Attention everyone, this upcoming MD is going to be a little different than previous years as we're gonna be testing out something new. 10 rounds a year is a lot for both editors and judges. We have been listening and understand the burnout that comes with editing a round a month and that it is not always possible to deliver the quality you want in a limited time frame. On the other side coming up with 10 rounds for every theme isn't always the easiest. Sometimes there aren't enough great round ideas and you can end up writing a round you don't really like just to make sure you fill out the season. So for this season we'll be doing 5 longer rounds (plus the bonus round) instead of the 10 shorter ones. We think it will work best with the theme and the ideas that we have and make the season the best it can be for everyone.
This won't be happening for every season, there are some seasons that we might want more rounds for or ones that we want to have higher detail rounds for it all depends on the theme and we don't want to restrict ourselves to a specific number every year. It will be announced before the start of every season how many rounds that there will be in that season so that you know what you'll be in for going into the auditions. Audition deadlines will also be extended to 2 weeks from this point on.
In addition depending on the amount of rounds the amount of contestants will be adjusted to match. 16 contestants is a lot to have with 5 rounds so this year the amount of contestants that will be accepted is 12. This will also be announced before the auditions every year depending on the amount of rounds and the themes chosen in the future.
We want to make Mx Disney the best that we can so we hope everyone understands these rule changes and why they have been implemented. We hope everyone will have a super fun time next year and the years to come. <3
