**History**

CreateVision'02 - The second edition of the Eurovision-type Georgian contest CreateVision, the premiere of which took place on October 15, 2022, was held in Fubballo, one of the largest cities of the fictional country of Gutenia. A total of 10 "Countries" took part in the second season of the competition, including: Gutenia, Port of Karko, GreatSaamo, Verendel, Alverton, Cather, Planiturium, Kingston, Loveland (Borgchester) and Rey, and this number is still an anti-record. At the contest, the points were originally supposed to be written in the Eurovision style (which provides for 1-8, 10 and 12 points), but due to the lack of participants, the rule was changed and 1, 3, 5-8, 10, 12 points were written. In the second season, like the first, there was televoting, which was responsible for about 33% of the final votes.

**Barcova**

After Gutenia's victory, Barcova, who was the leader of the jury's points with 81 points and received 13 points from the public and took the fifth place, decided to leave the competition, since President Nika Adeishvili categorically did not like the televoting system, where it was possible to vote for the participants themselves and their relatives. Barcova's departure from the competition changed the rules of the competition (specifically, the distribution of jury points), since an unprecedentedly low number of participants, 10, took part in the second season. Nevertheless, the televoting system continued for 2 more seasons.

**Winner**

The second winner of CreateVision was Port of Karko, whose representative was Amy Winehouse with the song "Back to Black". The country scored 123 points, the second highest ever in the competition after Gutenia, who won the first season with 144 points. Port of Karko beat second-placed Kingston by 31 points, the biggest difference between any two countries so far. Karko won both jury points (88) and public votes (35).

**Last Place**

In the second season of the competition, Verendel took the last place with 34 points, represented by Alexander Rybak. The country took the last place in both jury scores (15) and popular votes (19). This was Verendel's only last place in the competition until the eleventh season, when it scored 17 points in the semi-final, making it the last in it's semi-final, tenth, and last in the competition overall, finishing in 18th place (originally 21st, before the scandal).

**Controversies**

This was the first time the competition was in danger of being cancelled. After the end of the second season, two countries, Rey and Cattery, left the competition. Rey was unhappy with his performance in the competition (it placed fourth, but came in near last place in the televoting with 20 points). The case of Cattery was much more complicated, its president Nika Inasaridze started his contest, however, after some misunderstandings, the contest was canceled and the president cut off all diplomatic relations with other states. Nevertheless, the contest was saved from cancellation, as the remaining participants asked Barcova president Nika Adeishvili to return, and two new countries, Q'artvalia and Aphrodisland (Mercuria), agreed to debut.
