The World Song Festival 2021 is ready to start. Like last year we will have 8 preselections with the independent nations of the world, then 3 preselections with non-sovereign areas and we will end with 1 preselection where the best non-qualifiers get a “second chance”. After these preselections the time has come for the final with 100 songs.
The top 10 from each of the 8 preselections with independent nations will qualify for the final, with the songs placing 11th to 14th getting a “second chance”.
The top 3 from each of the 3 preselections with non-sovereign areas will qualify for the final, while the songs ending 4th to 6th will get a “second chance”.
From the “second chance” (the 12th preselection) the top 10 will qualify for the final.
At the end the organiser will select 4 remaining songs of the ones not qualifying and give them a “wildcard” for the final.
The preselections start on the date given, while voting ends at 18.00 CET at the last day given. Please notice that the first 8 preselections have 10 days to vote, while the last 4 preselections have 14 days to vote.
If you want to vote in the preselections, please contact the organiser on this e-mail: info@worldsongfestival.org
Please note the deadline for voting in each preselection is at 18:00 CET on the day the preselection ends.
