===Late opening of entry submission period===
Although the results of the August 2024 edition were viewable for the executive producers of the contest from 2 September 2024, they were not made public until 4 September. In addition, the MBU did not open the entry submission period for the following edition until 8 September, which normally lasts until around the 10th of every month. The Mesdian broadcaster issued several communiqués to the MBU – imploring the organisation to begin preparations for the 108th Mappervision Song Contest – and the Swedish Canadian broadcaster inquired about the resulting delay. The Acadiali broadcaster Acadiali Broadcasting Network (ABN), Drakonijan and Saint Columbian broadcasters also submitted their entries to the MBU early. Though the rules of the competition prohibit participating broadcasters from submitting their entries before the opening of a given contest's entry submission period, on 8 September, the organisation announced that the rule would not be enforced for the edition's duration due to "the lack of communication between [the MBU], [its] active broadcasters and the general public" surrounding the delay.
