Okay I don't need to repeat the reasons why this edition is special and for that reason you have the opportunity to announce your votes in audio or video again.

It's optional but strongly encouraged. The format of the presentation remains the same so scores 1-7 will appear on the scoreboard together, followed by the 8 points, 10 points and 12 points (just like in the Eurovision Song Contest since 2006). You can take around 30 seconds to introduce yourself and thank the host, praise Juche (joo-CHAY, este), mourn my departure etc etc, while the points 1-7 appear. Please then wait 5 seconds before announcing your 8 points. Then it's up to you how long to wait for the 10 and 12 (with a minimum delay of 5 seconds between each), if you wish to build suspense.

If you want to make a clip, please upload it to any file hosting provider (if you use YouTube then you must make it as an unlisted file not public or private) and send the link to me. I must receive it by 30th July.

Important notice about video voting: For those who make a video vote, please try to only use the central band of the screen. By that I mean don't use all the screen space: so if the left and right sides of the video are cut off, you are still visible and intact. If you're aligned more to the left or to the right then that's fine I can work with that - just don't move around using all of the frame please.

If you're audio voting: Just do the same as always, nothing changes there.

LASTLY: If you want to thank the host - Julio - an important note: HIS NAME IS NOT PRONOUNCED AS HULIO! Go with either a British sounding J or Zhulio. BUT NOT HULIO! In fact you can go here and click "Listen" to get the proper pronunciation.

Please send the links to the clips to me via private conversation or e-mail.

Danke.
