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!

Siora Has Spoken: Karjelinn Claims Gold!

---

After months of anticipation, the fourth Voice of Siora Song Contest concludes in Valland!

---

Careful Eggy, or your face might freeze like that!


The day of the competition saw each nation - some still riding the high of having taken with them the six points from the preliminary vote and others anxiously hoping to come out as the dark horse of the competition - perform onstage with a vast range of visual and audio effects at their disposal: huge crystal screen displays, hundreds of lights, trapdoors and moving floor pieces, projectors and pyrotechnics. And of course, they brought with them their own visionary talent.


John Ström lit up the stage his electrifying guitar riffs.




Oslanburg's summer hip hop hits Gotfred Sommer brought some warmth and fun to the winter festivities.




Maybe the signals Dons is casting is for you to vote for him?




Bangtan Boys bring the heat with their hit, Yeol.




Pavlos Giannopoulos melted hearts with his silky sounds and moves.




The Man, the Myth, the Legend...Bill Mullins.




Hearts were wrenched in the audience with Luukas Pulkkinen's emotional performance.



Although every performance was spectacular in their own right, there could be only one winner at the end of the night, and that honor has been awarded for the first time to Karjelinn, for their entry Pomppufiilis by the band Eggy. With a, uh, "unique" sound and hippy-hoppy moves, Eggy thrilled the audience with his antics and wowed the judges with his stupidly silly voice. (How does he do it?) The race to the gold medal was close for the latter stages of the competition, where the early lead built by Millerainia was slowly chipped away until Karjelinn slipped by in the last vital votes of the competition to edge into first by two points, the closest margin in competition history.




And so we give another hearty congratulations to our first place winner, Karjelinn! We look forward to seeing you host the next competition!

The Voice of Siora committee also extends a big congratulations to second-place winner Bill Mullins from Millerainia, and third-place winner Luukas Pulkkinen of Harmajaa.
