Globalvision Season 21

The 21st season of the Globalvision Song Contest, also known as "Globalvision: The Emperor", that began to take place in August 2022, with a pre-sign up for selected members on the first day of the month and an official sign-up on the 8th.

Theme
This season is fully inspired by tarot cards. The logo was designed by @Glittertinks by petition of the host.

Location
The venue was revealed after kicking off with the new thread for this season. After an initial announcement of a joke venue in the woods, it was confirmed by @Nuggets, the winner of the season 20 final, that the event was going to be hosted at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy. With a capacity of over 70,000 spectators, it became the biggest venue to host a Globalvision final so far, it is also the first stadium to do so.

Participating countries
Russia was initially chosen by @Marges, Indonesia by @doraemon, and Bahrain was meant to debut thanks to @Sofianer but eventually got also replaced. Armenia shortly replaced Denmark, but the choice was reverted on the same day.

Returning artists
Highasakite were the first returning artists to be announced, they represented Norway previously in season 5, making it the biggest gap between two participations with 15 seasons in between.
