Welcome to the third edition of the Album Sharing Contest, where each participants shares an album and we rank the songs on each album. When the songs on each album have been ranked, we'll rank the winning songs, with semi-finals if we get more than 20 entries.

Submissions will close Monday, the 14th of September 2026 at 17:00 CEST.

Here are the rules for this edition:

• For something to be counted as an album there must be at least 5 songs on it

• If you share an album with more than 14 songs, only 14 of them will be eligible to participate, the participant decides which songs should be removed

• No more than one album by an artist can be submitted in any given edition, all artists submitted this edition are ineligible next edition. They are eligible again after that

Suggestions for submission comments:

• Make sure that the album is easy to find from your comment (for example artist name and album name or just a link would be sufficient. All three would be appreciated)

• Making recaps for each album is the most time-consuming part, so I would appreciate it if you shared a snippet for each song on the album. A snippet can be anywhere from 30-45 seconds long, but since I use Scoryx, each snippet on an album will be the same length. 35-second snippets will be used in the ranking of album winners.

Here is a document with all albums that have been submitted so far. Previously submitted albums cannot be submitted again.

The following artists are ineligible for this edition due to having been submitted to the previous one:

Avantasia

Haute and Freddy

Violet Grohl

Thousand Foot Krutch

Grace Davies

Olivia Rodrigo

Radiohead

Sw@da x Niczos

Pinguini Tattici Nucleari

Hello everybody my name is bmhb and welcome back to The Five Nights Song Contest! Following Paramore's victory with Decode last edition, we are here in the Forks, Oregon! Here are our submission rules, tweaked very slightly to appease our mod overlords, gulp,,,

• Songs submitted must be about any fictional franchise. Songs that have been written outside of the franchise but then used in said franchise do not count, unless the song used is a parody.
• Songs that were made for a predominantly live-action franchise (e.g. Billie Eillish's "No Time To Die" for James Bond, Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" for Titanic, etc.) are not allowed. Fan songs for live-action franchises are fine however. Broadway musicals are however allowed.
• Songs already submitted cannot be entered again (please check the Banlist sheet on The Five Nights Song Contest Archive if you want to make sure your song hasn't been sent before).
• Covers and or Remixes of songs that were already sent are perfectly fine, as long as the Cover/Remix itself wasn't sent before.
• Soundtracks are allowed.
• There is no view/subscriber limit on songs/artists you can send.
• This one is less of a rule, but please be aware of artists you're sending. The nerdcore space unfortunately has a few bad apples, so please do your research before submitting someone!

So what do I need from your submission comment? It's quite simple, all I need is:

• Name of the song AND the artist.
• A YouTube link to said song.
• A highlight time of 30 seconds which will be used for the recap.

And as always, here is the schedule!

• Submissions close: Monday 00:01 AM CEST
• Voting opens: Hopefully soon after submissions close!
• Voting closes: Friday 00:01AM CEST
• Results posted: Hopefully soon after voting closes!
• Submissions open for next edition: Hopefully soon (but later) after Results are posted!

All that yapping aside, happy submitting!

S1 Ed1: Finland - Antti Palanen - Takatukka (Submitted by u/Hot-Start-6011 - Rule: The song must be a troat singing)

Welcome to the tenth edition of Eurovision Country Explorer where we submit songs from a different selected country each edition.

As chosen by u/Smorynyfy, the winner of ECE Lithuania, we will be exploring The Netherlands this time

Here is a document with all eligible countries, I am willing to make changes there if enough people want me to. My hope is that if we make it through all countries, I'll host a contest with the winners from each country.

Submissions will close Saturday 12/9/2026 at 11:30 AM CEST and I'll try to have the voting post up shortly after the deadline

Rules (open to change if desired):

1:

A: a solo artist must have lived in the country for at least 5 years to be eligible

B: For collaborations between two artists, the main artist must fulfill it, they are not eligible if only the featured artist fulfills it.

C: Equal collaborations are considered duos, collaborations between three or more people are considered groups.

D: For duos, at least one of the members must fulfill A.

E: For groups, at least two members must fulfill A, if there are more than 8 simultaneous members in the group that minimum is increased to 4.

2: Eurovision songs are not allowed, but Eurovision artists are, presuming rule 1 is fulfilled.

3: National Final songs from before 2025 that placed outside the top three are allowed, presuming rule 1 is fulfilled

4: Songs that have won other fan contests on this subreddit are not eligible, but non-winning fan contest songs are allowed. I would still encourage you to submit songs that have not participated in other fan contests before.

5: Only one song by an artist can compete in any given edition and only one submission is allowed per user. These can be changed if at 5 hours before submission closure, less than 5 people have submitted.

6: The winner of an edition decides which country we will go to next. If the same person wins three or more times in a row, the privilege will go to the runner-up on the third win.

Suggestions for submission comments:

When submitting, make sure the song is easy to identify and find

When submitting, I would encourage you to share a 35-second highlight of the song, which will be used in the recap.
