Welcome to the game thread for the PCM.Daily Award nominated forum game, Daily Song Contest (or the DSC). This first post will give you a run down of the history of the contest, with a whole archive of songs from every edition.
Welcome to this all-new seasonal worldwide song contest all here on PCM.Daily! This is basically a fantasy Eurovision, but with the whole world involved, but for the very first show, the DBU (Daily Broadcasting Union) decided to bring the contest to the city of Glasgow in Scotland, and to the Hydro Arena! All competing countries will perform in the Grand Final (and possibly semis if demand is high) and all competing countries will send in their votes to determine a champion of the Daily Song Contest! So here are the details of how to get involved!

Selection Process
The Selection Process will take place now and it will end on Monday the 2nd March 2015. You will need to select a nation to participate with in this contest (you may change for the upcoming entries), as well as representing them for voting too. There will be a draw made for allocations for placings and semi-final allocations if needed. The host nation though will gain an automatic qualification to the final
