Tapavision Song Contest 1997

The Tapavision Song Contest 1997, was the 42nd edition of the annual Tapavision Song Contest. It took place in Tyrum, Bobrock, following (name)'s win at the 1996 contest in Marida, Palta, with the song "(name)". This was the seventh time that Bobrock hosted the event, and the fourth in five years.
The contest was held at the Point Theatre on 3 May 1997. (names) were the presenters of the show. Twenty-five countries took part in the 1997 Contest, which saw Auritadia return after a four-year absence - the last participation being in 1993, along with North Point, Northern Province, Rockland, and Fortland, who last took part in 1995, despite having taken part in the non-televised 1996 pre-qualifying round in which they failed to qualify and therefore were absent. Wellings, Lynskip, and Arizaia were relegated, while North Derkasia, who had debuted the previous year, declined to participate for financial reasons; as a result, Brightland qualified for the contest. North Derkasia would return the next year in 1998.
