Vonified in MRSOTY

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

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.
