The 2020 TSC Season will be almost over with TSC 422 being the last edition of the year before we will be going on our winter break and returning in the new year.
This theme is revisiting ALL OF THIS YEAR'S PREVIOUS THEMES! This is your chance to send a song you wished you had sent in one of these themes since it could be your only chance since most themes don’t repeat the next year.
Your submission must fit AT LEAST ONE of the following criteria, inspired by all the themes hosted this year:
1. Names: your submission contains a person's name in the song title. charting rule and year rule does NOT apply for this criteria.
2. New artists: you submit an artist that has never been entered to the contest.
3. Soundtracks: you submit a song specifically made for either a movie or TV soundtrack. charting rule and year rule does NOT apply for this criteria.
4. Eurovision: you submit a previously unused song released between 2004 and 2019 that competed at the Eurovision Song Contest.
5. Bibbles: you submit a male rock song, male indie song, or a male K-pop song
6. Error 404: you submit a song that breaks ONE regular contest rule.
7. <25k views: your submission has less than 25,000 views on YouTube.
8. Africa: you submit an artist that is born in or has a strong link to an African country.
9. Second chances: you submit a song that has previously failed to place in the top 10.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The regular charting rules and year rules apply for ALL criteria EXCEPT #1 and #3.
REGULAR RULES APPLY IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING A SONG THAT FITS ANY OTHER CRITERIA EXCEPT #6.
