Nation Song Contest 39

Nation Song Contest 39 is the running 39th edition of the Nation Song Contest, and is being hosted by Bokia after their second win in the previous edition. Mysticland will take part for the first time, and debut entries from Celeja and Lukeland are also possible. Saint Joe & Southgulfia will be back after missing the previous contest, whereas both Aleksandrija and Gozitania will return after long breaks from the competition. Shamiti, St. Lotus and Xanadu officially withdrew from the future contests this edition, and Spila will be forced to sit it out after failing to vote in the final of NSC 38.

For this edition, the final is going to be contested between 29 nations instead of the custom 28. This arises since the first semi-final results gave out a huge surprise as from this semi, both the 10th classified nation and Calypso finished in the same position, the last automatic qualifying position. As the NSC rules state, "If two or more countries end up receiving the same amount of points the country who obtained points from the highest number of countries shall be given priority". So, it was finally decided that both nations will qualify, so as from this semi 12 nations qualified, compared to the 11 from the other semi-final. The same scenario happened once before in NSC 24.
