**Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 29**, also known as **ESCT #29**, was the twenty-nineth edition of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged, which was held at the Palau Sant Jordi, in Barcelona, Spain, for the second time in the country, after Ruth Lorenzo won with her song "Good Girls Don't Lie" in the previous edition breaking a record by being the only winner winning two editions of the contest.

Finally, fourty-six countries participated in the 29th edition. There were three countries which were forced to withdraw for not voting in the Gran Final of the previous edition, Cyprus, Italy and Malta. Surprisingly, after a two editions break, Montenegro returned to the contest, hosting a national final for the first time ever.

For the first time since Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 23, the Pre-Semifinal Round (PSR) won't take place due to a decreasing number of participant countries.

**Faouzia** from Morocco was the twenty-nineth winner of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged with the song *My Heart's Grave* with a total of **207** points. Switzerland finishing in second place and France finishing in third place.

## Logo and theme

The logo of the twenty-nineth edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged was previously designed by Alex Ramírez the main producer of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. The main logo is a typical Spanish flower called "Biznaga" which is commonly found in the south of the country. The main producer was inspired with this flower and tried to represent the power of that flower combined with the power of a whole country in just a simple logo. The skyline of Barcelona also appears at the bottom of the picture with the main and most famous building of the city. The slogan of this edition was "Haughty, precious and proud!", a very well known motto in Spain which became viral thanks to Ana War, a famous Spanish singer.

## Participants
