of Song Contest Sunday! You will be mentioned in said post so you can vote in it. This is a great opportunity to discover new songs, share songs you like, or see how much your music taste is liked!

If you can, you can also provide the following things alongside your song:

• Link to the song
• Share the best part of the song as a recap (ideally with timestamps, 30 seconds long)

And if this edition of Song Contest Sunday has semifinals, the new entry of SCS 41's winner u/Mmeow777 will qualify automatically to the final

Have fun sharing songs! 😃

Rules

Rule 1: No ESC Winners
Songs that won Eurovision since 1956 cannot be submitted.

Rule 2: No past SCS-entries

Songs that have already participated in SCS in the past are not allowed in the contest. Check out the SCS Wiki Page and a YouTube Playlist, which includes all the songs that have participated in SCS.

Rule 3: English Songs (Non-Bubble Artists Only)

For English songs by artists outside the Eurovision Bubble (See FAQ):

• Over 10M YouTube subscribers? Song must have <10M views (top version).
• Over 7M subscribers? Song must have <50M views.
• Over 5M subscribers? Song must have <100M views.

Rule 4: Recent ESC and National Final songs

Songs that

• Participated in the Eurovision Song Contest from 2021 onwards
• Participated in a National Final for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 and 2026

are not allowed on the contest, as the majority of present users might know them already, defeating the contest's purpose of sending and discovering new music

FAQ

Can I submit songs by Eurovision artists?

Yes! We love new releases and hidden gems from Bubble artists. We discourage submitting their Eurovision song, but if the song didn’t win Eurovision then technically it’s allowed.

What is a ‘Bubble artist’?

Any Artist/Band who has competed in Eurovision or any National Selection. Aside from Rule 1, no other restrictions apply to their songs, even if the song is in English.

Why do the restrictions only apply to songs in English?

English hits are well-known in the countries most Eurovision Fans come from. Non-English songs rarely go global, so no limits.

What if the song I want to submit is only partly in English, do the restrictions still apply?

Bi-lingual/Multi-Lingual songs with English parts are not restricted as long as most of the song is not in English.

Some additional important information:

If you share multiple songs, please select only one of them to compete in Song Contest Sunday.

Covers of previously sent songs are allowed, if they are able to be looked up seperately on YouTube/Spotify etc., alongside the original song. If this is the case, the cover is allowed. Covers of Eurovision winners are forbidden.

If you share an alternative version (such as an english or live version) alongside your song, said performance will also be linked in the Song Contest Sunday post tomorrow.

Songs that are shared after the 22nd of March 00:00 CET will not be considered for SCS! Please share your songs before that point!

If you decide to participate, please note the following schedule if you'd like to follow the contest! You will also be mentioned in the post if you submit an entry, but we are not quite sure how mentioning works yet, so don't rely on it!
