It's time to vote for our next two festivals which will run from September 1 to October 31. Voting starts now and runs for 8 days. You can change your vote any time until the closing of the poll on Saturday, August 29th. To do so, click "Remove vote" to cancel your previous vote, then vote again.
This poll is for the "Covers" festival. There is a separate poll for the "Originals" festival. Please vote in both polls.
Remember, "Covers" is covers only, and "Originals" is originals preferred but covers welcome unless otherwise stated in the festival's description. The "A cappella Collabs Fest" is an exception this time as both covers and originals will be accepted.
- Bacharach Fest - Covers of songs written by Burt Bacharach. See https://www.songfacts.com/category/songs-written-by-burt-bacharach-and-or-hal-david (https://www.songfacts.com/category/songs-written-by-burt-bacharach-and-or-hal-david) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_written_by_Burt_Bacharach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_written_by_Burt_Bacharach).
- A cappella Collabs - Vocals only. No instruments allowed, and no percussion unless it's produced by your body (finger snaps, hand claps, chest pounding, etc.). Must be a collaboration between two or more Songcrafters members. I assume that most people will want to do a cover because it's easier to adapt an existing song to a cappella than to create one from scratch, especially as a collaboration, but originals will be accepted too if anyone feels up to that challenge.
- EuroVision - Covers of entries for the Eurovision Song Contest since it's inception. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entries_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entries_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest).
- Bond Themes - Covers of any James Bond theme. See https://www.radiotimes.com/news/film/2020-01-15/james-bond-every-theme-song/ (https://www.radiotimes.com/news/film/2020-01-15/james-bond-every-theme-song/).
- Nuggets Fest - Covers of songs from the 1972 compilation album Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuggets:_Original_Artyfacts_from_the_First_Psychedelic_Era,_1965%E2%80%931968).
- Roy Wood Fest - Covers of songs by Roy Wood and his various bands (Wizzard, The Move, etc.).
- The Kinks Fest 2 - Covers of songs by The Kinks or solo works by its members. See our 2016 Kinks Fest here (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?action=festival;sa=KinksFest).
