RE BRANDING OF ESC COVERS
Now that OGAE Rest of the world has a new website, ESC COVERS will be re-branded as a fan website focusing on the covering of Euovision news and especially songs in other languages. A new logo and time line photo will come in place in the next weeks. We will also be focusing on frequent competitions and the first one kicks off today. In all cases Eurovision items will be the prizes.
Today’s competition has the 2005 Eurovision bag as prize (in honour of Eurovision 2017 being in Ukraine).
Although the competition is open to anybody visiting the website, you will be required to collect the bag in Ukraine next year or make arrangements with someone who will be going to collect it on your behalf.
You need to answer the question as a comment to this post. There is no right or wrong answer and everybody who posted an answer will be in the draw to be the winner.
The question is – would you like to see Ukraine being presented in 2017 by a male, female, due or group and give your reason why you want that.
