Sondriavision Song Contest 2020

The Sondriavision Song Contest 2020 was the 10th edition of the Sondriavision Song Contest. The contest was set to be held on February 11-15 2020, in Orience, following the country's victory at the 2019 contest in Kimberly, Great Scorria. Growing concerns regarding the coronavirus outbreak have led to a downscaling of the event to just fifteen participants and one final.

Coronavirus issues

A strain of coronavirus with cases in Kaizhung, Cantonia, Lenapore, Tangwa, Orience and others has led to a safety warning, stating that people entering the venue will need to be disinfected.

• Persia: At present, there are no plans for Persia to return to the contest. A complete order of withdrawal "for the time being" was issued in January 2020, following political tension with the United States. While the contest was marginally popular, the Daehanian songs were attractive to the locals.
• Porowon: The Media Corporation of Porowon has announced its withdrawal from the Sondrian Broadcasting Union in May, due to the ongoing political crisis, and participating in the previous edition was considered a risk due to the escalation of tension of the Porowon-Great Scorria relations.
