Everyone has arrived. Melodies fill the air, as people prepare. Oh look a rhyme, how fine.

37 Tales are ready to be spun. 37 melodies will be woven.
But they will not all be woven together, no they will not.

A Line divides the 37 in twain, for they shall be divided to grow stronger.

Very well then, lets proceed.

May the Contest Begin

Inspired by the Eurovision Song Contest, The North Pacific Vision is a popular music festival that takes place in NationStates, in The North Pacific region. This contest gets its participants to show off their musical tastes and favourite songs and listen to each other's music in a vibrant and competitive way.

Each nation chooses a song, sends it to the host, who analyses whether it follows all the rules. After all the songs have been submitted and the deadline for submissions has passed, the songs will be evaluated by the participants themselves, who will vote for the songs they like more. The nations that score the most points will participate in the final round and the nation that wins the edition will have the chance to host the next edition of TNPV! As well as being allowed to proudly and happily declare that they won the edition, of course.

Please check the official TNPV website, where all the important information is available, such as the FAQ, Used Songs List, history of TNPV, list of winning songs, winning nations and much more!
