The Internatia Second Chance Contest 24 will be the 24th edition of the Internatia Second Chance Contest. The contest takes place in Manas, Gandhara, following Yulia Rutskaya's win in the 23rd edition with the song "Appak Suyuu".
Location
Gandhara, along with their national broadcaster RTG, will host the contest at the Massira Theater in the city of Manas. It will be the first time that the Internatia Second Chance Contest will be staged in Gandhara. Araz and Kazmi were also reportedly interested in hosting the contest, but both cities pulled out of the bidding phase as they were not able to meet the cost of the venue and promotion.
On 15 November 2015, RTG announced Manas as the host city for the contest.[1] Manas had two possible venues: the International Convention Center, that was also in the race to host the Outernatia Song Contest 9, and the Massira Theater. The contest will be held at the Massira Theater, which has an overall capacity of approximately 22,500 people.
Format
Eleven countries will participate, enough to use the traditional voting system. Each jury will give 12 points to the best song, 10 to the second best, then 8 to the third, and so forth until the tenth song receives a single point. The draw for running order was held on 28 November 2015 in Manas, with Grolskira opening the show and host country Gandhara performing last for a second consecutive time.[2] The contest is open to non-winning songs that participated in a national final. Even if a national final was cancelled, songs from that national final were eligible to enter. Also when a song won a national final, but hasn't been sent to a contest, the song can still participate, which was the case with Noxus' entry in the 21st edtion.
Tie-break rules
The official rules of the Internatia Song Contest will be followed. This means that in the event of more than one country scoring the same total number of points, a count is made of the numbers of countries who awarded points to each of the tied countries, and the one who received points from the most countries is placed above the other tied countries. If the numbers are still tied, the sets of maximum points (12 points) each country received are counted. If there is still a tie, the numbers of 10-point scores awarded are compared, and then the numbers of 8-point scores, all the way down the list. In the unlikely event that there is still a tie between two or more songs, the song that performed earliest in the running order is placed above the other tied songs.
Presenters
On 28 November 2015, the presenters of the contest were announced. The contest will be presented by Amr Mostafa, a singer and composer, and Wafaa El Kilany, a TV host who worked for important Arab TV channels.
Participants
Eleven countries will participate in the contest. Nicolas' Neighbour and Republica Libera withdrew from the contest, while Grolskira and Lettuce returned. Kaeros Islands, winner during their last participation in the 20th edition, and Kaledonii, who participated for the last time in the 21st edition, announed their return to the contest, but both countries didn't sent an entry before the deadline.
