There is no rush - the opening date for submission is not for a few days yet anyway!

I've written down several possibilites for most categories, but even with the help of Google I'm going to struggle coming up with one unknown dance act, let alone three.

Let this Dance forum be your friend - lots of new dance is criminally ignored by the masses of this streaming era and there are definitely some hidden gems that have posted for inspiration.
I found by starting with one song in previous contests, like Lingovision when I was stumped for an entrant and wanted to take part, and go into a YouTube loop - it throws up some great choices. That’s how I found my beloved Kesh You by searching Kazakh pop at random.

Thanks DJ nordy. Opening date for entrants is the 18th so you still have a couple of days to mull over before then, as the earliest entrant doesn’t guarantee your first choice entrant as I am working on the random grid process. More than happy for you to submit, but will look at PMs after the 18th. If you could send me YouTube links that would help me a lot in compiling.

They're not amazing, but at least it's something!

That’s the spirit! Thank you Whitneyfan - this round was going to be a tricky one, but also very an unpredictable result as a less know entrant. I’m looking forward to seeing this round in particular. Glad you found something in the end.

Haha, I'm still looking for something better, but I feel much better now I have something to offer at least!

Just asking "for a friend":
Re The Alternative and The Unknown Round.
If the main act is unknown & the track failed to reach the UK top 100, but it features an act/acts that are well known & have had hit singles in their own right would that make it ineligible for this round?

Totally valid question, and not a scenario I thought through if I’m going to be honest as you could have DJ Unknown ft Nicki Minaj with a Skrillex remix - all three could feature in several categories. Can you/your friend PM the one you had in mind please? Im inclined to say the main artist defines the choice - but like I’ve mentioned as a first round of this we can flesh out inconsistencies.

I found a few songs like that, it wouldn't really be in the spirit of the round to have DJ Nobody feat Kylie would it for example imo.

Then PM me and I will say yes or no - or I can bin that category if it’s not working out.

I think even if you allowed it. It would be at serious risk of being penalised by voters by breaking the spirit of the round.

Great - wasn’t sure how to fix that one, but yes agree it’s not the spirit of the round, so grateful you found an alternative. It’s about an act with no familiar artists - so the features should be the same. There are lots out there, so having a scour through the Dance forum you can pick up an idea or two - its very difficult as host to name names, but YouTube lists are definitely a good source.
