Format
Visual design
This design drew heavy inspiration from stimuli such as football, fanfare, and energy in order to create the central theme for this edition. The slogan of "Be in Play" is an example of wordplay, referring to being both an active participant in a game of football, but also how an instrument can be in played in a piece of music. The logo has energy waves weaving through it, symbolizing movement and spirit. The letter "a" in the wordmark for the slogan is additionally replaced with the fast forward symbol, which further encapsulated the central theme of movement portrayed throughout the design.
Participants
A total of 66 users participated in this edition, and 5 users were on the waiting list. One user made their debut this edition: u/lissa_1111.
National finals
In total, twenty-one different national finals were hosted: Yemen, Vatican City, Bhutan, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Greece, Somalia, Comoros, Philippines, Egypt, and Niger all hosted one on their own. Furthermore, Rwanda & Belize, American Samoa & Samoa, DR Congo & Central African Republic, and Moldova & Belarus hosted joint national finals.
