Rest Of The World

Rest Of The World is a term used for the countries who are voting in Zendari Song Contest, but are not currently competing in the contest. The Rest Of The World jury mostly consists of countries who are currently in the waiting list, but still want to vote in the current edition.

The Rest Of The World jurors are allowed to vote in the semi-finals, but must vote in both of the semi-finals in order for their points to count. If they vote, their points will be added to the international jury voting board, and counted alongside with the other international jurors (which are the countries who are competing or voting in the other semi-final).

Zendari Song Contest 1
There was no Rest Of The World jury in Zendari Song Contest 1, instead, all waiting list countries who voted were apart of a backup jury. Two countries from the waiting list voted, Xobrania and Yuvia, and both of them went on to debut in the second edition of the contest.



Zendari Song Contest 2
For the first time in the history of Zendari Song Contest, a Rest Of The World jury was added. The countries who weren't competing in Zendari Song Contest were allowed to vote, and if they voted, their points would be counted separately, with all of the other Rest Of The World voters. When the deadline passed, all their points would be added together, and the country who received the most points would receive 12 points, the country who received the second most points would receive 10 points, and so on. Three non-participating countries submitted their votes for the grand final. Two of the countries - Orblein and Shairia - debuted in the following edition.
