From these pots, 17 were allocated to compete in the first semi-final and 17 were allocated to compete in the second semi-final.

The pots were as follows:

Withdrawal of Zeme Kūku

During the allocation ceremony, several broadcasters complains about the introduction of semi-finals even this changes was approved by the Executive Comitee and the full members of the Outernatian Broadcasting Union by majority two months ago, after incidents in the voting procedure during the Outernatia Song Contest 9 in Rhea, Gandhara. As a consequence, Kūka Televīzija withdrew Zeme Kūku from the contest on 13 August. The OBU never made a comment about the country's withdrawal.
