**Iceland** has participated in the Instaglobal Contest sixteen times since their debut in the first edition. Iceland has yet to win the contest.

## First Decade

Iceland debuted in the **first Instaglobal** with the song "*Fjaðrir*" performed by SUNDAY, which ended 15th in the Final. The best placing from the first decade was made by Thorsteinn Einarsson in the **sevent edition**, placing 11th in the Grand Final. During this edition Iceland withdrew three editions due economic problems and average results.

## Second Decade

Previously to the **11th edition** RÚV created "Bring The Show To Iceland" (also known as BTSTI), the Icelandic National Final. The first winner of the National Selection was **Alda Dís**, she reached the first ever top10 for Iceland.

**Sylvia Erla**, after winning Bring The Show To Iceland 3 & Bring The Show To Iceland 5, became the first artist to represent Iceland twice. In **Instaglobal 13** she ended 17th with Gone in the Final and 13th with Wolf Call in the Semifinal in **Instaglobal 16**.

From the **14th to the 18th** editions none of the contestants qualified to the Grand Final.

Icelandic-Italian singer Emilíana Torrini ended 14th in the **Instaglobal 18'**s Semifinal, making the worst result of Iceland's contest history. After she left the green groom she published on Twitter "Ég bjóst ekki við því að fá þessa niðurstöðu, því miður ég saknaði þín Ísland", which can we translated to "I didn't expect to receive this result, I'm sorry Iceland for failing you".

In the **19th edition** Glowie and iLL BLU qualified after five non qualifications in a row and ended fourth in the Grand Final. This was the first ever top5 for Iceland. During the voting  **Iceland**,  Denmark and  Albania were fighting for the victory, but the last voter gave it's 12 to  Morocco, this 12 points were enough to pass Iceland, putting Glowie and iLL BLU out of the top3.

After this, the country stayed away for 2 editions and returned to Instaglobal 4 with Ira Losco and her song "*Shouldn't have to bother*", which only came 12th in the semi-final, failing to qualify. PBS claimed after the contest that the country wouldn't possibly return, due to bad results and the withcoming lack of public interest.

Surprisingly, Malta did return to the contest at its ninth edition in Toronto, Canada. The national final was won by Ira Losco, who got the honour of representing the island nation twice as the first artist to do this. Sadly, her song "*Haunted by love*" was not giving her a better result than her last attempt: she came 14th in the semi-final with 38 points.

Instaglobal Song of the Year

**Instaglobal Song of the Year** was an annual year-end chart show including a public vote for the best song that was sent to the Instaglobal Song Contest in the past 12 months.

## History

On 26 October 2017 it was confirmed, that a new Instaglobal event would join the Instaglobal family which was announced on Instagram with the slogan *something is coming*. On 1 November 2017 it was officially announced that the Instaglobal Song of the Year would be launched and that the first edition would still take place before the end of the year.
The second and last edition of the Instaglobal Song of the Year was broadcasted in 2018. At the end of the results presentation it was announced, that the show would not continue in 2019 due to high effort, low ratings and a low interest, even though the hosting moved to the official Instaglobal channel.

## Participants and Voting

Any of the participating entries that reached the Instaglobal Song Contest final in the past 12 months technically could have joined. The first voting round included the 100 highest scoring songs. In an online poll, participants and non-participants were able to vote as many songs as they wanted.
The semi-final system changed in the second edition. Only 50 songs took part in the semi-final and a jury of 11 Instaglobal delegations voted for each song on a scale of 1 to 10. Like in the previous edition 15 songs passed. Every delegation submitted a song which did not enter the top 50 for a wildcard voting. In a seperate poll, the public chose the 16th finalist out of the semi-final delegation's suggestions.

The top 15/16 songs from the first round proceeded to the final round, in which a chosen jury made up of Instaglobal delegations awards 12, 10 and 8-1 point/s to their ten favourite acts. The song with the most points gets the title *Instaglobal Song of the Year*.

2. Reports from the media had stated that Kati RAN has no relations to Finland except she is singing in Finnish. She was interviewed by the YLE IGC team and she was given options including representing the Netherlands in a future edition or leave SMK voluntarily.

Kati RAN was allowed to perform but people could not vote for her.
