Waiting List Song Contest 220

For more information about the 220th contest and the actual show go to the thread.

The Waiting List Song Contest 220 will be the 220th edition of the Waiting List Song Contest. The contest was held in not one, but two cities, in Meridia and Cyvrasil, after Bigicia's victory in the previous edition with the song "Naħseb Fik" performed by Aidan.

The edition will explore the dualism that characterizes many aspects of the Bigician culture, religion and society. There are two distinct ethnic groups living together in the realm, the Beto-Gerans (who, despite their differences in the past, have slowly merged as one culture throughout the middle ages and modern era) and the more contrasting Ciupean culture, who stubbornly survived against all odds.

The city of Meridia will host the festivities and the show with the artists performing on the luminous stage of the Royal Hall who resides close to the Cathedral of Light, while the city of Cyvrasil will be the one to reveal the results of the edition. The decision to host in two cities was the one of the Minister of Culture Bauron Masoud, 1st Count of Moldir, who thought it would be most appropriate to honor both the Beto-Geran culture, who is more closely linked to Nocturnal and the Ciupean, as their entire culture is under the patronage of the goddess Meridia.

Twenty-two nations participated in the edition. Bagrovor, Begonia and  Gringotts withdrew, while  Akatsuki debuted.
