19 countries participated in the contest. the Ottoman Empire did plan to debut once again but didn't. Greece returned to the contest despite the ongoing Balkan Wars which saw the participation of many Balkan countries impossible.

Each country would give separate countries 1-8, 10 and 12 points through a professional jury and a set of the public. The results would be combined to give their final results. You can not vote for your own country.
