Redditvision Song Contest 29 was the twenty-ninth ordinary and thirty-first overall edition of the Redditvision Song Contest. It was hosted by u/qyzxf in Ngereklmadel, Palau after their win in the previous edition, with the song "Our Own House" by MisterWives.
The winner was Saint Lucia with the song "I Lost A Friend" by FINNEAS.
Format
Visual design
The visual design this edition features many golden jellyfish (Mastigias papua etpisoni), chosen as an iconic representation of the host country Palau, where they are abundant in the famous Jellyfish Lake, or Ongeim'l Tketau, on Eil Malk island. The logo depicts various golden jellyfish swimming underwater, with the view directed upwards toward the light above. The slogan, "follow the Light", is seen in the upper right corner.
The logo, recaps, and other visual elements this edition were made by u/qyzxf, while u/jimbaux drew out an initial design for the golden jellyfish that was incorporated in the final logo.
Participants
66 participants signed up for the edition. This was the first edition where the waiting list was used.
This was the first edition u/ShellEase and u/FlohNumba1 didn't participate in. Another significant withdrawal from the contest was u/Kastenbrot2, who had participated in every edition except for the first edition.
Three users made their debut this edition: u/DIalecticalMaterial, u/GeorgeESC and u/theGarden530. User u/TDGlakes, who previously participated once in edition 14 made a return as arctos889. {add more returns and stuff idk}
