Associate members

 * The Åland Islander population is glad to return to the contest after being robbed of their rightful spot in the contest. The HoD is very upset the Åland Islands does not get a full membership and can not borrow from Sweden or Finland even though more populous countries like all of the countries that are allowed to borrow but in the end better something than nothing and the Åland Islands does not have a complete lack of talent.
 * BBC Guernsey have decided to join the Associate Broadcasters list. As there is such high interests in the contest among Giernesi audiences in some editions ago, they will broadcast the full show of Own Eurovision Song Contest for the first time.
