North Vision Song Contest 39
Official Confirmation Thread

Confirm your nation here! If you plan to swap nations, don't confirm yet.
All internally as well as nationally selected entries must be sent to the council through this form for approval.

You are granted a maximum of two approval submissions that can be sent through the form. There will be no approvals after the second one - please think carefully before you send us your entries! Once your entries become approved, you will receive a notification from the NBU council.

As of the 38th edition, the meaning of the submission and presentation deadlines will be slightly different. First of all, the submission deadline will now mean that delegations must either have one internally selected entry or a finalised national selection line-up by this deadline. Delegations will still be able to send lists of songs if they really need to, but must have a final decision before the submission deadline. This is due to an influx of delegations sending lists of 5+ songs to the council that are ultimately internally selected past the submission deadline, which causes unnecessary hassle for the council in more ways than one.

Additionally, any timeslots or replacement videos must now be submitted to the NBU by the presentation deadline to ensure that they will be used in the contest. Any timeslots or replacement videos sent after this deadline will not be guaranteed and the NBU will work to select a 30-second timeslot, or create a 30-second replacement video, after this deadline. This is to make the creation of sneak peeks and recap videos as swift and easy as possible and to prevent any further waiting time.

Please note furthermore that entries now have to be sent through the form link above for approval. The council will not be accepting PM approvals as of now. Once your entries have become approved, the council will notify you. A misuse of the submission form will be

THE UNITED KINGDOM CONFIRMS! London – Today the BBC has confirmed the British participation for the 39th North Vision Song Contest. North Vision: Your Decision will once again serve as selection method. Songs and/or artists can be suggested >>here<<. "At this moment I can't say if we will change the format of the selection.

The end of an era

Monday, 30 May • 18:30

Shockwaves have hit the Monégasque Northvision fan collective tonight as announcements ring out that the current Monaco delegation will be leaving their post effective immediately. The delegation took over in edition 34 and saw the country reach new highs in the contest, including a record 3rd place finish in the 35th edition with Genoux Vener, as well as two other top 10 results in the short five edition span. 

We wish the new delegation the best of luck bringing Monaco forward in the contest. And, of course, we thank the North Vision Song Contest for the gorgeous moments that have been created. We are sure there will be many, many more.

SPOILER: Click to show

i don't wanna do one of those really long leaving messages because it's 2022 and no one REALLY cares but yea this is it for me in nvsc the next monegasque head of delegation has been found + the nbu have been informed + i know they will slay the house down boots!



i could say a long piece explaining why i'm leaving but it would cause a lot more hustle and bustle than i have the time or energy for so all i will say is thank you to the gorgeous gorgeous girls who get it i wish you nothing but love and the best and to the ugly ugly hags i wish you nothing but malice and despair.

Serbia confirms participation in North Vision Song Contest #39

RTS has announced that Serbia will participate in North Vision Song Contest #39.

An NS will be held but the format is unknown as there have been talks on collaborating with other ex-Yugoslav states

Serbia has qualified for the last two finals but RTS has only achieved 3+ qualifications on one occasion (#24-27) 

Suggestions are more than welcome. Even though most of them are songs we would have found anyway, it still has a huge influence on who gets in.

Bosnia & Herzegovina confirms participation!

   Following the success of Muha, that the national broadcaster BHRT is extremely happy with, it was confirmed that  Bosnia & Herzegovina will participate in North Vision Song Contest #39!
  The broadcaster announces that another edition of BHVision may happen, by which the next representative(s) will be selected, however they don't exclude any other format, depending on the financial situation and the quality of the songs submitted. If the selection happens, the same format will be kept, meaning that a total of 8 songs will be chosen for the national final.

Austria confirms their participation; national selection likely to be held.

ORF has announced that Austria will participate in the 39th edition of the North Vision Song Contest, after a respectable 14th place by Sophia Blenda. The Head of Delegation also announced that the entry will likely be chosen through a public selection, which would mean that 'Der vierte Kaiserschmarrn' will be held once again with twelve entries of diverse backgrounds.

Submissions for artists and entries have opened and will close at a later date. ORF focuses its search for the upcoming entry to be a group effort or alternatively a soloist of male, transgender or non-binary identity after the last artist was a female soloist. Austria has sent alternating gender-varied acts since the 33rd edition and wishes to keep this up, with the last edition of Kaiserschmarrn featuring two trans non-binary artists.

Additionally, the Head of Delegation announced that in light of Andorra's victory of the contest marking the first time that a micronation has won, Austria volunteers to host the 39th edition in their stead - should the North Broadcasting Union be asking for a replacement host. The country has previously hosted the 24th edition in Vienna and has experience in delivering a 'phenomenal show', with other cities such as Graz, Innsbruck, Salzburg and Linz being mentioned in carrying out the contest should Andorra have difficulties in doing so, and if more obvious replacements such as Spain or the runner-up, Finland be out of the question.

ROMANIA CONFIRMS!

TVR can officially confirm Romania's participation in the upcoming edition of North Vision Song Contest, following a overwhelming result achieved by EMAA. It was without doubt that the country would keep on competing, especially because of the 5th place and the automatic qualification achieved. The broadcaster is thinking about the potential selection method; another edition of Romania's Revival was not ruled out. However, no more details are known on this date. TVR is also open to suggestions from the other broadcasters regarding the artists or even songs they'd like to see represent Romania. That's all for now. Stay tuned!

Switzerland confirms participation under new HoD!

SRG SSR officially confirms the Swiss participation in the upcoming edition of the North Vision Song Contest!

It was such a journey with Kazakhstan over this 10 editions, but the chapter has ended. I have had a lot of ups and downs with this country, not qualifying for 8 editions in a row and being rated as "robbed" even in 3 editions broke my heart. I love Kazakh music but I understand that it is not to everyone's taste, I have tried to give the maximum variety thanks to the 6 editions of Äwenfestïvali but only one final was achieved by this method.

I say goodbye to Kazakhstan with a smile, the last two finals have been amazing (although I wasn't able to follow them live because of cytube problems and xx appointment that you already know lmao), I wish Argüello the best and to have more success than me purr ! I would like to suggest you that if you plan to host NFs please select your songs via Äwenfestïvali, it would be very sad to see the end of a NF that was born almost 7 years ago, in 2015.

Most problably our song will be selected via National Selection, an online form has been opened and you can suggest your wonderful desires <<here>>.

• Latvia confirms for NVSC #39 •

Freshly returned from Leeds with a 7th place in the bag, marking the second-best result of the Baltic state in the contest, the Latvian broadcaster is now able to confirm that Latvia will participate in the 39th edition of the contest, planned to be hosted in Andorra.

"Incredible, we arrived in Leeds, knowing our song was liked by the fans, and we were believing we would be able to pull it out, but 7th is not the final result we were expecting at all, especially with a song in Latvian, considering it was the first time in nearly 40 editions that a song in Latvian had qualified for a NVSC final, so we are just amazed by this result, and now we also believe that the strong collaboration formed within the (Latvian) delegation, the broadcaster and our main financial support Coca Cola will continue for the best. We already have planned the 39th edition, as with the strong support -both financial and broadcaster-, Latvija Decides, which debuted last edition as the new selection for Latvia, will be reconducted.

We might do some small tweaks to the selection, mostly to the way it is organized, but overall we are planning to host a similar selection than in the 38th edition."



More information about the selection is expected to come by the month of June, as before that, Latvia is getting ready to host the upcoming Pre-Qualification Round in Ventspils, where at most 10 countries will participate, and where only a handful of these countries will qualify for the Semi-finals!
