Plastics Song Contest is a song contest. It's a contest using fictional fantasy countries. This contest was already held 7 years ago when the first edition started in January 2017. Any country that is part of the Plastics Broadcasting Organization can participate.
Format
The participating countries submit songs, which are performed live in a television programme transmitted across the Plastics Network by the PBA simultaneously to all countries. A "country" as a participant is represented by one television broadcaster from that country: typically, but not always, that country's national public broadcasting organisation. The programme is hosted by one of the participant countries, and the transmission is sent from the auditorium in the host city. During this programme, after all the songs have been performed, the countries then proceed to cast votes for the other countries' songs: nations are not allowed to vote for their own song. At the end of the programme, the winner is declared as the song with the most points. The winner receives, simply, the prestige of having won, and the winning country is invited to host the next edition.
