Chummervision Song Contest Winter 2013

The Chummervision Song Contest Winter 2013 is the 3rd edition of the bi-annual song contest for countries of Chummerope. It was hosted in Senverth, Nermece following Elly Mayer's win for the country the previous summer.

Tillege won the contest in their first year, with the song "To You" performed by Young Wonder. It received 177 points in the final.

Venue


The bidding for the host venue of the contest took place on October 21st 2012. The winner was selected out of a final 2 (The Busking 20 Arena, and the Senverth Music and Performing Arts Centre). Busking 20 was the selected venue, winning with a 58-42 majority.

Five venues had originally been shortlisted. On October 17th, 3 venues were revealed to be out of the running after losing the bids. These were Fallow Stadium, Reverbege Arena, and Telesé Media Hall.

Telesé Media Hall came 5th in the bidding, the reason stated by officials primarily being "If we were solely hosting a press conference for future plans for Chummervision, this would be a perfect choice. In retrospect, it's just a media hall. The amount of spectators we'll have the contest aren't going to want to fight over 16,000 seats in a cramped hall. Nice idea, but no. Just no."

In 4th place was Fallow Stadium, the officials stated the reason for this was "We're not hosting a bloody football match. Fallow Stadium is a venue for Fallowbirds F.C., not for continental song competitions. It was a stupid decision putting this into the running. The amount of conversion needed just wouldn't be plausible for the Nermic budget."

Falling short of the final 2 was Reverbege Arena. Reasons stated were "Well I thought it was a lovely venue, and it could've been perfect especially considering the location. But it just wasn't to be. 2nd and 3rd place were too close and, unfortunately, The Reverbege was the one to fall."

Voting Order

Sveesveer qualifying over Chelsey
During the first semi-final that took place on 13th February, the results compiled to list the qualifying countries followed the same method as the previous year in which they were automatically generated via a computer, as to not spoil the results beforehand. In the scenario of a tie situation between 8th & 9th place, no solution at the time was viable for computer generated results. Therefore whichever country was ordered in 8th would automatically disregard the official tiebreak solution usually used in the finals for Chummervision songs.

After the results were published after the final, it was revealed both Chelsey and Sveesveer received the same amount of points in the semi-final. Both countries had the same number of voters, therefore the country with more 12, 10, 8 etc. points would be the one placed higher; this turned out to be Chelsey with 1 more 12 points than Sveesveer (which had none), therefore meaning Chelsey technically qualified for the final, despite not being revealed as such. As a result CBU delegates agreed upon a working solution for a tiebreak if that situation ever occurred in the future.

Final overruning
Due to Nermic budget cuts the final was forcibly pre-recorded for most of Chummerpean viewers, something that had never occurred in the past. The show was broadcast on the night of February 18th instead of 17th as originally scheduled. The show however still ran as normal and received its highest viewing figure to date.

Gaer receiving nil points
For the first time ever in Chummervision a country received the infamous nil points. Gaer, who performed first in the first semi-final, did not pick up a single point from any of the other voting countries. Gaer has been consistently widely viewed as a public hate figure by Chummerpean countries, due to their excessive and progressive homosexual culture, endorsement and tendencies.
