POINTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR 2018 HAVE NOW CLOSED.
On our Facebook page, all points opportunities will include #2018Points in the post. This will help you easily identify and search for opportunities on the page. Please note that by participating in a points opportunity you are agreeing to do so within the parameters set out below. All points opportunities are open to all members of the club unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Closed Opportunities:
Sounds like Eurovision - A 25 second sound byte will be uploaded that combines 5 songs. All the 5 songs would be from the same year at Eurovision. You will need to submit your guesses as to what the 5 songs are, and identify the year. This points opportunity is now CLOSED.
Eurovision Treasure Hunt – We are sending you on a Eurovision treasure hunt. Please check here for all of the details. There will be a maximum of 30 points available to each member that participates. This points opportunity is now CLOSED.
1 is not the loneliest number – 36 songs have gotten nil points over the years at Eurovision. We will ask 36 members to write a short piece (a paragraph) in defense of one of these songs, and why it should have gotten points. All members will then have a chance to review all 36 songs and we will vote for the club’s favorite ‘nil point’ song. The 36 members who complete the write up will receive 10 points each. There will be 2 points on offer for each member that votes. This points opportunity is now CLOSED.
Portugal at Eurovision – Portugal have entered 49 songs at Eurovision over the years. Over 2 weeks, we will be giving you a series of clues (for one song each day) and you will need to guess which of Portugal’s entries the clues point to. There will be 2 points available per correct answer, with a bonus 10 points for those that correctly guess all 14 songs. Due to the right/wrong nature of the questions Board members will not participate in this points opportunity. This points opportunity is now CLOSED.
Post-Eurovision Reviews:
The post contest reviews are where you will get a chance to comment on the actual performance given at Eurovision. These will commence on the Facebook page on 22 May and continue through 2 July. You will be able to earn 1 point for each song you comment on.
All 42 songs will include #Post2017 to make them easier to find in the group. If you do not have a Facebook account and would like to participate please email us and we will make alternate arrangements to capture your comments. This points opportunity is CLOSED.
Pre-Eurovision Reviews:
Starting Monday March 20th, one country's entry will be uploaded to the Facebook page each day. You will have an opportunity to write a few comments/review the entry and how you think it will do in Kiev. Members will receive 1 point per country they comment on (there is a maximum of 43 points per member). This points opportunity is CLOSED.
Euro Song news Articles:
The deadline for the EuroSong articles is 17 March. The list of who has volunteered to contribute is available on the club's Facebook page, along with the guidelines for the articles. Each article will be awarded 10 points. This points opportunity is CLOSED.
Good Luck Messages:
We are again in 2017 looking for people to make good luck messages for the artists that will be performing in Kiev. If you'd like to see some of the good luck messages that members have done in the past, check out our YouTube channel. The videos are due to us on Sunday 16th April 2017 midnight CET. Please email them to contact@ogaerotw.com You will be awarded 10 points for 2018 for each good luck video that you submit. This points opportunity is now CLOSED.
National Selections:
Points will be awarded based on the type of selection covered and number of posts you write. Each post for a round of competition or selection of a song or artist will be awarded 20 points (so those needing to write more posts will be rewarded for the effort). If you are sharing the reporting with another member - you will have the points per post divided equally between you (so ten points each). This points opportunity is now CLOSED.
