Azerbaijan Television (AzTV) has confirmed that Azerbaijan will be taking part in the North Vision Song Contest 39. Despite a forced participation in the next Pre-Qualification Round due to Hiss placing nineteenth in last edition's semi-final obtaining only 60 points, the country's Head of Delegation affirmed today during an online interview with local fansite 12xal that the Caucasian nation is committed to participating with the aim of going as far as possible.

Internal selection to be held

Unlike last edition with a national selection being held, an internal selection will be conducted instead this time. The Head of Delegation revealed during the interview that the team is currently in direct dialogue with the local music industry as to ensure the selected act will represent the "Land of Fire" at the highest level.

On top of that, the internal selection process will be further evolved through the introduction of an international focus group. If you're a (co-)Head of Delegation and are interested in being part of the said group, fill out this form where you'll obtain more information on the matter.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA!

Zagreb, 2nd June: The HRT, Hrvatska radiotelevizija, has confirmed that Croatia will be participating in the 39th edition of the North Vision Song Contest. 

After a 2 edition break and the stepping down of the previous delegation, HRT confirms that Croatia will be returning to the contest under a new delegation. Interest in the contest has been dwindling due to the slew of bad results and on-and-off participation caused by a lack of funds. Many people have blamed the bad results and the 2nd to last ranking in the ranking of nations on slavophobia. The new delegation will try their hardest to drastically improve Croatia's reputation in the contest and showcase only the best that the country has to offer.

We can also announce that a national selection will be used to select our entry for the first time since the 20th edition. Dora will serve as the national selection for our entry. The format is still to be decided upon.

MONTENEGRO CONFIRMS!

The Montenegrin national broadcaster RTCG announced today their participation in the upcoming 39th edition of the North Vision Song Contest.
After another non-qualification with Savana in Leeds, the previous Head of Delegation Rudis Knezović resigned and will be replaced by Basil Marković from now on.

"Our beautiful country of Montenegro didn't qualify to the Grand Final since the 33rd edition and this saddens me a lot because we have so much talent to offer. I feel ready to take over Rudis Knezović's amazing work during the last 2 years. Together with the broadcaster, we already worked on a way to create more interest from Montenegrin artists, locally and beyond the borders." - Basil Marković

San Marino confirms participation for NVSC 39!

San Marino RTV will be there in the next edition

After the elimination in the 37th edition, Mara Sattei's qualification
for the final show of the NVSC 38 reassured the microstate. 

The HoD: We cannot miss Andorra,
the first microstate that managed to win the competition.
For us it is also a victory,
San Marino almost did not get its first victory in the 28th edition,
but Andorra gained it a few days ago.

The small states are offering a lot of great music, and as it should be,
they are rewarded with a place in the final.
The competition is evolving and all countries are playing their cards at their best.

Most likely we will go on with our national selection which is now the trademark of our country.

The lines are open for sending the songs,
we also remind you that suggestions must be sent ever to PM.

RTSH will withdraw for another edition.
The head of the delegation said: ''As stated in 38th edition, There is a chance to miss Albania two times in a row on nvsc stage. Sadly we still cannot afford such an expensive contest at the moment. Albania will therefore not be present at NVSC party''

Today the Albanian team announced that they hopefully will be back in the 40th edition. We would love to shine at this beautiful anniversary. Meanwhile, the Albanian fans will support our Balkan neighbors. Stay tuned for more information.

Real reason: I'm still on a very busy schedule in these months, but after that I'll be happy to return. So see you soon.

A NEW BEGINNING DAWNS FOR ALGERIA

ENTV can confirm that it has parted ways with Head of Delegation Stefan Kayteb after ten editions at the helm. During his time in charge, Kayteb helped to lead Algeria to the country's third best result in the contest, a 5th place finish with Mauvais Oeil's "Mektoub". Kayteb also led Algeria to its longest streak of appearances in the Grand Final of the contest, 4, which is also the total number of times Algeria made the final under this HoD. Unfortunately however, all good things must come to an end. 

It's time for me to move on from my role as HoD for Algeria. I've had a really fun time in the contest which started with the timeless gay icon Ysa Ferrer and ending with a queer banger collab from Yanis and Lalla Rami. Unfortunately I've not been able to dedicate myself to the contest in recent editions and have found it hard at times  to even vote and as such I feel the spot in the contest would be much more worthy of someone who'd really love the opportunity to get to participate in the contest. I've got to know several of you better than I would have had I not participated in the contest over the last 3 years and I'm thankful for that! No more tantrums from me NBU!!!

Algeria is a diamond in the rough and you can find some great songs (but make sure to befriend the French HoD :nay: ). I'll be tuning in to see how whoever takes overs gets on!
