Kross Nemaken Liedfestival

The Kross Nemaken Liedfestival is an online song festival. Currently, twelve countries participate with more to join in the future. One guest country has taken part with many more planned (Turkey).

In the first contest, Belgium won with Angele's "Oui ou Non". This meant Belgium would host both the first and second editions. Spain came second, United Kingdom came third and Italy came last. The contest had 6 participants. Compare this to the most recent contest, hosted in Antwerp, Belgium, where Sweden won with Dotter's "Bulletproof". Germany came second, their highest placing; while Italy came third, their highest placing. Spain came last, their worst placing.

Rules
Once a country has accumulated the most amount of points from the jury and televote combined, it will be crowned the winner. The winning country will be invited to host the next year but it is allowed to decline. After a country is chosen to host, it has to choose a city with a bigger population than 250,000 and with a functioning arena (or time in which an arena can be constructed).

If there is an event of a tie in the combined score, the country with the higher televote will get the higher placing. If there is an event of a tie without a televote or without a jury, the country that had more countries vote for it is crowned the winner (i.e if country A had gotten votes from five different countries, while country B had gotten votes from only three different countries, country A would get the higher placing). If this is the same, the country that received more higher points would get the higher placement (for example, if the most amount of points a country can give out is 8, then the country who had received the most sets of 8 points, would get the higher placement). If this is the same, you would go down until you would reach the same amount of lower points. If there is still a tie, the score from the semi final would be used (higher the better), or borderline qualifiers would be taken out of the voting tally for each country, or the reference group would decide a tiebreak.
