Elaconese Melody Festival 1921

The Elaconese Melody Festival 1921 was the 19th edition of the Elaconese Melody Festival. The contest took place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, following their victory at the 1920 contest. The grand final was held on 7 May 1921 and consisted of no semi-finals. Twenty-two countries participated in the contest, the most to date. Lithuania debuted and Germany returned after withdrawing in the 1915 contest.

Organisation
Marie Badeaux and Peter Hijneman retook their respective positions, with previous Dutch coordinator Stijn Westerink returning. It was decided to host in the capital city, Amsterdam.

22 countries participated in the contest - a new record. Germany returned after previously participating in 1914 - officially as the Weimar Republic. Lithuania debuted following Estonia's participation in the previous edition. Latvia again issued a statement planning on participating but did not submit an entry.

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.
