The Outernatia Song Contest 9 was the 9th edition of the Outernatia Song Contest. The contest took place in Rhea, Gandhara, following Myriam Fares's win in the 7th edition with the song "Aman". The contest was held on 31 May 2015 at the Minna Theater, and was presented by Rita Hayek and Malek Maktabi.
A record breaking twenty-one countries participated, with six countries making their first appearance, and Xara Khanate returning. Monteverde, however, withdrew with no further statements given by their broadcaster TVM.
After a tense voting process, Noxus won the contest for the first time, with Lilit Hovhannisyan's song "De El Mi". Noxus received only one point more than Ponásikwa, the smallest margin between a winning and a second-place song to date. V became third.
Location
On 31 March 2015, Gandhari public broadcaster RTG announced that it had chosen Rhea as the host city for the contest. The contest will be held at the Minna Theater, which hosted several editions of the Gandhari national preselection Nights of Gandhara. It has an overall capacity of approximately 17,000 people.[1]
Bidding phase
Two other cities, Manas and Kazmi, were also considered as possible host city of the contest. RTG requested proposals from the three cities concerning how they plan to organise the contest. Manas offered to host the contest in the International Convention Center, while Kazmi offered the Javeria Theater as a potential venue for the contest. The bid from Kazmi came together with plans to expand and upgrade the facility and surrounding infrastructure to meet the requirements set by host broadcaster RTG. The bids from Manas and Kazmi, together with the bid from Rhea to host the contest in the Minna Theater, were accepted. RTG ultimately chose the Minna Theater as the venue to stage the contest.
Participants
Six countries made their debut this edition, the highest number of debutants since the first edition. Returning to the contest was Xara Khanate, who did not compete the previous edition. Monteverde withdrew from the contest. The deadline to apply to participate was on 2 May 2015.[2]
Invitation of Tikata
On 2 April 2015, RTG announced that it had invited Tikata to take part in the contest, represented by A+ channel, an Associate Member of the OBU.[3] Although Tikata is officially not eligible to enter, as only Outernatian countries can take part, the OBU accepted the participation of Tikata as a one-off event in honour of the strong ties between Tikata and Outernatia.[4]
