Nation Song Contest 46

Nation Song Contest 46 was the 46th edition of the Nation Song Contest and was hosted by Fervorosia for the first time, after coming 2nd to Spila in the previous contest, who declined the opportunity to host. Akkåville debuted in one of the semi-finals, taking the roster place of Lost Isle, who withdrew for the third time in it's history, albeit after a longer continuation of participation than the previous two times.

Controversy
For the first time ever in contest history, the final had 30 entries. The 29th finalist qualified after it appeared that Spila, a prequalified nation, failed to vote in the semi-final. However, they sent their votes in later and both Spila and the 11th placer in the first semi-final took part in the final. The 30th place went to United Islands, who originally failed to vote, but after citing this to unfortunate circumstances beyond the nation's control, was allowed to compete in the final.
