No problem GE.
Thanks IH! And whatever abbreviation is fine, I think JB is the most common.
III. How does judging work? Judging occurs from September 23rd - September 28th. Once the submission phase is over, contestants and the judging team (made up of all regional reps of the FRA Regional Assembly) will vote on their preferred songs. Judges will rate their top 5 songs in order of preference (awarding their favourite 12 (douze) points, then 10 (dix) points, 8 (huit) points and so forth). This will be done by judges posting their votes in a designated thread I will open. IV. When is the awards ceremony? What are the prizes? On September 29th, the Awards Ceremony will commence. The following awards are given:
First Place Entry - Whole Note Award (Gold)
Second Place Entry - Half Note Award (Silver)
Third Place Entry - Quarter Note Award (Bronze)
Last Place Entry - Engelbert Humperdink Award
The following awards are given, and all winners will earn the right to a neat award image that he/she can don in his/her signatures. The first place contestant's region is also given the privilege of hosting the FRAVision Song Contest on their forum the next year, on the condition that they have the infrastructure and activity necessary to organize it at that time. Happy Composing! You may contact the hosts with any further questions about the Contest. Yours truly, Joe Bobs, Arch-Chancellor of the FRA Host of FRAVision 2014 Wopruthien, Host of FRAVision 2014 Milograd, Former Arch-Chancellor of the FRA
