**WorldVision Song Contest 141**, often referred to as **WV 141**, was the one hundred forty-first edition of the WorldVision Song Contest. The contest took place in the West End district of Central London,  London, following the country's victory at the 140th contest with the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. It was the sixth time that London had hosted the contest, having previously done so in WorldVision 18, 96, 99, 111 and 117. Organised by Eulaliya, the Scottish co-host Lupus and the host broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) , the contest was held at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

Fifty-seven countries and regions participated in the contest, with  New Zealand and  England returning, the former returning with a new juror who has participated in the contest before.  Western USA did not attend the festivities of the West End edition, citing various other projects and life commitments.  Taiwan decided to withdraw from the contest for the time being.

The winner was  **England** with the song "Little Bit of Love" performed by Tom Grennan and written by Dan Bryer, Mike Needle and Tom Grennan. The winner artist, talking about the song in the winner conference that followed, said, "'Little Bit Of Love' is all about the mental struggle of moving on, or going back to a relationship." The song reached success in Netherlands, Poland, Ireland, Belgium, Czech Republic, New Zealand and of course the United Kingdom, placing in top 10 of their respective charts. This was England's third victory, but the first victory for the player Gabe.  South Korea (ALi),  Brittany (Denez Prigent & Yann Tiersen),  Seoul (ENHYPEN) and  New York (Jessi) rounded out the top five. The New Yorker player Arion achieved their best result to date.

### Incidents

* Russia and  Israel failed to vote in the first semi-final.
* Russia,  Uzbekistan,  France,  Croatia and  Iceland failed to vote in the final.
* The contest was prolonged due to the main host Eulaliya's radio silence for a short while, the results took place on 20 June, instead of 18 June or earlier.
* The REJU votes of the second semi-final were not added to the totals which caused major errors in the results, resulting in a qualification loss for  Germany,  Bosnia & Herzegovina qualifying instead. As such,  Germany received a pre-qualification compensation in WV142.
* The votes of  Kantō and  Sweden were also wrong, with  Kantō awarding two 10s. It was later revealed that Canada received 8 points instead of 10, it didn't influence the qualifiers however.
