I'm sorry Antarctica is a continent, not a country plus there are no cities or governed bodies either. I can't accept Antarctica.

If you're going for the cold effect can I suggest the following:
Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia

Hey, this year I'm going to do Estonia.

Song name: Unkown at this time
Genre: Runo-song fusion

We're all friendly, that's the whole point this contest was created! I created it to meet some NG audio members and to make new friends, now it's become a popular contest and so many people get to meet fellow artists!

I'm glad you've chosen to take part :)

Representing a country is srs bsns. Yeah... there's a list here of what I can accept. All of them except the ones with countries in brackets at the side I can take along with Hong Kong.

Having been brought up there for nineteen years, I do look forward to what you're going to produce. I will be keeping watch over your submission for the RAC like a hawk.
That having been said, if I do finally decide to join, the UK is mine!

I do believe it was already stated that the UK had already been shotgun by someone else via PM.

It was taken by that person! Haha :')

Well then, I'll either decide on another country or sit out the competition. If the UK and Ireland aren't available, there's a fair chance I'm out.

Ah oops. My bad! So it is taken by me after all. Okay, I'll go by what I initially said -- I need time to decide.

WHY MUST YOU PUT SUCH A HEAVY BURDEN ON MY SHOULDERS? OH WOE IS ME
...But seriously, though, I have very little knowledge about traditional Malay music, so hopefully, with a crash course in Malay music history, I won't screw up. HOPEFULLY

Burden? More like a challenge! I grew up literally having all the different traditional musical forms from every single state rammed down my throat at one point in time during my primary/secondary school years. That was a burden. Now I would have loved to be encouraged to read up more on Palestrina and Thomas Tallis (something which I have the occasion to do now), but hey, there you go.

I'm assuming you took music classes that's taught by really good teachers. For some reason, I'm actually glad I didn't go through all that. Probably would've lost all interest in music.

For one, you either have really good teachers, or a passion, or a musical parent. I had at least three good teachers during my lifetime, and my mother was musical (I say was because, if you followed the May NAC, you know what happened to her). I had the passion, but the whole bit about reading up on Tallis and Palestrina only came very, very recently, what with me discovering plainchant and loving it.
