Redditvision Song Contest 33 was the thirty-third ordinary and thirty-sixth overall edition of the Redditvision Song Contest. It was hosted by u/curryraejepsen in Honiara, Solomon Islands after their win in the previous edition, with the song "Toxic" by Britney Spears.
The winner was Northern Ireland with the song "Novocaine" by The Unlikely Candidates.
Format
Theme and design
This edition has an urban theme inspired by the game "Mirror's Edge". The background features a blue and white landscape of a modern city seen from a broken glass window, and overlayed on top are broken glass shards that form a hand. During the qualifiers, these hands were recolored to match the flags of the participating countries.
The recaps were made by u/AwesomeJoshua.
Participants
60 users participated this edition. The edition saw three debuts: u/MidnightLight_, u/Penstubal and u/Poland_Mapping.
