2021 Good Luck Messages

Each year, OGAE Rest of the World members record some creative good luck messages for each of the acts participating in Eurovision. If you would like to check out some of the fantastic videos our members made in previous years, you can find them here.

The Good Luck messages are a #2022Points opportunity, however this points opportunity is limited to 41 members (or groups of members). Each video is worth 10 points. Where more than one member participates in an individual video, the 10 points for that video will be divided equally between those members.

All videos must be submitted by no later than noon CET on Saturday 1st May 2021. 

Expressions of interest will open February 2021. Complete the form below to nominate your 3 preferences. This will be allocated on a “First-In” basis. If your three preferences have been filled, you will be randomly allocated a country ONLY if you have selected “Yes” to agree to such. If you say “No”, you will not be able to participate in the opportunity.

Thank you to everyone who put their hands up for this opportunity, 31 people. The remaining 8 countries were allocated via the second version of the expression of interest form, with the same deadline..

VIDEO REQUIREMENTS

Make a video of yourself or get creative with a slide show or let your imagination run wild, to wish your artist good luck or best wishes for their performance at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam 2021.  The person who expressed the interest in making the video must be in the video themselves.

Please make sure that any pictures or videos that you use are not copyright.  If you play a soundtrack during your video remember that different songs have different copyright requirements throughout the world. Generally, if you play a small section of a song (or use a very generic song) then it should be ok.

Please remember that your video messages will be posted to the artists, composers and song writers.

They will be uploaded to the Rest of the World YouTube channel and then tweeted or Instagram’d to the artist. The message will also appear on our Facebook page.

Once the videos are on these platforms, they will be visible to the entire world. 

Please be reminded that all videos must be in accordance with the OGAE Rest of the World Code of Conduct. These are Good Luck messages ONLY, any other intention conveyed in the video will not be accepted. Videos deemed non-compliant with the code of conduct will receive no points.
