If Haven Factor is January, it makes sense to pencil Havenvision in after it, so probably April again.
I'd like to keep the June/July timeslot for Haven World Cup, assuming we want another one next year, but it can be slotted in between whatever comes before and after.
It would be good to see another Pot Pourri competition as I enjoyed the last one. I'd be willing to put my name forward to host if the previous winner didn't want to, though I'm not sure I'd have enough time to do Haven World Cup and Pot Pourri in the same year.

Idol format is too overated.

Can scrap Summer Anthems for me, not that it frees up much space

Lingovision should be in April/May as per usual. Can make it May to avoid clashing/overlapping with Havenvision.

I think the general time for "idols" is around Spring after Haven Factor finishes and for Lingovision to just squeeze in the middle of it somewhere. The last Rock Idol was 12 rounds but I'm thinking Instrumental Idol will be just 7 or 8 rounds.
I'm open for suggestions as to the genres, I have in mind old classical, modern orchestral, twangy guitars, brass or woodwind based jazzy-style, jangly pianos, synth-pop, dance-beat, and slower-paced music that isn't orchestral, and maybe one totally open round where you can play anything you like! So that would be 9 rounds.

I'm already excited to see who everyone goes for!
How many rounds of Time Machine will there be left to do in January out of interest? So I can try and work out a few things in advance, especially since Christmas will take over my time fairly soon. I did have a look but I couldn't seem to find the info I wanted.

At the moment the regular competition should finish by Christmas! I was considering a bonus round, which I would probably leave running until early January to give people enough time to vote over the holidays. So you'd be able to start whenever in January really.

They are great and so much variety We had one in Pot Pourri but they didn't have to be instrumentals, so I guess that would make it a bit different this time. I could make it TV or film themes.
