The rules of the last editions apply, here they are:

IMPORTANT: Confirming isn't enough, just a submitted song guarantees your place in the upcoming edition! Only the first 51 spots are safe, the people submitting afterwards will take part in a Pre-Qualification Round and compete for the 3 remaining spots, making it a field of 54 in the "main competition"! The maximum number of entries so that there is no Pre-Qualification Round is 55.

Already reserved are the hosts, the Top 3 from last edition and those who voted as members in the Rest of The World Jury last edition. If any of these fail to submit an entry in time, the reserved place will be lost.

We're looking forward to receiving your entries!

[Shovkovskyi/Peter]

My 70th anniversary in this contest didn't exactly go as planned (thank's to the 4 people, who did vote), so I'm gonna go with something a lot more serious this time. I hope this time I can get more than 4 people voting for me. Plus, I would like to avoid 14th place in the semifinal 3x in a row.

The song I've chosen is a story about a guy, who longs to meet his first love. But the girl, who once lived next door, isn't ready for it. The guy doesn't want to give up and will wait to tell, what he needed to tell back in the day, because he can't forget what they've had in the past. The mimes in the video are playing the roles of memories, that don't want to leave this guy, and are affecting his everyday life. He's hoping, that someday it will again "rain" in his "street" (I hope I don't need to explain, what is meant with "street" because it should be clear).

I would like to thank the 12 people who cast a vote in A song for Switzerland #13.

As announced earlier today the winning song with exactly 50 % of the votes is

Ikan Hyu - Supernova



Timeslot: 1:03+ / 1:04+ ("Someday" (or whatever she says) as the first word)
Ikan Hyu

Ikan Hyu is a duo consisting of Hannah from Zurich and Anisa from Winterthur. They met in 2016 during their studies (music) at the University of Zurich. In 2018 they released their first EP called Zebra. Supernova was part of it and although I wouldn't call it a radio hit, it received quite some airplay. Their debut album is planned for release in 2021.
