Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 33, also known as ESCT 33, is the thirty-third edition of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. The contest was held at the Gatorade Center, in Turku, Finland, for the second time in the history of the country, following Finland's victory at the 32nd edition in Bergen with the song "Dig Deep", performed by Lxandra, with 196 points. The show was hosted by the current winner Lxandra and the former Finnish representative Jenni Vartiainen.

Forty-five countries officially confirmed their participation in the 33rd edition of the contest. A total of five countries returned to the contest Czech Republic, Italy, Luxembourg, Macedonia and Netherlands. However, three countries confirmed their withdrawl, Spain decided to withdraw due to the poor results from last editions, while Turkey was banned from participating this edition for not voting on time in the previous one. Switzerland was the only country who didn't give any explanation of their decision.

Once again, due to the decreasing number of participant countries, the Pre-Semifinal Round (PSR) didn't take place this edition.

Minelli from Romania was the thirty-third winner of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged with the song My Heart with a total of 156 points. United Kingdom finishing in second place and Israel finishing in third place.

Logo and theme

The official logo of the thirty-third edition of the contest.

The logo of the thirty-third edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged was designed by Alex Ramírez the main producer of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. Finland is a country located in Northern Europe and belongs to one of the nearest regions of the Article circle, and for this reason the executive producers wanted to base the logo on this aspect. Being so close to the Artic circle, makes this country enjoy many sunlight hours even in the night, that is the real explanation of the slogan "Land of Midnight Sun". The main logo is a new reproduction of the sun along with some triangles trying to represent the ice and also with a dot waves background representing the hundreds of lakes from Finland.

Incidents

Blockvoting proposal by Montenegro

After the semi-final results, the Montenegrin HoD decided to put some stuff out there when they felt that their country and the Balkan countries were being discriminated. He called out several countries, among them Andorra, Ukraine, Israel, Estonia, Greece and Hungary, for sending generic, overused stuff and being overrated whatever type of song they send, while the Balkans get punished whenever they send something with a Balkan flavor. The Montenegrin HoD then invited the Balkans and a few other countries to boycott next edition and proceed to block vote between them the next one. The response was immediate after this type of event.

A few countries, like Iceland, Slovenia and Bulgaria, showed interest in a boycott and on Montenegro's proposal. However, the purposal was met with huge backlash, specially after the Slovakian HoD translated the post so that more fans and delegations around the world could read it. Estonian HoD was shown extremely offended, arguing that the Estonian music industry is very small and that they brought diversity to the contest by puting in effort and they still didn't qualify at times. Croatian HoD communicated that though they are a Balkan country, they do not agree or will colaborate with either of the Montenegrin proposals. Lithuanian HoD full out critized the Montenegrin one saying that if he isn't happy with the contest he should withdraw. The Belarusian one also spoke up, saying the Balkan argument is a lost cause and that people don't vote against the country but rather against the style of music, finishing saying that the contest is meant to unite and to spread fun around Europe.

In the end the TBU was shown to be highly offended by the rule breaking proposed and said thst there are better ways to prevent favoritism, and that they could discuss this, and that the Montenegrin speech would not benefit them, in fact, would probably prejudice the balkans. It is uncertain how everything is gonna turn out, except that Estonia and Montenegro have cut bonds permanently.
