Line 271:
Since the first edition, the winning country is automatically awarded the rights to host the next edition. The host broadcaster of the country will then need to decide any format changes, the theme, slogan amongst other jobs, with additional input from the FBA. If a host broadcaster is not able to host, the runner-up or FBA can come in to help. However, the contest would still be hosted in the winning country.
=== New format ===
On July 3rd, a new format is introduced: a limit of spots will be increased from 53 to 54; in each semifinal 8 countries will qualify for he grand final instead of 7, meaning that starting with the [[Fantasia Contest 29|twenty-ninth edition]] there will be 30 finalists.
=== The "Big 5" ===

In the first edition, only the host country made it to the final, but in the following editions the top 5 of each edition would automatically have the right to participate in the final of the next edition, without having to go through the semi-finals once again. Two exceptions to this rule have been made: in the [[Fantasia Contest 11|eleventh edition]] only four countries were automatically qualified after [[Te Ao in the Fantasia Contest|Te Ao]] withdrew; in the [[Fantasia Contest 13|thirteenth]] and [[Fantasia Contest 16|sixteenth]] editions six countries were automatically qualified due to a mishap in the voting process of the previous edition.
However, the [[Fantasia Contest 29|twenty-ninth edition]] will be the first edition since the [[Fantasia Contest 16|sixteenth]] edition, where six countries will qualify for the grand final.
Several countries have been automatic qualifiers over the editions, including [[Flírskmasto in the Fantasia Contest|Flírskmasto]], who has done so nine times (Flírskmasto also gained all automatic qualifications from 23rd to 27th editions); [[Fordia in the Fantasia Contest|Fordia]] and [[Demacia in the Fantasia Contest|Demacia]]who have done so seven times; [[Alkyria in the Fantasia Contest|Alkyria]], , [[Dýria in the Fantasia Contest|Dýria]] and [[Evergreen in the Fantasia Contest|Evergreen]], who has done so six times; [[Aquia in the Fantasia Contest|Aquia]] who have done so five times; [[Danskanksova in the Fantasia Contest|Danskanksova]], [[Frootania in the Fantasia Contest|Frootania]], [[Lanovina in the Fantasia Contest|Lanovina]] and [[Torlova in the Fantasia Contest|Torlova]], who have done so four times; [[Hwaesonna in the Fantasia Contest|Hwaesonna]], [[Jarea in the Fantasia Contest|Jarea]], [[Lakadamia in the Fantasia Contest|Lakadamia]], [[Namimori in the Fantasia Contest|Namimori]], [[Niolskiaj in the Fantasia Contest|Niolskiaj]], [[Trivania in the Fantasia Contest|Trivania]] and [[United States of Eldance in the Fantasia Contest|United States of Eldance]], who have all done so thrice.
