Kuwianish Stars 5
Kuwianish Stars 5 was the fifth edition of the Kuwianish music festival, Kuwianish Stars, organized by KBS to select Kuwiang's entry for the 36th Fantasia Contest. The show was held on 19 August 2024 at the Muang Yang Arena, located in the capital city of Muang Yang.
Format[edit]
The six competing songs were performed in the final, and the song that received the most points from the international juries would represent Kuwiang in the 36th Fantasia Contest.
Competing entries[edit]
On 2 June 2024, KBS launched an online platform for artists and composers to submit their entries for a national competition. The submission period remained open until 30 June 2024, and interested parties had no specific requirements to meet. This process was open to all artists and songwriters without any particular restrictions, allowing for a diverse range of musical styles and genres. In total, 83 submissions were received by the deadline. An eight-member jury panel was then assembled to evaluate the submissions and select the top six entries that would advance to the national final.
Among the acts, MXFRUIT has previously competed in the third edition of the Kuwianish Stars, placing second.
For the first time, entries in the Bali, Hailiniese, and Samskrta languages were included in this edition.
