Contest songs and the information to be provided
In the contest you need to perform two contestable songs. What exactly is meant by ‘contestable’ you can read in the earlier mentioned contest rules. Also make sure that your songs are properly legalized for your chorus or quartet. Failure to proof proper legalization will lead to disqualification.
Deadline for submission of contest songs
Deadline for submission of the two contest songs is 24 February 2019. You can find a special form to submit here.
Required information
On the form you need to fill out: song titles, arrangers, way of legalization, whether it is a ballad or an uptune, desired background color per song and the order of appearance of the songs.
The order of appearance of the songs is important for the film crew. The performance of a ballad is most of the time more justified in close up views, while an uptune is better captured in a picture of the total group.
In 2019 it will be the first time for us to work with a background that can be altered in color. Contestants are able to pick the desired colors and layout, preferably chosen to intensify the feeling appropriate to the song. One setting can be chosen per song, no changes during the song. The order of appearance is important to program the light plan in advance. More info on the colors of the background, click here.
Use of props a.s.o.
On stage you are free to use all kinds of props, with the exception of sound amplifying parts of course. Only one rule applies, please leave the stage in the same good condition as it was when you got on stage.
Any other specialties we need to know? Please indicate them as clearly as possible on the form. Any doubts or questions, just mail !

Scouts
A scout will help you as a group by taking care of all the things that need to be taken care of during the weekend with respect to getting the right information and managing the chorus or quartet throughout the weekend in a relaxed way. Make sure you get your scout a visitors pass (passe-partout (€ 90,-)), so he/she can go anywhere necessary.
Our show guests will get their personal host/hostess assigned per chorus/quartet for these issues.
