Last weekend, the annual Eurovision Song Contest happened. Like every year, there was some confusion from the non-European members of the internet (especially fans of European shows who wanted to know why there was no new episode on that particular day) as to what the hell the ESC even is. As usual, there was some confusion among the European civilization who should be used to it by now as to what the ESC even is, why we still have it and why everyone keeps watching it despite claiming they won't because it's silly or pointless or whatever. (One answer to this particular question can be found in the second sentence of this post.)
This inspired me to open this mini-challenge, which has two themes to chose from:
1) Music
2) Weird tv-phenomenos
This is for you to either introduce the rest of the world to traditional, popular or plain baffling music from your (chosen) country - or to introduce the rest of the world to strange things that happen on tv and maybe even explain them - if you can.
The rules are very loose in this one. There is no minimum word-count for stories. You can enter fic, art, fanvids or whatever else comes to mind. The challenge will run for two months, starting now. Signing up is not neccessary.
On August 1st, the challenge will close to make room for another, bigger one that will open that day. The theme of that one is also inspired by an international event that will happen just then. You have three guesses.
Spread the word:

First mini-challenge: Music or TV. This is for you to either introduce the rest of the world to traditional, popular or plain baffling music from your (chosen) country - or to introduce the rest of the world to strange things that happen on tv and maybe even explain them - if you can.
