Since December 2004, some E-MC editions had a specific theme: the song and/or artist had to follow a special rule. We are talking about the E-MC Special Editions. Every year members are asked to submit ideas (and then vote) for those specials. The calendar for those editions is the following:

• The first special edition of each year runs from April 16th until April 30th with a song submission period between April 1st and April 13th (or earlier). It is hosted by by the country represented by the member that submitted the selected theme;
• The second special edition of each year runs from October 16th until October 30th with a song submission period between October 1st and October 13th (or earlier). It is hosted by the country that won the first special edition.

You can now submit your ideas for the 2019 special editions
