Globalvision Season 24

The 23rd season of the Globalvision Song Contest is expected to begin on the 14th of May, right after the Eurovision final, with a special early reveal of the first 4 participating countries in the newly created forum for the contest, although the game is still expected to be hosted mainly on Gagadaily. An early sign up was opened on the 1st of May.

Location
Following the tradition, the Globalvision winner gets the right to choose the venue of the next one, in this case that duty was appointed to @alsemanche. Despite him choosing to represent the United States for this season, it was still Sweden the country appointed to host, as it was the one that won the previous season. The venue was finally announced on the 16th of May, The Royal Hall of the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.

Participating countries
Mali was meant to be part of the contest, but its representant @Florian gave up on it, later getting to play with France, which was initially granted to @SwissMonster, who got Switzerland after @DiamondKing agreed to switch to Kazakhstan. Algeria was meant to debut brought by @Candy Gaga although he had to switch to Morocco. Tunisia was also expected to debut, it was @FameMonster01 who was in charge of sending its first entry, but sadly it was rejected as the artist chosen to represent the country wasn't actually from it.

Returning artists
Lola Marsh return to represent Israel after appearing already in season 16, they were previously sent by @Dutch and reached a 6th placement. Lana Jurčević already appeared in season 6, brought back then by @blackstar and scored a 20th placement; with her return after 16 seasons, she broke the previous record for longest gap between participations, held by Highasakite.

DUDA BEAT was the first returning artist announced on the 2nd day of reveals, she already appeared in season 20 but, sadly, didn't manage to reach the final. ANTONIA was announced right after the brazilian returnee, she also appeared in season 20 although, in this case, she managed to reach the final where she scored a 29th placement.

Mon Laferte was the last artist to be revealed on day 3 and the only returning one announced on that day. She already appeared twice in the past, the first time in season 3, representing Mexico, and in season 9 representing Chile. Her double nationality made it possible for her to represent both countries in the past, although, under the current rules, she will be allowed to compete for Chile only from now on.

Aitana was the last returning artist to be announced. She already represented Spain twice in the game, in season 13 and in season 18, scoring a 20th position in her first attempt and a 36th in the second.

Final
Colombia was initially drawn at 29th position, but was later disqualified.
