AmericaVision Fantasy Song Contest

The AmericaVision Fantasy Song Contest, shortened to America is a fantasy contest, held on Reddit since 2019. The contest includes countries and territories from the Americas, including Greenland. The current organizer is the moderator - u/YUGOSLAVIA-IS-HERE Users are allowed to hold national finals with others from the subreddit voting for the song to represent their chosen country. When the actual contest begins, the participants vote 12-1 points in ESC-style format in Semi-Finals and a Grand Final. The particular fantasy contest follows the format of the other continental ones - it is an annual contest, that runs for around 2 months. Users must find songs from the chosen country, they selected to represent and they must follow the given song criteria. After the song submission window has closed, comes time for voting and then the 10 qualifiers from each semi are announced. They continue to participate in the final, where the ultimate winner is revealed.

Origins
The AmericaVision Fantasy Song Contest started in 2019, following the other continental fantasy contests. The first edition consisted of a finale with 30 nations, taking part in it.

Participation
Each edition varies in terms of the maximum number of nations that can take part, but the previous one had a maximum of 44 available nations to take. The first edition recorded 30 participants, the second - 34 and the most recent one had just a single participant less, making it 33. Only 3 nations, who were free to be taken, have not participated yet - Belize, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis.

Borrowing
Much like in other contests, borrowing has changing rules and criteria, but it always affects the overseas territories and usually, there is a view or stream limit to a song/artist.
