Elaconese Melody Festival 1938

The Elaconese Melody Festival 1938 was the 36th edition of the Elaconese Melody Festival. The contest took place in London, United Kingdom, following their victory at the 1937 contest.

Due to the low amount of competing countries, no semi-finals took place.

Twenty-four countries participated in the contest. There were no returnees or debutants. Czechoslovakia withdrew after political instability of the time, Luxembourg withdrew due to budget cuts, and Romania withdrew due to money issues and bad results. Germany was originally slated to take part but was expelled following the Anschluss of Austria in March 1938.
