Redditvision Song Contest 56 was the fifty-sixth ordinary and sixty-first overall edition of the Redditvision Song Contest. It was hosted by u/colexerus in Esbjerg, Denmark following their win in the preceding edition with the song "PIRATE RADIO*" by Jean Dawson. This was the first time u/colexerus hosted the contest, and the third time hosted in Denmark following edition 2 and edition 18 when it was hosted by respectively u/ShellEase and u/bvsil in Copenhagen.

The winner was Thailand and u/Chickflopia with the song "Fragile" by Laufey.

Format

Theme and visual design

The winning entry for Edition 55, "PIRATE RADIO*", inspired the nautical theme, visual design, and the slogan, "Set Sail", for the edition. The theme centers around the fictitious "Esbjerg Seafarer’s Feast" which was the result of the win of an unnamed seafarer in the aptly named "Festivities at the Glass Casino of Apia", a reference to the last theme's edition. Within this fictitious feast are four parts which correspond to a particular phase of a typical edition, namely: "the RSVP period" for the country claims, the "Musical Soirée" for the song submissions and national final phase, the "Promenade" for the semi-final phase, and the "Esbjerg Grand Gala" for the grand final phase respectively.

First promo announcing country claims

A storyline was also present for the promotion of this edition. This features the unnamed seafaring protagonist, wishing to invite royals from all around the world to join the Esbjerg Seafarer's Feast, as seen in the Captain's Log posted in the subreddit. The announcement for the Country Claims came in a form of an invitation letter; with the letter itself making an appearance as a promotional image.

The Viking longship was used in the logo in homage to the Viking culture present in Denmark during the early first millennium. This longship is situated upon the stars and the moon, corresponding to the traditional sailor's devotion to the moon and stars as a form of a map of sorts. The longship is flying, with the clouds replacing the ocean as a loving homage to Peter Pan.

Edition premiere

Second promo announcing the edition premiere

The edition premiere, also known as the Promenade Premiere, was introduced in this edition. The premiere is essentially a collection of recaps from every semi and the automatic qualifiers, with the running order and songs being revealed as the recaps go on.

Originally meant to be held in CyTube on November 13th, 2022, at 7:00 PM CET, the premiere was delayed to 8:45 PM CET and was held in the official Discord server due to technical difficulties. As a consequence, the semi-final started one day later than planned.

Participants

A total of 66 users participated in this edition, with an additional 5 users in the waitlist. u/byoat was the only debuting user.

National finals

In total, thirteen different national finals were hosted: Philippines, Yemen, Portugal, Cyprus, Belgium, Japan, American Samoa, and Seychelles all hosted one on their own. Furthermore, Libya & Algeria, Kazakhstan & Maldives, Egypt & Montserrat, Belarus & Russia, and Falkland Islands & Kiribati hosted joint national finals.
