The Urthvision Songfestival, sometimes abbreviated as USF or more famous as Urthvision, is an international song competition organised annually by the UVSF which features 5 nations (as for now) being Blueacia, Morstaybishlia, New Leganés, Peregrinia and Tavaris. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio, transmitted to national broadcasters via the public broadcaster which joined the competition, with competing countries then casting votes for the other countries' songs to determine a winner.
Origins and history
The Urthvision Songfestival finds its origine in the national Blueacian songcontest ''Liet'' (Song), in Blueacia the contest is known as "Liet Ynternasjonaal" (International Song). Liet is a yearly event since 1956, after some rule changes and Liet losing interest with the people the organizers allowed foreign nations to join the national competition to ensure a filled roster. More and more nations joined and sterted winning Liet, at a point the organizers called for a change of the rules again. Then the international broadcasters (mostly from Aurora) came together and started the international competition we know now as the Urthvision Songfestival. It had it's first edition in November 2017 with 13 nations joining this edition and it had it's first edition in Blueacia.
