RETCONNED:

Date of songfestival competition to be held over the 4th and 5th of February.

I sincerely apologise for my absence when I should have been writing for this, it’s been a very busy two weeks for me and I have hardly managed to write my news broadcasts. I hope everyone understands. I hope to be ready for Saturday morning GMT+0 00:01AM.

12 points for your first place vote,
10 points for your second place vote,
8 points for your third place vote,
7 for your fourth place vote,
6 for your fifth place vote and so on until only 1 point is awarded.
You can only vote for 10 out of the 14 countries attending, so some countries may fall behind on points whilst others don’t!
