OpenSound Competiton 28 (OSC 28) was twenty-eighth contest in the history of OpenSound. The last winner (Ireland) was the host of this season and it was the third time for this celtic island to host the competition (including Season 17 hosted by Northern Ireland). Calm design of the season was supported by calm and deep participating entries. The winning song was chosen by online-voting in the participating countries.
The type of contest system was traditional: after the Qualification Stage (First Day and Second Day) there were Final and Superfinal Stages. Jokers were excluded due to new voting system presented in Final Stage of OSC RoW 4.
Logo[]
In 28-th season flags appeared in dandelion. Design was stylized to express calm atmosphere of Ireland and late autumn season. Main color used in design is brown and supports main theme. This logo was made by Kiryl Mazitau (Kirill Mazitov) in a collaboration with Daniyar Sharipov.
Interval acts[]
All acts were chosen by producers of the contest and by host party (Tatiyana Salnikova). They represented irish pop scene from late 90s to the hit of 2016.

Since 4-th Season the musician experts choose every Season their favourites. And Since 5-th Season their selection became known as Press Award. Also was intoduced Identity Award which can be given to best entry in local language (not in English). Return Award to the returning artist which presents the best one song by the jury meaning. And the last Leader Award is given to the country that reached the biggest amount of 12 points.
