Contest Details and Format:

*Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its far reaching consequences, the show for this year's Ereide eu le Cançe Scotatrofina has been altered drastically. For one, the date has been shifted so that this year's contest will run from Monday December 28 through to January 28th, with the winner being revealed on February 1st. This is opposed to the usual August air time that had happened anually. The city of Ursand, in line with health guidelines from the local municipal health department, Santia state government and Scotatrovian government, will not allow any audience for the Group or Final performances. Each entrant will only be allowed on stage at one time with their designated delegation.*

The contest will consist with four group stages, and one final. Each of the groups will consist of eight entrants each. Every week, one group will perform at a time. Starting Monday, the group performances will be revealed, concluding on Thursday. Friday will see the voting for the group begin. Voters will have a total of 24 hours to cast their vote, ending on Saturday of that week. Sunday will see the vote results calculated and which states will make it to the final. Only half of each group will advance to the final, meaning that only four entrants will advance, bearing a final show of 16 out of a group stage of 32. For the final week, the format is the same, with some alterations to the voting system to take into account the larger breadth of performers.
