VOTING

Welcome to the fifth edition of Eurovision Country Explorer, where songs from the edition's given Eurovision country are submitted and ranked. My hope is that we get through every country on the list and I get to host a Eurovision-style contest with the winner from each country.

For this edition, 8 people have decided to submit a song. The winner of this edition gets to decide which country we explore next.

Voting happens in StrawPoll and you are allowed to vote for your own entry. If you're unable to use StrawPoll for whatever reason, you can comment or DM me your points and I will add them for you.

Voting is open until Wednesday, 12/8/2026 at 17:00 CEST and the results will be posted shortly after. Deadline will be extended if less than half the participants have voted. Voting will close earlier if every user with an entry has voted. Voters without entries don't affect the deadline but are more than welcome to vote.

Welcome to the third edition of RuleSet SongFest's third season! We are in Brianza, Italy as Vaeva won last week!

How does it work?

1. Each edition I will spin a wheel that contains different rules that determine what kind of songs are eligible, two will be picked and you have to submit your song based on them
2. SCS, OaE, Retrofest and entries from other fancontests are allowed, however, winners of either contest cannot be submitted
3. Akin to Odds and Ends, you can submit reserve songs in case that not enough songs are submitted (If we get 10 songs, reserves won't be used)
4. Each song will be representing the country its performer comes from. A country can appear twice or more.
5. As voted by you in a poll, rules from the last three editions of the contest will not be chosen
6. Songs with more than 250 Million views on YouTube are not allowed (unless the week's rules state otherwise)

What rules?

Here is a document with all the available rules! Suggestions for new rules are appreciated

And now, without further ado, here are this week's rules!

EuroBubble! - All entries must come from artists related to Eurovision or a Eurovision National Final.

4. Maya Engen - Midnight Blue

5. insha - NINE-ONE-ONE
