50SS 2019: Semifinal voting is complete!

Just a quick update here from us at 50 States of Song... to let y'all know that semifinal voting is DONE. A massive thank you to everyone who voted! We will take a week or so to tabulate the results and a video will be released announcing the 24 songs advancing to the Final Round.

HOW WE COLLECT VOTES

Semifinal voting was 100% jury-based in 2019, so we did not incite a public vote. The public vote returns for the Final Round and will account for 50% of the overall score, alongside the 50% from jurors.

What's the difference between a juror and a public voter, you ask? In 50SS terms, it's just how you decide to vote. If you know how to use the Eurovision rating system, you are a juror! If you use our separate form for rating songs (which is set up to be inclusive to voters unfamiliar with the Eurovision scoring format), you are a public voter.

ALASKAN ENTRANT

This week, we will also share with you all the 51st and final song - the Alaskan participant - so watch out for that announcement, too.

See you shortly - and best of luck to your favorite songs and states!
