The jury of the "Billboard World Song Contest" writes to Fankhauser: "Thank you so much for entering the 16th Billboard World Song Contest. Your song qualified for a top 1500 finish. This is an impressive feat. With thousands of entries coming each year exemplifying top notch quality songwriting there seems to be a trend promoting an ever increasing level of songwriting. Thus the line between winning and not winning becomes harder to define. It is extremly difficult to make decisions when nearly everything is of exceptional quality and songwrtiting craftmanship.
