Nation Song Contest 192

The 192nd edition of the Nation Song Contest was held in Begonia following its victory in Doire in the previous edition.

Ujedinjeni Gvozd returned, while Uferbruht began a 2-edition break and Aimūlli failed to send an entry.

The edition was themed around coding as well as SpongeBob SquarePants. Banners featured screencaps from SpongeBob episodes relating to each entry, and for the semi-final results show, blocks of Python code had to be deciphered to reveal qualifiers. The final results were presented in the style of a jury and televote, with the latter consisting of nations' 12s, 10s and 8s awarded.

For the third time overall and first since its return to the main roster, Belvist took the victory with "Arms of the Ocean" by Blackbriar. The top 6 was completed by Ujedinjeni Gvozd, Noizeland, Arirang, Kadis and Rumia.

Due to inactivity of some of the highest-placing nations, nearly a week passed before a host for the next edition was decided. This brought along the introduction of a rule requiring a moderator to accept entries for the following edition within two days of the final results if no nation has stepped up to host.
