Redditvision Song Contest 16 was the seventeenth edition of the Redditvision Song Contest. It was hosted in Castries, Saint Lucia, due to Germany not being able to host the succeeding edition after their win with the song "No Roots".
This edition consisted of three semi-finals and one grand final. Each delegate voted in their own semi-final, with two AQ delegates voting in each semi-final. Every country then voted in the grand final.
The live show begun on March 25th, 2018. On March 26th, 2018, the winner of the contest was revealed to be Australia with the song "Go Bang", and performed by PNAU (ft. Kira Divine).
Visual design
The host's admiration for flowers served as the inspiration for the theme. The logo featured multiple layers of roses in various colors, reminiscent of looking at a rose bouquet from above. Each rose delicately placed on top of one another created a mesmerizing and intricate composition. Against the backdrop of a black background, small fluttering stars added a touch of enchantment and whimsy. The recaps were made by u/Spooky_Squid.
Participants
Fifty-five countries participated in the contest. Vanuatu failed to vote in the given time frame of the semi-finals, and Luxembourg and Singapore failed to vote in the given time frame of the grand finals.
