Waiting List Song Contest 208

For more information about the 208th contest and the actual show go to the thread.

The Waiting List Song Contest 208 was the 208th edition of the Waiting List Song Contest and it was hosted in Solentoya which placed second one edition before. Solentoya accepted hosting the event after the 207 winner, Il-Bidu declined. Kalos Metropolis returned to the competition as a way of thanking the Waiting List nations for twelve points at the Nation Song Contest 186 the country recieved from them; Belvist returned after a short break as well. New Bander State competed under the name of their overseas territory - ZEgreen Island.

Theme and promotion
The theme of the show was the festival of lights. Graphics and visual identity followed the theme, as well as confirmation and voting deadlines that were renamed to "lighting your candle" and "embracing inner peace". The show was promoted with a tagline "shine a light" and was opened with the following words: "join us at this auspicious time and embrace peace and culture through the festival of lights" which was followed by "let us celebrate light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and good over evil".

Results
The show was opened by ZEgreen Island, overseas territory of New Bander State and closed by Pyreica. Pyreica closing the show was a result of a lesser mistake where they were not included at the official draw and were added later.
