Elaconese Melody Festival 1922

The Elaconese Melody Festival 1922 was the 20th edition of the Elaconese Melody Festival. The contest took place in Frankfurt, Germany, following their victory at the 1921 contest.

The grand final was held on 29 April 1922 and consisted of no semi-finals. Twenty-three countries participated in the contest, the most to date. Latvia debuted, and Romania and Luxembourg returned to the contest.

Organisation
Marie Badeaux and Peter Hijneman retook their respective positions, with previous German Friedrich Keiner returning. It was decided to host in Frankfurt, one of the largest cities and least hit by damages.

25 countries participated in the contest - a new record. Latvia finally debuted in the contest after a long delay. Luxembourg and Romania both returned to the contest. It did set off alarm bells that if many more countries wanted to participate, there would have to be a process to limit the amount of countries participating in shows.

Rules in place to limit the spread of the Spanish Flu remained in place. 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 are not allowed to vote for your own country. No language restricted rules would be imposed.
