Controversy
After the semi-finals had ended, it was revealed that Gozitania, Halito, Lost Isle, Noizeland, Saint Joe & Southgulfia, Viola Per Sempre and Yaponesia had all failed to vote in their respective semis, leading to all of them having their score reduced by 75%. This led to discussions about the clarity of deadlines announced on the forum then contest is held on, and the use of reminder private messages. Had the reductions not been in place, Gozitania would have qualified in 10th place in semi 2.
