Vonified in MRSOTY

Vonified (stylised with all lower-case letters) is a former MRSOTY participant, and has participated 41 times, making his debut as one of the 10 participants in the first edition of 1967.

vonified emerged as a successful participant in 1960s and early 1970s, making it to top 3 four times, including three 2nd places in a row. His performance took a step down during the rest of the decade, with multiple low scores, including a last place in 1977. However, his entries stabilised during the 1980s and brought mixed results, including his only victory in 1982, which vonified himself has claimed to be a "troll entry". In the next years, two more top 3 achievements were made, and 1990s especially proved to be a successful decade for vonified. In the 21st century, vonified brought himself down with a series of lower performances and the infamous 2003 disqualification due to his attempt to indirectly participate with two songs, using Big Ed, who also was disqualified. vonified returned after a 5 year disqualification, but was losing interest in the event, as he gained two more disqualifications due to missing his list submission and was permitted to participate.
