Clubs from the countries below can choose a song from their National Final for 1981 to take part in Second Chance Retro 1981.

All other Clubs can have a Guest Jury for Second Chance Retro 1981, plus enter a 1981 hit song from their country to Guest Jury Hits 1981.

Both Second Chance Retro 1981 and Guest Jury Hits 1981 are voted on by the same juries, giving 2 winners and a chance for all Clubs to compete and vote.

RULES

OGAE Clubs (where the Country held a National ESC Final for the Retro year in question) can choose their favourite (non-winning) song from their ESC Selection of that year for SECOND CHANCE RETRO.

All other OGAE Clubs can participate as Guest Juries for Second Chance Retro and also enter a Hit Song from the year in question in GUEST JURY HITS.

A Guest Jury can still be a Guest Jury voting on both Contests without an entry in either Contest.

(Ex) Yugoslavia's Jury will be made up of Club members from one or more of OGAE Bosnia-Herzegovina, OGAE Slovenia, OGAE Serbia, OGAE Montenegro, OGAE Croatia and OGAE Macedonia. If Yugoslavia did not participate in Eurovision in the year in question, all former ex-YU Clubs can participate individually in GJH for that year.

Sechuk will be the web resource for both Second Chance Retro and Guest Jury Hits.

Both SECOND CHANCE RETRO and GUEST JURY HITS are voted on by the same juries, from the same CD - and voting is revealed on both contests via this site.

Dates will be issued for the whole programme to cover : Formal Invitation to all Clubs / Participation Confirmation, Song File, Artist Picture Deadline / Order of Presentation Draw / Contest CD Issue to Club Address Date / National Voting Period / On-Line Voting Deadline / On-Line Reveal of Voting Period. Participating Clubs agree to abide by the deadlines, or face exclusion. There are no direct costs for participation.

NEW FOR 2008 - all clubs to position all songs from their voting. If any country does not submit votes by the agreed deadline, their song could be disqualified and all voting towards that song discounted.
