The theme of this second edition is named **Parlez-Vous Fantasia?**, and is connected to the idea of sending a song in a language randomly drawn from a pre-determined list.

## Incidents

### Gasandae

Gasandae originally confirmed their occasion in the third edition of Themed Fantasia Contest. The country was drawn seventh, after the entry from Lakadamia and before the entry from Novalia. The country's assigned language was Bengali. However, the country failed to submit an entry and was forced to withdraw, reducing the number of finalists from thirty to twenty-nine.

### Nineliese entry

"Dakiti", performed by The Marias, who represented Kazkya in the twenty-sixth edition, was announced as Nineliese entry. This caused a question of Ywdi Head of Delegation if this entry was eligible to participate as it a cover and originally performed by BAD BUNNY and JHAY CORTEZ. Nineliese Head of Delegation explained that the covers *were* allowed while Katsyrian Head Delegation also explained that the covers *were* allowed but then the original version of "Dakiti" wouldn't be allowed. "Dakiti" received no points from Ydiwealth.
