OpenSound Competiton 22 (OSC 22) was twenty-second contest in the history of OpenSound. The last winner (Liechtenstein) was the host of this season and it was the 1-st time for german region. It was announced that Balzers will be the venue of the competition. The winning song was chosen by online-voting in the participating countries.
The type of contest system was traditionall: after the Qualification Stage (First Day and Second Day) there were Final and Superfinal Stages. But for the first time 3 jokers were chosen in every Qualification Stage.
Logo[]
In 22-nd season flags appeared again in the stars. Design is not based on anything connected to Liechtenstein itself. Design looks fresh and modern. On the blue background there are coloured (mostly yellow and jade) triangles and pyramides. This logo was made by Kirill Mazitov.
Interval acts[]
All the interval acts were chosen by host of this season - Alexander Kulikov. They represented swiss and german musical industry.
In Qualification Stage First day swiss artist TinkaBelle performed her song "Stay On". The season was started with just a medley-pop song.
In Qualification Stage Second Day burlesque diva Dita Von Teese represented together with duo 'Alex Swings Oscar Sings!' their Eurovision entry "Miss Kiss Kiss Band". This song represented Germany in Eurovision 2009 in Moscow.
And in Final Stage local pop star and heartbreaker Bastian Baker performed his most famous song of 2011 - "I'd Sing For You" though music video for this song was recorded only in the start of 2013.
