The Non-Qualifiers round will be a round with all countries who have ever taken part in any edition of the Eurovision Song Festival participating. Every country which has ever participated in the Eurovision Song Festival sends a song from their country which has (unfairly) failed to qualify. Countries with a 100% qualifying rate must send their worst ranked song. Then, people can vote if that song should have qualified for the final and if yes, instead of which country. The Non-Qualifiers round will take place in the Zagreb Arena in Zagreb, Croatia. This will be the first time the contest will take place in Croatia. The contest is expected to consist of two semi-finals on the 4th and 5th of May and the final on 6 May 2019.
