17 is a nice amount, would've been better to have more returning countries like Kazakhstan (although not sure anymore if they'll ever return considering they didn't broadcast last years contest and not among tv schedule for this year either) or Lithuania, would've also made sense for Switzerland to mark its return after winning the adult eurovision, some countries did that after such win in the adult version (like Portugal or Israel)


or a debuting country like Iceland would've also been nice but maybe some other year

great slogan and lovely design too


wonder who will ''bloom'' the most this year



as for San Marino entry, very likely a child with rich parents who pay for their participation, but not sure whom
