**Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 27**, also known as **ESCT #27**, was the twenty-seventh edition of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged, which was held at the Donbass Arena, in Donetsk, Ukraine, for the second time in the country, following Ukraine's victory at the 26th edition in Prague with the song "I Love You", performed by Tayanna in a narrow result with Spain, with 196 points and only 8 points of margin.

At least, 47 countries confirmed its participation in the 27th edition of the contest. This excludes Czech Republic, which withdrew alleging bugdet cuts for having hosted last edition; and Montenegro which justified its withdrawal due to the poor results from previous editions.

Once again in this edition, because of the high amount of participant countries, a 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.

**Alice Merton** from Luxembourg became the twenty-seventh winner of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged with the song *No Roots* with a total of **238** points. Poland finishing in second place and Andorra finishing in third place.

## Logo and theme

The logo of the twenty-seventh edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged was previously designed by Alex Ramírez the main producer of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged and the executive conseulor, José Gabriel. It is a revamp version of the Eurovision 2017 logo and design, as a coincidence with the same host country, changing the round shapes for cubes with different patterns, refering to the diversity. The slogan "Enjoy Diversity" is also a revamp slogan from the original one "Celebrate Diversity".
