For more information about the 202nd contest and the actual show go to the thread.


The Waiting List Song Contest 202 was the 202nd edition of the Waiting List Song Contest. After the series of meetings, Arkodrë, winners of the 201st edition, declined to host the show, as the Arkodrian public broadcaster could not fund an international production, and the Arkodrian government turned down a request to extend the broadcaster's budget. However Arkodrë have confirmed their intent to participate and they even have held a national selection to determine their representative.

It was to be determined if the contest would take place in second placed Solentoya, third placed Svobodnia or a volunteer nation. Sol TV chairman said that "Solentoya wasn't expecting the hosting job to be coming their way but the funding was available” and that they “were willing to host."

Arva, Il-Bidu and Svobodnia withdrew, with Arkodrian and New Banderish confirmations coming late after the deadline.

Although they were not participating, Svobodnia was allowed to vote; Oussou Empire failed to vote and thus has been disqualified. In the end, New Bander State won the show with 104 points, with Solentoya following in second and Effiland in third place.

Promotion

With the decision to hold the contest in Adriana, Sol TV promoted the show as the exclusive brand and the host city itself as "the playground of Natias most richest and most famous". Key words in the campaign were luxury, sun, and extravagance. Ads with captions "So put on your best Luis Vuittons, grab your in season Prada bag and make your way on over for a glass of Gout de Diamants Champagne and a spectacle to dumfound you all" were aired throughout Natia.

As the first three countries to confirm their entries, the delegations of Moisantia, Neajlovia & Griffin Empire got to stay in the penthouse suites of 3 of Adriana's most exclusive hotels free of charge. Typically such suites average at §15,000 a night.

Results

The competition was opened by Oussou Empire and closed by Arkodrë. After the official results several awards have been awarded - the highest scoring male singer and the most 12 points went to New Bander State; the highest scoring female singer went to Solentoya, the highest score without 12 points went to Bigicia, entry with lowest score and 12 points went to Szimbaya Kingdom and entry with highest numbers of voters went to Effiland.
