Globalvision Season 17

The 17th season of the Globalvision Song Contest, named as The Globalvision Spectacular, which started on the 20th of December 2020 with its official thread being opened 2 days prior that date with no previous announcement. The first songs were revealed on the 29th of that month, followed by other 3 separate release days (instead of 8 release days like in the previous season), bringing back the random draw selection and also the reveal of songs made by the host instead of participants themselves.

Initially, 38 entries are expected to take part, although the number already went down after the first day of song reveals. Despite being an African country the current winner and host of this season, there's no country from Africa participating.

Location
On the day of the start of the season, @Archie announced the final venue for the contest, just like the previous winners did in the previous two contests. He chose the Gran Teatro Cervantes in Tangier, Morocco; an old spanish theater under reconstruction. Other considered venues were not revealed.

Returning artists
Sevdaliza was the first and only returning artist in this season. She previously appeared during season 14 representing the Netherlands, so the fact that she was chosen to represent Iran this time, brought some controversy.

Final
Serbia was meant to participate at 25th place before withdrawing.

Other participants
@Doot got banned on the forum shortly after season 16 took place, meaning that his next participations are unlikely to happen.

@kvnrp once again decided to participate as a jury member, as he couldn't get his main options to participate.

@SamanthaC is also expected to participate as a jury member.

@Aleks withdrew from the game for personal reasons, despite confirming initial participation. He was meant to represent Serbia once again.
