Redditvision Song Contest 19

Redditvision Song Contest 19 is the nineteenth edition of the Redditvision Song Contest. It is hosted in Nicosia, Cyprus after their win with the song "Sanctify".

Visual Design
The theme "Sun, Sea, and Sound" was revealed on the 25th of May 2018 in combination with the song submission post on Reddit. The theme combines an oceanic theme, alluding to Cyprus's location as an Island, and modern geometric shapes to form a sea made of triangles; with the main logo being a bright orange sun. The slogan, according to host u/stardust112, represents "the combination of music together with the beautiful beachfront of Cyprus, representing this edition of the contest as a whole."

Allocation Draw
The draw to determine the allocation of the participating countries into their respective semi-finals took place on 29th of May 2018 at 11:15 CEST, in the official discord's "#Live" channel. The fifty-six semi-finalists had been allocated into eight pots, based on historical voting patterns as calculated by contest participant u/feimir. Drawing from different pots is supposed to help reduce the chance of so-called "bloc voting" and increase suspense in the semi-finals. The draw also determined in which semi-final the six automatic finalist countries (hosts Cyprus and the rest of the top six in edition 18: Australia, France, Iran, New Zealand, and Samoa) would vote.

The draw only decided the halves in which the countries would participate, not their actual running order positions. These were, at a later date, chosen by the host.
