Helfest is a monthly singing competition held the census designated regions of [[Helvaena]] that was created by the Helvaena Broadcasting Network (HBN) after their withdrawal from the [[Univision Song Contest]].

Each region submits a song to be performed on [[wikipedia:live television|live television]] and radio. Each region then then casts votes for the other regions' songs via televoting and a professional jury to determine the most popular song in the competition. 

==Origins==
Helfest was announced as a replacement for Univision after several editions of declining viewer watchtime and participation in [[Univision]], despite many artists still wanting to perform on a large stage. All contests were to be held in the capital of Helvaena, Briovche. All 25 census designated regions participate.

==Participants==
Below is a list of all the regions, and any editions of Helfest that they have won.

==Voting systems==

The voting systems used in the Contest is different to Univision - each region gets two sets of points to award, and the point totals are reduced per entry due to an increased amount of votes, and trying to even up the field.
