Välkommen Till Stockholm, And To The Third Edition Of The Daily Song Contest
Welcome to the third edition of the Daily Song Contest, coming to you from Sweden! After Måns Zelmerlöw's victory in Reykjavik, we meet at yet another Nordic nation, and this time we travel to Sweden. This year the contest has been brought to Stockholm, Sweden's capital. Here are more details for you all.
The incredible Friends Arena, our venue for this season's contest.
Selection Process
The Selection Process will take place from now until the closing date on Thursday 27th August 2015 so you now have over a week to send in your nation's finest musical number. After the closing date, depending on numbers, a draw will be allocated to determine in which half your delegation will perform in, and soon after the exact placing in the running order in the Grand Final and potentially in a semi-final. Returning delegations and players will have priority but all are welcome to join the contest. You can always change nation from any previous participations in, but we encourage loyalty to your chosen nation. In the event of semi-finals being needed, the top 10 players from the last contest will receive automatic qualification to the Grand Final.
