NoNonsense Song Contest Edition 1

Introduction
The first NoNonsense Song Contest was held from July to October 2020 on YouTube. The host country was decided as Finland and the capital city, Helsinki, became the host city. Krista Siegfrids, Saara Aalto and Erika Vikman hosted the contest, despite not being publicly seen throughout the contest.

Winner
Ukraine was the winning country, with Tumany by Anastasiya Baginska being the winner. Romania, Moldova, Poland and Portugal rounded out the top 5. Denmark finished in dead last with a mere 10 points in SF2.

Format
The first edition was unique, because it was an Ideal Eurovision contest. Each country's participant was selected with a digital battle, held every 2 days from 03-July to 02-October. The contest then began in the following days. The top 10 qualified from each semifinal and they joined the Big 5 and host country Finland in the final. There was no second chance round.

Participating Countries
47 countries participated at the first NNSC. Each had their own battle which showcased two songs from the country that were released from 2018 onwards (with the special exception of Azerbaijan as approved by the NNBU). All the participants are members of the EBU apart from Australia and Kazakhstan, who are allowed to participate.

Each battle lasted 2 days and the winner would go on to the contest. Battle losers were allowed to participate in future editions, as seen in edition 2 with Kazakhstan.

Partway through battle season, a poll was released to decide which country would debut in edition 2. The candidates were: Andorra, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Morocco. Andorra was the winner of the poll and they debuted. All are set to debut at some point.
