The fifth edition of the Redditvision Song Contest will be held in Montréal, Canada, following TheDutchDen's win of the Edition 4 contest in Lyon, France. Thirty-four countries from all over the world have confirmed to join us for the fifth edition of the contest, hence this will be the first contest to have semi-finals. The top 6 users (Canada, Israel, Sweden, Hungary, Finland, and France) will qualify automatically for the final with the remaining 28 countries being split between 2 semi-finals. The top 8 from each will qualify for the final. Each delegation will send a song no longer than 5:00. Delegations have between the 19th-22nd March to confirm their entry, then countries will have 7 days to confirm their song.
