National finals

A national final is one option for deciding an entry. National finals are posted on the national finals subreddt.

Background
The National final subreddit was started right in time for the 3rd edition. The post, posted on January 27th 2017, explains what a national final is and what the rules are. A national finals needs to follow Redditvision rules as well as National final rules.

In edition 18 a new rules were added to the Redditvision rules and is not listed in the original post. The rules that specifically apply to national finals, mentioned in this post, are that a message, selected by the host must be included in the national final post. The phrase is mentioned in the song submission post every edition following edition 18. The second new rule is that an artist can not participate twice or more in the same edition. That means that an artist can not be submitted by several people in one edition. In the case of national finals; an artist can be included in several national finals but the person that posted their national final first has the first claim on the artist. This also includes if users have the same song by the same artist in their national final. So if an artist wins several national finals, the person that posted their national final first gets to submit their artist and those were not first have to go with their runner-up.

A user that posts a national final also needs to post the results of said national final on the subreddit. That can either be in a new thread or as an add-on on the already existing national final post.

A national final can be very personalised. It can be a concept NF, have a unique voting system or even have semi finals and a grand final. The choices are endless, as long as they follow the Redditvision rules.
