Globalvision Season 20

The 20th season of the Globalvision Song Contest, also known as "Globalvision 2X", which took place between November 2021 and January 2022. It's the first season to be held in three different parts, containing 2 phases with 33 entries each and a final with the same amount of entries. Despite having the same numbers of possible entries, a place in the final was not secured for any participant, which meant that some could have 2 entries in the final and some of them none.

Location
On the 18th of November, the winner of the previous season, @Marges, announced the venue of the 20th contest. Located near the capital city of Romania, Bucharest, we have the Therme București which is an exotic spa complex, with different sections and attractions to please its guests. The Palm section is where the 20th contest is going to take place.

Returning artists
In the first Phase of the season, only 2 returning artists appeared and both of them return after participating in season 15 before, those were Noa Kirel and Andromachi, who returned after reaching a 3rd position in that season.

In the second one another 2 entries were from returning artists, both of them appeared before in season 13 and they were the dutch group HAEVN and the argentinian singer Nathy Peluso.

Phase 1
Initially Ireland was meant to participate represented by @alsemanche, Denmark by @ororo munroe and Iceland by @NNES, but got changed prior to the draw reveal. Later @ororo munroe withdrew after choosing the Netherlands as a replacement for Denmark. Indonesia was also meant to appear represented by @RAMROD, but due to disqualification of the original entry for the United States, he took that country instead of @Bloody Grammys who chose Saudi Arabia as a replacement. Serbia and Morocco were disqualified for failing to send their votes, reducing the number of participants from 35 to 33.

Phase 2
Angola was briefly chosen by @Varys, but he switched to Portugal minutes later.

Uniqueness Award
For the full list of recipients of the award, see Uniqueness Award Due to the exceptional format of this season, the voting for the Uniqueness Award has been made 3 times, for both phases and the final. In Phase 1 alone, the winner was @Varys with his entry "(Houd Uw) Kanneke" performed by Laïs, while in Phase 2 there was a tie between @surejan's entry Poppy "Flower On The Mountain" performed by Zventa Sventana and @DesertWolf's entry "Never Change" performed by Apashe and YMIR. With the final voting the Uniqueness Award went to @DesertWolf breaking the tie of Phase 2, giving him his first Uniqueness Award.

Other participants

 * @blackstar anounced his withdrawal a day after the beginning of the season due to lack of time for the participation. He's expected to come back in the near future.
 * @SamanthaC decided to participate as a jury member again.
 * Despite initially confirming his participation representing the Netherlands, @ororo munroe anounced his withdrawal on the 24th of November, due to personal reasons. Days later, he asked to become a jury member.
 * @Towelney and @Aleks were disqualified after not sending their Phase 1 votes on time, making them also ineligible to compete in the second phase. They represented Morocco and Serbia respectively, the first one with the song "Young & Rude" by ABIR and, the second one, with "Nirvana" by Zoi.

Incoherent final voting
In the aftermath of the final ceremony, there were complaints regarding some votes from participants who clearly sent a different set of points that didn't match their initial votes for both phases prior to the final. This led to a win for an entry that didn't even score in the top 3 in its semifinal, being one of the 2 songs that gained points compared to their results in the semifinal phases.
