Hi everyone,
Due to the sheer number of nominations (there are OVER 330 RIGHT NOW), I'm closing up the form in a few minutes. If you've meant to submit someone but didn't get around to it, now's the time.
Once I'm done tallying the votes, I'll announce the bracket and there'll be a 3-day gap to let everyone start campaigning (and to let me go enjoy my spring break lol).
I do have one question before the polling starts up proper: Considering that these guys are from a medium that is... not visual, a lot of them don't have canon art/photos/whatever. If I released a list of characters that I can't find a visual for, would we want to do a little informal contest for the art? I'd post all submissions, art previously done is welcome, and tag the artists in every post that includes them. Thoughts? Questions? Concerns? Send them in!

(Pssst jsyk the Erlkonig doesn't originate from Schubert, he's a figure in Germanic mythology. Goethe wrote a poem about him, which Schubert later put to music.)
yes! characters that are adaptations of folktales/myths are allowed :)

@mercifulmelo yes she is <3
Hello, and welcome to the Song Character Showdown!
We'll be doing a standard tournament bracket. Before you dash on down to that submission form, a few quick rules:
Characters must originate from music, not just have a theme song. Bill Wimbly has his own song in the Wimbly Show, but he's from the TV show. White Boy McGee is in a musical and has a few numbers. Grunklo Frommyalbums is the narrator of the pop song The Ballad of Grunklo. Bill and White Boy can't compete, but Grunklo can. Examples: Melanie Martinez's Crybaby, They Might Be Giants's Particle Man, My Chemical Romance's The Fabulous Killjoys
This bracket is not intended for characters from opera/traditional folk songs/classical music, but if they have enough nominations, I will absolutely include them. Examples: Schubert's the Erlkönig, Sergei Prokofiev's Peter, Flotow's Martha
Characters from adaptations of older stories are allowed, as are those that had their albums adapted into other mediums. Examples: The Oh Hellos's Wormwood, Lord Huron's Lee Green
Characters that appear in music videos are eligible, as long as they appear in more than three videos. Example: IDKHOW's White Shadow
Real people are not eligible, even if they're in music videos and have songs sung about them.
Characters may be nominated in groups or individually. Examples: MCR's The Fabulous Killjoys, the Mountain Goats's Alpha Couple
There'll be a max of 32 players. Nominations close on March 28th. You can nominate as many guys as you want, but only submit them once. Have fun!

What are your favorite submissions so far
i could say the ones from my favorite bands - alpha couple, johnnie redmayne, mr. moon, etc. - but that's the boring answer. the REAL answer is that cat three people have cried over and and each and every beautiful soul from a vocaloid song that i've never heard of once in my life but people are VERY passionate about

If we submit a character that started as a song character but was expanded via non-music media how should we handle submitting them? Only reference their songs? Or are they not submitable?
they're more than welcome :) you can just submit them referencing their songs

Do you already have a few repeats ?
yes! that's part of the point, though :) the factors i take into consideration for adding them to the poll include but are not limited to:
how many nominations an individual char/group receives
how many nominations multiple characters from an artist/extended world receive
how many other characters by the same artist would be included (i have a soft limit of two per artist)
how excited submissions/reblogs are about their little fellows
