Contest 9

Contest 9 was the ninth edition of Contest, hosted in Gdańsk, Poland after Banks' win with her song "Gemini Feed" in Marseille. Lacie and Sub withdrew, while Duunow and Simon took their places.

Six countries made their first appearance this edition, being Brazil, Chile, Hungary, Luxembourg, Malta and Portugal. The other five spots were filled by France, who by now had a participation streak of eight editions, host country Poland and South Korea who decided to stay in the contest, and England and Netherlands who both last appeared in edition 6. Notable about this edition is the amount of European countries, as Brazil, Chile and South Korea were the only non-European countries to participate. This was the first edition with more than one South American country participating. This edition saw the debut of the Hungarian, Polish and Portuguese language.

In the end, Hungary won Contest 9 with 70 points with Ohnody's song "Hideg", nine points ahead of runner-up Portugal. The podium was completed by France for the second time in a row. Brazil took last place. This was the first time a song in Hungarian had won the contest.
