## Format

### Number of participants

Since the seventh edition the EBU announced to put a maximum at the number of participants. In the seventh and eighth edition, eighteen countries were able to participate.

Because the introduction of the semi finals, there is no maximum of participating countries. However, since the seventeenth edition the EBU announced that they would put a new maximum of countries. This meant that 41 countries were able to sign for a participation. This means that each semi final would have 20 countries, plus the host nation (who qualify automatically). Until now, they never reached this limit. Because of the limited number of participants, there was no semi final.

From the 27th edition unitil the 30th edition, the last three countries have to withdraw from the competition. This is to give other countries the possibility to return to the contest because of the limited spots. Since the 31st edition there is one semi-final, with a maximum of 20 countries.

### Running order

There are specific rules about how a country gets his running order.

The host country will have a random number. The rest of the countries will be split in to groups (first- and second half). This will happen fully random. Later on, a team will create a running order to make the show as interesting as possible.

### Song

Each country sends one song to the contest. There are no rules about the language of the song, but the song can't be longer than five minutes.

### Voting rules

After that all the participating countries have sang their song, each single country awards a set of points. The country who gets the most amount of points wins the contest. If two or more countries receive the same number of points, the country that received from the most countries points, will be ranked higher. If that is also the same, then the country who have the highest rank of a country, will be ranked higher.

## Returning artists
