ONLINE SELECTIONSONLINE SELECTIONSOnline selections will take place from March 1st, 2011 to March 31, 2011.
PUBLIC VOTING As with every edition of the ERC, online voting will be available and more than welcome. Only one vote per country/region will be allowed. **Remember: you can vote only once; the control system doesn't allow multiple votes from the same person, email, computer, or IP address. Votes that are not submitted according to these guidelines will not be confirmed.
Please note: several violations of this rule will penalise the band, possibly resulting in disqualification TECHNICAL JURY A technical jury will be appointed to judge the bands. Jury members will award each band with “quality marks” (from 0 to 10 – 10 is the maximum score). The full list of the jury members will be announced by March 15th 2011
FINAL CLASSIFICATION The final heat for each national contest will take into account the scores awarded by the technical jury (quality marks) and the online votes by the massive (number of votes). The votes of these two categories will be converted into percentages and added up. In order to ensure equal weight upon the final evaluation, the preferences expressed online will account for 20% of the final marks, and those of the technical jury will make up the remaining 80%.
Regional live finals and prizes
ONSTAGE: the top 3 bands of the final online charts.
Every band will perform 40 min on stage (change-over included).
EVALUATION: The task of selecting the winner of each regional final is entrusted exclusively to the jury. During the finals, technical juries will be asked to judge: originality, quality of performance, professionalism on stage (including time keeping and change-over), response of the audience and potential of the band in a European context.
