Stade Vélodrome
The Contest
Arseille, Valland welcomes you to the 1580 Voice of Siora song contest. Set in Stade Vélodrome, home of Olympique de Arseille, visitors from around the globe have arrived in a celebration of song. Each participating nation has sent their best and brightest to represent them on the world stage. As the previous events champion, Valland was selected to host the event in 1580. Stromae, who wowed the 1578 event to take home gold, were selected to perform for the events opening ceremony.
Opening Ceremony - Stromae's full concert
In the first phase of the competition, the Studio Phase, the selected artist or group will produce a song to be broadcast on the Sioran Broadcasting Alliance's partner stations and to be streamed via the official Voice of Siora website. Two weeks before the final event in Treizen, this batch of entries will be open to public vote - but these performers will need to save their best for last, because unlike many competitions, this Preliminary Vote does not assure final victory, nor does it serve to eliminate the underdogs!
With five lucky nations taking an extra six points with them as the crowd-pleasing favorites, all of the artists will need to come up with a brand new song for the Live Phase of the competition. In this round, the musical representatives will go head-to-head with their international counterparts in a live showdown complete with audiovisuals, choreographed routines, and maybe even pyrotechnics to earn the final votes of each nation's representative committee.
Which nation will take home the gold? Which nation will come out as the dark horse? Which nations will thrill and wow the audience? One thing's for sure - Siora is in for a treat!
The Host
Valland was selected to host after achieving victory in the 1578 event in Nyland. Valland has long been known as one of the world's "capitals" of art and design, both an ancient Renaissance city and a modern Cosmopolitan fusion that has seen itself as the crossroads of the Old and the New for centuries. Once the most important and powerful trading port in the world, Arseille is a melting pots of cultures, a worldly fusion of East and West, of the arts and sciences that embodies the worldly spirit of the nation. While the relevance of Valland has diminished in recent decades there are still plenty of ways to enjoy and participate in the arts in Valland. Arseille, this oldest and most stories city in the country, has proven time and time again to be the cultural hub of the nation, with all the largest and best venues for viewing the arts.
Valland welcomes the world to participate in this celebration of the musical arts, and hopes you enjoy your stay!
Lift up your voices, Siora!™
