## Format

### Semi-final allocation draw

The draw to determine the allocation of the participating countries into their respective semi-finals took place at the Parlament of Georgia on 18 December 2020, hosted by Nutsa Kukhianidze and Themo Melikidze. The first part of the draw determined in which semi-final the Big 6 would have to vote. The second part of the draw decided in which half of the respective semi-finals each country would perform, with the exact running order determined by the producers of the show at a later date. Twenty countries will participate in both semi-finals, respectively. From each semi-final, ten countries will join the "Big 6" in the final, where a total of 26 countries will participate.

The thirsty-five semi-finalists were allocated into six pots, based on their geographical place and cultural similarities. Drawing from different pots helps in reducing the chance of so-called neighbour voting and increasing suspense in the semi-finals. Each time a country was drawn from the pot, its semi-final and half of the semi-final was determined.

The six pots were the following:

* Bulgaria
* Croatia
* Greece
* Montenegro
* North Macedonia
* Italy
* Malta
* Morocco
* San Marino
* Switzerland
* Belarus
* Moldova
* Russia
* Turkey
 Pot 4
 * Andorra
* Ireland
* Portugal
* Spain
* United Kingdom
* Hungary
* Luxembourg
* Netherlands
* Romania
* Slovakia
* Estonia

## Logo and theme

    The logo of the thirty-nineth edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged was designed by Alex Ramírez the main producer of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. Due to the time of the year this season took place, the producers wanted something creative and unique with an explosion of color. "Christmas is the right time to celebrate music and we wanted to leave dark colors behind and start something new" expressed the main producer. The main logo can be described like a ball with different color gradients resembling a Christmas tree ball. Each one of this color gradients unveils a different layer, connecting with all the layers that everyone has and how music affect them in a different way. For this reason, the slogan "Magic inside us" fits very well with all these layers, cause we can find magic in every one of us.
