Chummervision Song Contest Summer 2014

The Chummervision Song Contest Summer 2014 is the 6th edition of the bi-annual song contest for countries of Chummerope. It will be hosted in the Harbingean Provinces following Eliane's win for the country the previous winter.

Chumsferder won the contest with "Silver Bullet" by Emerentia. It marked the biggest victory since the contest began with 269 points, 90 points ahead of the runner-up. It was also Chumsferder's first win and first ever top 5 placing.

Venue
The bidding for the venue took place from April 2014 to May 2014. Each province was allowed to submit one venue each, with 9 provinces putting a bid forward. The top 4 were announced in late April, consisting of the Colours Arena, Hubert Hall, Hyphenation Arena, and Undergroundstadium.

The winning bid was revealed on May 3 2014. The Hyphenation Arena in Bexhill was selected to host the contest winning with a vote of 53-47 against the Hubert Hall.


 * 1.Bid was not approved by Harb TV and the CBU due to incredibly small capacity.

Deadlines
In addition to these deadlines, the age limit of which a song submitted can be eligible to take part is approximately 14 months prior to the date of the final, the date of which for this contest is June 1 2013. Songs publicly released before this date will not be eligible to take part and can result in disqualification of the song and potentially the country in question.

Semi-final allocation draw
The draw that will determine the semi-final allocation will be held in June 2014 at the CBU conference centre in Bexhill. Prior to the allocation draw, on 5 June 2014 Bushashug chose to perform in the second-semi final. The participating countries, excluding the automatic finalists (Aitze, Dandenia, Harbingean Provinces, UOCT Republic and W'ree), were split into 6 pots in total, 3 Western pots and 3 Eastern pots, based on voting patterns from previous contests and geographic location. From these pots, 16/17 will be allocated to compete in the first semi-final on 27 August 2014 and 16/17 will be allocated to compete in the second semi-final on 29 August 2014.

The pots were calculated by the televoting partner HyphenationTec and were as follows:

Semi-Final 1
The first semi-final took place on 27 August. Aitze, Harbingean Provinces and W'ree voted in this semi-final.

Semi-Final 2
The second semi-final took place on 29 August. Dandenia and UOCT Republic voted in this semi-final.
