Redditvision Song Contest 21

Redditvision Song Contest 21 will be the twenty-first ordinary and twenty-third overall edition of the Redditvision Song Contest. It will be hosted by u/Dugly_Uckling in Nice, France after the previous edition's host and winner u/Bowman3058, and runner up u/j_tennant, both turned down hosting. This is the first time the rights for hosting will be given to the third-placed delegate of the previous edition rather than the winner or runner-up.

Participants
Some users announced their withdrawal before the contest: u/SaltyPopcorn02, who had participated in the eighteen preceding editions, winning edition 8 with a then-record number of points. u/JOEMOMO had participated in 4 editions, with a semi-final win and a 21st place as their best result.

Several countries are due to make a debut. This includes Antigua and Barbuda, who were due to make a debut in second special edition but ultimately didn't send an entry. Bahrain, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Uruguay are also debuting.
