Congratulations to all 37 Heads of Delegation for delivering another strong edition of the Tmblrvision Song Contest! We hope to see you again next year in Wales!
Many thanks to @escape-radio for the spokesperson postcards and @strawbanya for the recap!
That was the Tmblrvision 2022 Live Song Reveal Show!
Those were all 37 entries of the 2022 edition of the Tmblrvision Song Contest! If you'd like to relive the whole show and see all the postcards (created for us by @escape-radio), then you can rewatch the show using this link!
Here's a look once again at all 37 artists!
Now it's time to vote!
Jury Vote
Each Head of Delegation must vote for their ten favorite songs. Scores will be assigned Eurovision-style to each song, with 12 points to the top favorite all the way to 1 point to the 10th favorite. Two alternates (11th and 12th place) must also be provided in case of any disqualifications. If you do not submit your votes on time, you WILL be disqualified, and all votes for your entry will be nullified!
The jury voting form is here.
Audience Vote
Every Tumblr user (whether you’re a Head of Delegation or not) can vote once in the audience vote (also known as the televote)! You have 50 votes to spread around, but you can only vote for a song a maximum of 10 times. If you vote for any song more than 10 times, your ballot WILL be thrown out. When filling in points, please DO NOT place a zero on songs you are not voting for, as this screws up the statistics and adds more work for me! (If you’re a member of the Discord server but don’t have a Tumblr account, you are also eligible to vote!)
The audience voting form will be available within the next 48 hours, so stay tuned!
You have until Monday, 15 August 2021, 8pm CEST to submit both your jury and audience votes! If for whatever reason you need an extension of no more than 48 hours, please let me know ASAP!

It's almost time for the 2022 edition of Tmblrvision! As is tradition, this means it's time for the Head of Delegation Participation Intention Survey. If you're thinking about participating at this year's contest - whether you've got set plans or not, whether you've participated before or not - you're highly encouraged to fill out this survey, which is completely anonymous. It gives me a way to gauge how many people may be joining the contest, and how much time and effort I may have to put in into running the contest.
While there's currently no hard deadline for this, the soft deadline is set for a week from now, on Saturday, June 11, 8pm CEST.
I hope to hear from you (anonymously), and look out for more announcements regarding Tmblrvision 2022!

It's July, which means it's time for the annual fan contest event of the summer: Tmblrvision Song Contest!
In this post, important details about the contest will be revealed, such as the calendar of events, host city, and visual identity. As a reminder: Sign-ups are in ONE WEEK, on Saturday, 9 July 2022, at 9pm CEST! So if you're interested in participating, be sure to note that down on your calendars! Saving a country gets very competitive; just take a look at how close those timestamps are from last year:
Discord Server
The Tmblrvision Discord Server has a rather active community, not to mention an extensive collection of song suggestions for each eligible country. Many things are also first announced on that server (apart from the sign-up form), so do #JoinUs to stay on top of the latest Tmblrvision news!
Tmblrvision Song Contest 2022 Rules
This year's rules have been published on a Google Doc. I suggest briefly going through them if you're interested in joining the contest. If you've participated before, the most notable rule changes are: (1) the participation of Independent Belarusian Artists and Independent Russian Artists, (2) the dates of eligibility (only songs released from July 2020 onwards are eligible), and (3) the audience vote (aka televote) procedure, which now allocates a flat amount of ten votes per audience voter.
Read the rules!

Host City, Venue, and Presenters
As mentioned previously, we have made the decision to have this year's contest in Ukraine but in Spain. The focus will very much remain on Ukraine, but of course Spain's contributions will be visible and acknowledged.
The partnership of Ukraine and Spain has definitely informed the planning of the contest, particularly in the selection of the host city and the presenters. The presenters for the contest will be two iconic performers, one from each country: Jamala and Chanel.
As for the selection of the host city, we looked into which cities in Spain were partnered or twinned with cities in Ukraine. Between the two cities, we selected the one twinned with Kamianets-Podilskyi, which is Teruel. As Teruel did not have a suitable venue, we looked at the autonomous community it belonged to, Aragon, and ended up with its capital city.
We're pleased to welcome you all to this year's host city, Zaragoza!
The venue will be the Pabellón Principe Felipe, an indoor arena which opened in 1990 and is home to basketball's Basket Zaragoza and handball's Caja3 Aragón, but is definitely no stranger to hosting major concerts.
Visual Identity
That's your first look at the visual identity of Tmblrvision 2022!
The emblem is, of course, the sunflower, which is a symbol of hope and peace in Ukraine.
The slogan is Hope Dawning, as we recognize the power of music as well as the power of people and artists coming together to spark hope in uncertain times.
The slogan matches up with the background colors of the visual identity. The gradient uses the colors of the flag of Ukraine and the flag of Aragon and it is meant to evoke the imagery of dawn breaking. The proportions are also significant in that while Ukraine plays a dominant role, the support from Spain and Aragon is still a visible and vital presence.
Even the choice of font used for the slogan is deliberate. The font is Kyiv Type Titling, coming from a font superfamily designed by Dmytro Rastvortsev used for Kyiv city identification.
These design elements will be used for all official graphics for this year's contest.
I hope you've enjoyed this look into the details of this year's contest! I hope to see you next week on 9 July 2022 at 9pm CEST for the sign-ups of this year's contest!
