NSC. Fractured. Broken? All the right pieces.
150 years. Drama. Controversy. Highs. Lows. Epic highs. Drastic lows.
Many things have threatened the safety and very existence of our simple forum contest, but after over a decade of music, and laughter, and joy, the contest remains stronger than ever with community at its core. The pieces of the puzzle that make NSC so unique, exciting and compelling after so long are plain to see. More than ever we should celebrate these successes, this community and this bond, and revel in 150 years of magical moments!
Tonight, 38 nations have come together in Vardychinov, Cydoni-Gibberia, to celebrate the last decade of entries, with some iconic tracks, underrated gems and successes all forming a strong mix of performances in this edition of Congratulations. It's now time to wind the clock back for the period between October 2016 and September 2017. Let's celebrate!
