Outernatia Song Contest

The Outernatia Song Contest 13 is the thirteenth and current edition of the Outernatia Song Contest. The Grand Final will take place in Pomar, RC Laranjeiras, following Oonagh's win in the 11th edition with the song "Eldamar".

A record breaking thirty-four countries will participate, with seven countries making their first appearance. Alteus and Hanzyuki have returned to the competition and, along with Zephyrus, have become the first Internatian nations to become full participants of the contest. Polland and Zeme Kūku, however, withdrew.

This is the first edition in which the show will consist of three contests (two semi-finals and the traditional grand final), as well as the first time that the shows will be held in three different cities and venues respectively.

Format

The new rules for the contest were released in July 2015, which detailed that thirty-five countries will participate, making it the largest number of participants to take part in the contest up to this point. On 13 August 2015, the draw for the running order for the semi-finals took place in Porto dos Ventos. All participating countries, excluding the host, were split into two pots, based on voting patterns from the previous editions. From these pots, 17 were allocated to compete in the first semi-final and 18 were allocated to compete in the second semi-final.

The pots were as follows:

Pot 1	Pot 2
Alteus Kimmystan Gebze DimkaRUS Monteverde Land of Jhe Freeh Dulcet Ebullience Victoria Zeme Kūku Aurävaan Pönö Xara Khanate Gandhara Hanzyuki Republica Libera Grolskira (guest)	Easterosia Ekotruka Cytrus Noxus Satoriland Thorway Auspikitan V Lettuce Darkria Zelmerlöwia Waticania Zephyrus Ponásikwa Fierce Raingate Sofós

Withdrawal of Zeme Kūku

During the semi-final allocation draw, several broadcasters complained about the introduction of semi-finals, although these changes had been approved by the Executive Committee and members of the Outernatian Broadcasting Union by a majority in July following the controversies that occurred during the voting procedures of Outernatia Song Contest 9 in Rhea, Gandhara and Outernatia Song Contest 10 in Anibal, Gebze. Consequently, Kūka Televīzija withdrew Zeme Kūku from the contest on 13 August. The OBU has yet to comment on the country's withdrawal.
