Format

With no changes in its format since the previous edition, the whole show would still consist of 3 Semi-finals(with 10 qualifiers from each), Second Chance round and the Grand Final. Participating countries, just as usually, are bound to come from both geographical and historical Europe (with the addition of Canada, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa) with only one special guest(in this edition - United States). The voting system has not changed; each country had a set of jury points from 1-8, 10 and 12 and 58 televoting points to give out to the participants. The songs chosen were meant to be found and selected by players themselves, both original records and covers, as well as the ones, which previously had taken part in Eurovision Song Contest. The running order has been revealed after a randomization personally held by the contest's supervisor.
