It shows how much attention I was paying to that contest that I was like "the host didn't delete himself?" before realising it was the other serial deleter in charge of it...

I struggle with the summer contest at the best of times (the theme always seems weak to me) but the random rule change when the contest opened and then the backtracking was just a bit off-putting to most, I think.

I actually had a song for it when it was just summer themed, but then it got so confusing that I just stayed away...

I only found out when I was looking through the World Cup thread and saw a "Deleted" user name, which was strange given how recent it was. Once I knew who it was, then I was wondering what was happening with the contest.
I was tempted to enter as I've got a few summer related songs but the "Anthem" part of the contest confused me. If it was called Summer-vision or something, I might have entered.

Well at least it wasn’t half way through a contest they were hosting like before.

Mine wasn't an anthem, it was a song by the Gabriels, saw them on the tv at Glasto and they were good, so I entered it. I think people were overthinking a simple contest. Just pick a song you'd like to see live and let people vote on it, but if everchangingusername didn't get more than 10 entries, he was always likely to self implode anyway.

Nothing stopping someone else hosting a one round Summer competition with simpler rules. It was always in the schedule.

Are we having a Halloweenvision this year? It's not on the schedule...

Just checked and Wanderlust won last year I believe; I'm not sure if he wants to host? For some reason I thought the contest was Daz' baby but he probably won't want to run it as he'll still be doing Rock Idol. Likewise I'd volunteer but I'll have Time Machine on at the same time.

I won it 2 years in a row, so ran it the last two years in a row, i'd be happy to run it again but like you say I'm a bit busy

Personally, I'd vote for giving Halloweenvision a rest for a year, and replacing it with TheThorne's one month Haven's Got Talent idea that he mentioned a few months ago.

I'd have rather had Halloweenvision than many other contests! But if there's no-one to host and no real appetite for it a break wouldn't be the worst idea ever.

Personally I also love Halloweenvision, and these simple 'one round' themed contests in general really.
