GlobalVision Song Contest

The GlobalVision Song Contest known as GSC (sometimes GVSC) is a fictional song contest based in Discord. It's hosted by Xalion and started in early 2019.

History
The Discord server was created on Tuesday, February 12th, 2019, around 3PM CET. The contest's creation was mainly inspired by other song contests, particularly NextVision, NationVision and Antequera Song Contest.

The first 3 contests had no rules, you could send any song for any country. After the third edition ended, a couple of ideas were voted on by the members, and they decided to have more strict rules. As a result, a view limit of 350 million views on YouTube was inforced, the artists had to have at least some connection to the country they're representing, and the songs had to be released after 2000.

After the fourth contest finished, the 2 months long Summer Edition started, which had only 22 participants and was limited to Europe. During that period, the server was quickly losing members and activity.

With the summer holidays over, the fifth edition introduced a couple of new concepts, including a single semi-final and list confirming. After the edition ended, the contest grew in size, and reached it's peak size in GSC 7, where 45 countries participated in the contest.
