Finals Information:
We programme all the Finals with the best acts we’ve seen up to that point across the whole competition. That means if you ‘win’ a heat you’re not guaranteed a spot in the next stage, but it’s a pretty good indication. It also means we will wild card people from time to time.

You promise us that you are not using any material or writing (e.g. music) in your spot that you are not allowed to, or that we can’t broadcast in turn.
