WLSC Congratulations 7

For more information about the 7th WLSC Congratulations and the actual show go to the thread. Congratulations 7 was the seventh anniversary edition of the Waiting List Song Contest celebrating the 201 - 210 era. After their win in the previous edition with Ruben and 'Burn Down This Room', Tamausia & Deltannor accepted the offer and hosted the event. The host broadcaster was RTVTD. The venue for the contest has been the Harbourlands Arena in Stellchard, the nation's capital city. The theme for the contest was 'Ride the Waves', celebrating Tamausia & Deltannor's maritime and seafaring heritage.

Location
The contest will be held in Stellchard, Tamausia & Deltannor.

The brand new Harbourlands Arena on Stellchard seafront has hosted the event. The 9,500-seater Arena is being built to accomodate Stellchard's premier Ice Hockey team, the Stellchard Slicers, but did also host concerts and cultural events, just like this one. The arena was chosen to host over three other venues: Le Grand Teatre de Stelçarde, Sala de Conférencies de la Tamausi-Deltanne, and a large tent in the middle of Welchus Park.



"The head of RTVTD, Melinda Martou, had explained this decision: 'It was a difficult choice between this wonderful new venue and several others around Stellchard that would have also been very suitable to host this event. What gave the new Harbourlands Arena the edge was its easy accessibility from the city centre, with great public transport links via bus or tram or even just a short walk on foot, and also the great level of accommodation and facilities that surround the arena site. It is in a beautiful location with great views across Stellchard Bay, and its position next to the sea fits in well with our theme of "Ride The Waves". We think it will be a wonderful venue to welcome our friends from all around Natia."

Host
The host for the show has been international pop icon Paula Abdul, who represented Tamausia & Deltannor at the Waiting List Song Contest 177 on home soil. A popular figure in the host country, Abdul's announcement as host generated a lot of excitement.

A spokesperson from RTVTD stated: ""We are so excited to have Paula on board. We know she will deliver a fantastic all-singing, all-dancing presentation that will entertain viewers in every country throughout Natia - this definitely will be a show that nobody will want to miss!"
