The Narasha 'Oshenna Songsoftagoun (IPA: [nɑːʁˈɦaʃɑ ʔoɔ̯ˈʃɛnʲɑ ˈsoŋ̊soʊ̯ftəˌgɒːn], Oceana for Oceana Language Song Contest), abbreviated as NOS, is a new song contest that it planned to be held annualy in the Hurbadome in Millstreet, Hurbanova, Oceana. The first edition was held in 2012. The idea is that everybody can send in songs in the Oceana language and the ultimate goal is promoting the use of that language in contemporary music. People at home can vote using a voting-paper. The project is organized and supported by the Narasha 'Oshenna Rát.
Preselection and judging[]
Originally, the preselection was being held per region. A regional judge decided on who should go through to the finals. This system was abolished and replaced with a direct voting system, as some regions could not bring forward enough artists. All people in Lovia and Mäöres can cast one vote per telephone connection and of all submissions, only ten will compete during the finals. At the end, the winner of the Songsoftagoun is chosen by a multinational jury and votes by spectators in the Hurbadome. The phone number to cast votes in Lovia is +1-900-271-5855 (rates apply).
