| - Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. Usually the song is in their nation's official language. Each country participates via one of their national television stations, whose task it is to select a singer and a song to represent their country in the international competition. The Contest was first proposed by the Shalman Empire and it has been broadcast once every three months since its inauguration in September 2008. Singasong has also been broadcast outside the COFR nations to such places as Singapore and the United States, despite the fact that these countries do not compete. The Contest has also been broadcast over the Internet and the Holonet. The first season of the Singasong contest took place on September 10 2008, in Bjork City, Shalman Empire, ending on September 18 2008 with the Hiigaran Confederacy as the winner and the host of the Second Singasong contest. The current Fifth Season of the Singasong hosted by Auvergne, the winner for the previous Fourth Season of Singasong, has ended in August 2009, with Auvergne being the winner for it's second consecutive season. Shalman Commonwealth, the runner-up of the Fifth season, will host the Sixth season of the Singasong.
