Yeah, he never missed a TISC as far as I remember 
 
In addition also  is missing

Were you the one who thinks every Olympics will be cancelled all the time, or am I confused with someone else?  

I heard the mayor is on the phone right now trying to get it cancelled.

so two new nations;  and  did enough in Dubai to earn quotas. 

One more country and we will have 30 nations competing 

One more country and we will have 30 nations competing 

is, as always in, with already selected song 

Ok so I have given it some thought this week and I am willing to try to organise a contest. It is getting quite late in the year so the Grand Final might have to wait until after Christmas and New Year but let’s see how things go.
 
I will probably make it a more stripped down version to make it more manageable to organise but I think having the contest at all is more important.
 
Also I think I’d rather make this the Annual edition since we did not have an Annual contest this year and I think it would be nice to keep that tradition alive. The Open Contest allows us to pick songs from almost any period so there will always be a chance to showcase those songs any year. But for Annuals, it has to be songs released in the last 12 months and those songs haven’t had a contest since the 2024 Annual so I think it’s better to host the 2025 Annual now and then figure out where things go from there.

I just send an mail to OlympicIRL yesterday about TISC and he told me that recently his motovation was very low to organize anything as seems that idea of TISC was by most people abandoned by low interest. So, I understand him as organizing such event is very time consuming and difficult (especially when you decided to have an opening ceremony) if you are doing everything alone. But Im still hoping that somebody will take it. Time will tell.

Oh! I have been missing those words. 

Oh! I have been missing those words. 

by the way, what a championship for Zwolinska 
 

Only if they will be fully fit and the best at that time

I think the hosting burden can be trimmed a lot. As much as people like to have some type of opening and closing ceremonies, with facts about the countries, it's extra, extra work for the organizer. We, as worldwide sporting fans likely already know most of the facts about the host country, so it's not that necessary for having the contest. People will be much more inclined to host, if it's just calculating the results and preparing only the general tables of the Grand finale. 
 
I don't think people have issues with the listening of the songs, after all there is usually a month or more for submitting the votes, so there is enough time. If people listen to 3 songs every day, that's just 12 minutes.

I guess it will be (as usually) also one of first direct qualification events to LA?
