TiBB Music Festival 08

The TiBB Music Festival 08 will be the 8th edition of the annual TiBB Music Festival musical event. The contest will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, the winning country of the seventh edition. The contest will consist of a final held on 4 February 2021 and a final results show on 12 February 2021.
There were 14 countries to participate, with 1 country debuting, 1 country returning, and a record 25 countries withdrawing.
This is Josiah Stuart's eighth contest as executive supervisor, with Asthena Thanou as executive producer of the contest.
The winner was South Korea, with their song "Lovesick Girls" by Blackpink. They won with 219 points, 25 points over the runner-up, Australia.
This was South Korea's first win in the contest, and their sixth appearance in a final.
==Host(s)==
Initially, Josiah Stuart was announced to be hosting the eighth edition, due to his past ability to host both TiBB Eurovision 2018 and the final of the third edition of the TiBB Music Festival.
However, the week before the contest; the official presenters were announced to be Augustine and Rudolph, who used to host the TiBB Eurovision Song Contest until 2018.
==Location ==
The eighth edition will be held in Pittsburgh. Unlike the past editions which have taken place in arenas, this edition will be completely socially distant, with hosting portions filmed in Studio 3C at TPB Studios.
==Format==
The competition consists of 1 final and 1 voting results show, a dramatic change to the format which has been in use since the start of the TiBB Eurovision Song Contest. This edition, because of videos posted via Google Drive as well as a playlist on Spotify, the contest would be extending its reach across platforms and devices.
===Voting===
The voting system from the first three editions remains. Every country will each give out two sets of 12, 10, and 8-1 points; one set for the jury voting, and the other for the televoting. Televoting results will be revealed in order of jury rankings, like the previous edition. In a change to make things fairer, tiebreakers would be done by counting who had the most countries vote for them, rather than via the running order.
===Running order ===
The final running order of the competing performances in all of the shows was decided by Josiah Stuart and was revealed just hours before they began.
===Graphic design and slogan===
The graphic design, logo, and slogan were revealed on 30 September 2020. Originally, there was to be no specific symbol this edition, as the slogan itself would become the logo. A revised logo and symbol were revealed on 25 January 2021, just 2 weeks before the contest. The new symbol is a blue bird with its wings spread out in flight. This is also the second edition with the 3rd generic logo of the contest.
