Contest Overview
Semi-fianl allocation draw
The draw to determine which semi-finals each non-automatic qualifier country would compete in took place on the 20th of December, 2025. The 36 semi final participants were spread across 5 pots based on their delegates voting history. The pot allocation was made internally, thus the Pots are currently unavailable.
Semi-Final 1
18 countries were set to compete in Semi-Final 1, however, due to the Norwegian delegation failing to vote, only 17 competing nations voted in this semi. Those 17 nations plus Japan, Kazakhstan, and Spain casted their votes for this semi. 10 countries qualified for the grand finale, with Indonesia moving on to the wildcard round.
Norway was disqualified for never voting, however, the results remain unaffected as they wouldn't qualify regardless.
