Americavision Song Contest (abbreviated ASC) is a song contest on YouTube. The competition is based upon the existing Eurovision Song Contest. In the Americavision Song Contest, the 50 states of the USA compete against each other.
Concept and rules
Shows
The Americavision Song Contest consists of three semifinals and a Grand Final. The 50 participating states are randomly drawn into one of these semi finals where they compete against each other for the 26 spots in the final.
The winning state of the last contest is the next hosting state.
Entries
The entries are chosen internally for the first edition. From the second edition on, users can hold preselections for a state they choose. A song is eligible to participate if it meets the following requirements:
- The entry has to have been released within the last ten years
- There must be a music video (fan-made or official) for the entry
- Remastered versions are allowed if they're sung by the same artist
- The performer of the entry has to be born, raised or be living in the state they compete for (in cases of collaborations, only one of the performers has to meet this requirement)
Voting
Only the audience is allowed to vote in the semifinals and in the Grand Final. The users rate each song from 1 to 10 via a Google form. The winner is the song with the most points and will be selected 100 % by public voting.
