Brumund in the Mearthvision Song Contest

National final
* **Melodi Grand Prix**

Brumund has participated in the Mearthvision Song Contest once, in 218 in Sydinie. The country was one of ten countries that made its debut that year, having become an independent country in October 217 due to the dissolution of Russanplon. The contest is broadcast in Brumund by BRK, which also broadcasts Brumund's national selection competition, Melodi Grand Prix.

Melodi Grand Prix was used in 218 to select Lisa Treschow and "Liar", which qualified from the pre-qualifying round and ended up in third place, scoring the second-best position for a debuting country (not including 200) after Warelern, which finished 2nd in 218.

## History

On 17 August 217, a bill was passed which dissolved Russanplon into multiple of its republics. In the coming weeks, most of the broadcasters of each republic, many of which were already existing regional broadcasters, were offered the "independence present", allowing them to participate in the contest in 218 as Associate Broadcasters of the IBU. Nine of the broadcasters accepted this offer, including Brumund's broadcaster BRK.

BRK organised the national final *Melodi Grand Prix 218* to select their entry, held between 15 January and 19 February 218. It was won by Lisa Treschow and "Liar". At the contest, Brumund, along with the nine other debuting countries, took part in a pre-qualifying round on 11 May 218, performing 9th. Treschow qualified for the final, finishing 2nd in the PQR with 427 points. In the final, held on 14 May 218, she performed 25th, where she placed 3rd with 297 points.

Melodi Grand Prix was used again to select Brumund's artist and song for the 219 contest. It was won by Kristian Mickelson, who sang "Deep". Due to the large intake in countries, only the "Big Six" consisting of the top six placed countries of the previous edition will automatically qualify for the final; as it finished the top 6, Brumund will automatically qualify for the final but is required to vote in the second semi-final.

### Heads of delegation

The public broadcaster of each participating country in the Mearthvision Song Contest assigns a head of delegation as the IBU's contact person and the leader of their delegation at the event. The delegation, whose size can greatly vary, includes a head of press, the contestants, songwriters, composers and backing vocalists, among others. The HoD also serves as the supervisor, better known as MGP-general or GP-general, for Melodi Grand Prix.
