Waiting List Song Contest 201

For more information about the 201st contest and the actual show go to the thread.
The Waiting List Song Contest 201 will be the 201st edition of the Waiting List Song Contest. After winning the year before, Bigicia will be the host nation for the edition. Theme of the contest was “The dawn of a new era” celebrating the new era of the contest with its newfound enormous success and popularity. Bigicia organised many different activities during the 201st Waiting List Song Contest, one of them being the election of Bigician new Crown Prince or Princess. Emsfrynt was the first nation to anounce its withdrawal, announcing the break from the contest. After the entry submission deadline it was announced that 4 other nations withdrew — Aclaira, Godric's Hollow, Trollheimr, and ÜÜCS. Even though they were part of the main rooster, Effiland never competed at the Waiting List Song Contest, and this was the first time the nation sent its entry. Arva returned after four editions break.
Arkodrë won for the second time since 195, Solentoya came second and Svobodnia third.
==Bigician quest for the heir==
Alongside the song contest, Bigicia run another contest among the nobility of Natia to choose their next king. Following the death of Crown Prince of Bigicia during the cataclysm that affected the Baia Papayan archipelago, Bigician king's health has been affected by these news and it was obvious rhat he won't survive the year. Since, the Crown Prince was his only living children, to avoid the bloody interregnum, where every noble house will be entitled to claim the throne, the king Torrhen III decided to make a contest for the next heir; he has announced that the system will change to an elective monarchy and foreign princes can be eligible as well. You can find full list of the nations’ candidates bellow with candidates ranging from the second daughter of Solentoyan king to the Paperlandish representative at the Nation Song Contest 84.
Since they have won the WLSC, Bigician king, who is a big fan of WLSC and music in general, decided that next Crown Princess will be Arkodrian representative Majlinda Mëriqi.

==Controversies==
- Griffin song “Wish You Were Sober” with its heavy references to partying and alcohol was accused of glorifying under-age drinking. On his Twitter account, Griffin representative defended the song saying the meaning is the opposite of that.
-Some Griffin extremists tried to invade Pyreica, however the attack was successfully prevented. 
- The nation of 7 broke the Nar Darum software and the scoreboard was a mess for a second or two. Bigician nobles will pursue the matter in court rather than in the battlefield. Bigicia is merciful, of course.
