ALC has been hosted since 2004 by Harrow . It is the first contest after the Eurovision finals. In this contest Mbers take ESC songs and give them alternative lyrics. Humour and syallable Nazism is a must in this contest.
Each Mber can enter 3 songs per contest. There are no limits to rewriting songs, however if one song is submitted three times in one contest it gets an Angel-Chiara warning.
As with the other contests entries remain anonymous. You have to vote in your semi & final if you qualify or you will face disqualification.
