The Country Contest 7 was the seventh edition of the contest. It featured the return of the semi-finals and revelation of split voting results. It is the contest with the most amount of withdrawals, with 19 countries leaving the competition; six being permanent members. Although several countries managed to make the top four, the CCU stated that it would take time to process their application into the CCU.
