Elaconese Melody Festival 1939

The Elaconese Melody Festival 1939 was the 37th edition of the Elaconese Melody Festival. The contest took place in Lyon, France, following their victory at the 1938 contest.

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

Eighteen countries participated in the contest. There were no returnees. Hungary withdrew in protest of Germany's expulsion, Yugoslavia and Poland withdrew due to internal issues, and Finland withdrew due to funding issues. The Soviet Union, alongside the soviet republics of Ukraine and Belarus, all withdrew as tensions rose across Europe. Because of the large amount of withdrawals and success of Australia, New Zealand was invited to debut.
