Globalvision Season 23

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.
