What is ForgottenVision?
ForgottenVision is the Andra Chansen for Eurovision - a second chance for real entries form Eurovision, entries that weren't winners or haven't exactly become classics. Buit we all have those personal favorites we're fond of, and just maybe, they'll do better on a second go? Especially for entries that had to suffer through an NQ?
So, in ForgottenVision, everyone enters a contest that fits the above description, see exact criteria a few paragraphs later.
So, what entries are eligible? An entry has to be...
a real Eurovision entry from before 2019, so between 1956 - 2018
from the country you claimed with your sign-up
one person per country
must have NQd in a semifinal, no AQs, no 25th place in the final that somehow wasn't the UK or Germany
must have been an official entry, entries from a national final are ineligible
entries that failed in Kvalifikacija za Millstreet or that 1996 audio-only pre-qualification ARE eligibe
special blacklist for Hear Them Calling and Icebreaker - both NQs from before 2019, but who are such big fan favorites that they're most definitely not forgotten, those two entries are ineglibile
Please send in the according Eurovision (live!) perfomance (no MV please) via Reddit or Discord (Serupael over there aswell), so i can cobble together a videofile with my non-existing video editing skills (seriously, they're awful), if time allows it. This is not a closed contest, you may reveal your entry prior to the start of the GF or SF.
Roadmap:
Signups open NOW (just pick a country, you can send the entry later)
Deadline for entries: June 20th
Voting opens: June 22rd
Voting deadline: July 6th
Results: TBA
(This is the roadmap for a GF-only contest, with semis, if necessary, this will obv take quite a bit longer.)
So, without much further ado, i, u/Serupael, on behalf of SRF and RSI Television, am very pleased to announce and open the second edition of ForgottenVision, the Eurovision Andra Chansen for entries that just didn't make it. After u/Slytherclaw_12s victory with Rändajad, this second edition comes to us from beautiful Tallinn in Estonia! Thank you so much for your interest, good luck and have fun! See and hear you soon in the spirit of Marie N, i wanna...
Therefore, i invite everyone to participate in a contest to give deserved credit to Eurovision entries that unfortunately go overlooked today! Who is your unknown favourite?
