This is Italy's sixth win! jio had the delightful idea to host in Palermo, but they already won the bid for the 99th FSC, so we traverse to Turin instead. Turin is no stranger to international competition, having hosted the Winter Olympics back in 2006.
There is plenty to do in Turin and it ranks up there as one of Italy's more popular places to visit - part of the appeal may be from those who make a pilgrimage to see the Shroud of Turin, a sheet which supposedly covered Jesus. Is it real? Is it fake? Who knows, but it is world famous. There's also the royal residences of Savoy, which are now World Heritage sites.
Is neither of those is your thing, you can always stop at a cafe and grab an espresso with gianduiotto, a Turin chocolate-hazelnut specialty. Just don't give yourself such a chocolate coma, you forget to vote!
RULES
01. This is a monthly contest, modeled after Eurovision. You need to have at least 10 posts to your credit to take part.
02. You can pick any country in the world.
03. The artist you choose has either to be a citizen of the country they'll represent or to have been born there. At least HALF of the people from your act must be from the country you choose.
04. Your song must be 10 years old at the most. For 2020, eligible entries must have been released after December 31st, 2009.
05. Eurovision entries are not allowed. Songs from concurrent Eurovision heats are not allowed either.
06. The song cannot have been a UK/US Top 40 hit, as it would give it an unfair advantage.
07. The song can be a remix.
08. The song cannot be a cover version.
09. If your song features a sample, please state it early enough, so the other contestants can decide whether it is acceptable or not by poll.
10. You cannot vote for your own country.
11. Discussion about one's favourites during the contest is NOT ALLOWED, as it has the potential to influence the voting.
12. PLEASE try and choose a song not everyone would know, the point is to discover new artists.
13. If a song becomes or is found to be ineligible at any time before the voting is over, it will be disqualified.
14. Make sure you understand all the rules before you take part. You will need to devote about 2 hours of your time to this game to listen to all the entries at least once. Do a little research on your entry before you present it, be sure that it doesn't violate any rules, and check here to see if it has taken part before.
