Special Requirements
|
|||
Any special requirements (video, specialist mp3s) must be requested in good time,
and provisions must be discussed fully with the organizer.
|
|||
Mp3s will be time limited, and restricted to Eurovision music only. |
|||
I will make my best effort to secure live/langauge/album versions of mp3s as requested.
|
|||
Videos must not be uploaded by anyone other than the ALC producer, for anonymity reasons.
|
|||
If you would like the producer to check English spelling then just ask!
|
|||
What Else We Need

|||
A pictorial representation (ideally, a photo of you, the writer) for the revelation shows
|
|||
Information if you are unavailable for any period June 23rd - July 31st |
|||
Designation of which entry will be in the final for direct finalists
|
|||
The Draw
|
|||
Entries will be placed in their semis and running order via a draw
|
|||
Songs with more than one AL based on them will be kept apart where possible in the semis |
|||
Special placement requests depending on availability will be accommodated as much as possible.
|
|||
ALs by the same writer will be kept apart where possible
|
|||
Entries on a similar theme but with no song / writer relations will NOT be kept apart deliberately.
|
|||
The End of Submission
|
|||
After the submission period ends, each writer will receive an email, confirming
the html presentation of their entry/ies
|
|||
Once you have entered an entry and the deadline has passed, THAT IS IT,
and all content rights to your entry/entries remain with the ALC organiser.
Whatever your reasons, withdrawing is not allowed.
By all means disqualify yourself by failing to vote,
but your entry will remain on the ALC site forever regardless.

|||
Contact
|
|||
If you need to contact the organisers for any reason, always use alternativelyricscontest@gmail.com
|
|||
This includes if you want a message on the MB deleting if you consider it ruins your ALC anonymity.
Reporting this in the usual way on the MB will only alert all moderators
(many of whom are also participants) as to who you are, so please contact me directly!
