I have scheduled the voting order draw for later today. I will be using a random generator to auto-generate the results. If anyone is interested, I have posted a ticket of the scheduled draw. There is no result available yet but will appear once the draw has passed the scheduled time.

Voted  Thank you for extending the deadline and allowing me to vote once my exams are over. @OlympicIRL

Yay for no disqualifications! Thanks @OlympicIRL for all the work! Getting close. 

has just delivered their votes which means that all nations have now voted and we have no disqualifications this year  
 
The voting window will officially end tomorrow (Friday) at midnight GMT after which I will post details about the voting order draw. It’s likely going to be a random draw from a random generator site to save time in this busy period. I will schedule the draw and post a ticket so users can view the result after the scheduled time. More to come on that on Saturday.
 
Thanks again to all participants  

We are waiting on just  and  to vote now. @Glen @Illya
 
Glen has been in touch to say he needs another 24 hours to get his votes in which is fine!
 
I am hoping to receive all votes by this Friday at the latest as I need to start my preparations for the voting templates.

Unfortunately, I am very busy with my university exams, which end on 18 December. Before that date, I will not be able to vote, I'm afraid it will be a withdrawal for me

Well, I made a playlist on Deezer. I think you can import it to Spotify or YouTube Music if you don't have that app.

Good luck! Time to listen to each song.

Best of luck to everyone, a lot of great entries!

I am pleased to announce that the host nation has submitted their votes. This means voting is now OPEN to all jury members
 
For any new jury members, just sending a reminder on how this process works. Once you have listened to all songs and are happy that you know which 12 songs you want to vote for, send those votes by PRIVATE MESSAGE to the organiser, @OlympicIRL.
 
All votes are kept secret until the Grand Final, so please don't indicate in chat who you voted for to keep the surprise element intact on the Grand Final. On many occasions the final vote has crowned the winner so that's why it's important to keep the suspense alive . Additionally, as well as voting for your 12 favourite entries and awarding points from 1 to 12, please submit a 1st, 2nd and 3rd reserve in case some nations withdraw. Please indicate the priority of your reserves also.
 
I have included a voting template below which you can utilize to send your votes, if you so wish
 
 
Jury members you have until 21:00 GMT on Friday, December 5th to submit your votes by private message, so plenty of time to get listening to those entries .

Reminder to all: there are 11 days left to submit your song for the 2025 TISC Annual. Entries close at 21:00 GMT on Thursday, 20th November.
So far 4 nations have submitted their song entries.
 
At the moment we have 31 nations represented. Hopefully we can get at least one more to surpass TISC Annual 2015 as the TISC with the fewest number of nations participating (31).
 
We have 39 jury members registered. We have 6 multi-member juries as it stands with Italy leading the way as usual with 4 jury members.

I'll be joining again!

Would love to see as many of you as possible take part in our contest this year. We are now accepting entries

I'm pleased to welcome entries for the 2025 TISC Annual
 
Songs from January 1st, 2024 - June 30th 2025 are eligible for this contest.
 
I haven't decided on a date for the Grand Final yet, likely it will be after the New Year but will leave that undecided for now to see how things go.
Feel free to tag the usual participants or anyone new, hopefully we will get enough interest!

It's already been a year since I went to my second Olympic Games (third if we count the 2018 Youth Games). 
Magical days in a truly beautiful city (as were Rio and Buenos Aires). Some few Games-related pictures below:
 

Scores from the compulsory dives in the prelim (round 1 and 3) are carried to the final and added to the scores from round 5 and 6.
 
Scores from round 2 and 4 count for qualification purposes, but are then discarded.
