**Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 24**, also known as **ESCT #24**, was the twenty-fourth edition of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged, which was held in the city of Bruges, Belgium at the Concertgebouw, for the second time in the country as it won in the 17th edition. Belgium once again reached the gold medal last edition in Limassol when Loïc Nottet won the contest with the song "Million Eyes" in a narrow result with United Kingdom, with **230** points and 4 points of margin.

Last edition, a brand new record was broken when all the countries that have the privilegde to take part in, participated. It was expected to continue with the same number of participants but in the end, two countries withdrew setting a number of participant countries in forty-seven. So Austria attempted to confirm its participation but finally, withdrew allegating lack of interest in the contest. Then Lithuania didn't confirm on time and was forced to withdraw after several warnings.

Once again in this edition, because of the huge amount of participant countries, the Pre-qualification round was introduced, where the bottom 3 from each semifinal from last edition will compete to win a spot in the Semifinals. The voting countries will be the own participating countries and a jury voting based in the votes from the **Big 5**. The 4 countries with most votes will go through the Semifinals.

## Incidents

### **Cheating accusations**

One day after the results of the semifinals, it was discovered that Andorra told the number of points that this country gave to Macedonia in the Semifinal 2. Because of this Macedonia revealed that its 12 points from Semifinal 2 were given to Andorra and the 12 points in the Grand Final were going to be given for Andorra as well. In addition, Andorra confessed that he was sending his entry privately through private messages and that is against the rules. The council members chose as punishment for Andorra and Macedonia to delete Macedonian points to Andorra in the Grand Final.
