Season 13

General Information
Welcome back to the NEW ERA of the Doubled Song Contest! We've been on a long break with our Seasons but we have not left the competition universe! We're back to deliver more great editions 💖🔥 After we organized the amazing DOSC-Version of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in April and crowned Sweden as the winner of the competition, we still did not continue with an original season but the wait is over! We've had one big grand final of a new, fresh season that took place on the 9th of June 2021 in Oslo, Norway - after the win of PVRIS in Season 12 in Kiev, Ukraine! The thirteenth edition of the Doubled Song Contest was held under the Slogan "New Era" as a new beginning of hopefully amazing editions in the future!

Due to the long break we lost some participants but we'll happy to continue with a tinier amount of countries and MAYBE we will extend the limit in future editions again, but for now we feel pretty comfortable with only having one big grand final with the maximum limit of 28 countries participating in a DOSC-Final 💞 This maximum was also reached in this edition! For the first time ever in the Doubled Song Contest history (for normal editions) we allowed that the two songs participating don't need to be performed by the same artist and therefore some combinations of songs in different genres and styles were easily possible for every competing country. This rule won't be continued in all the future seasons but could be part of some special seasons to make the process and the diversity of the contest even more interesting. We do not want to lose the special task to search for one amazing artist who represents the country with two songs tho. It was the main idea how the contest was created and will therefore always be a part of this project but isn't necessarily obligated to stay for every season.

Season 13 included the following Mystery Countries: Canada, India, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, United States & Uzbekistan! This Edition we've had the fourth appearance of Brooke in the competition, after she represented Malta three times in a row in Season 2, Season 3 & Season 4 with incredible results. She managed to win the Semi twice and placed 2nd, 5th and 6th overall. She performed together with Janice Mangion, who also already competed for Malta in Season 7 placing 9th in the Grand Final. They scored 71 points placing 23rd in this season. Moreover Rūta Loop came back to represent Lithuania for the third time! She was joined by the debutants Alekna & Otreya.

In the end, United Kingdom represented by London Grammar & Celeste with the songs "Lose Your Head" & "Stop This Flame" won with 297 Points, followed by Russia (represented by Polnalyubvi) with 270 Points! It was the second attempt of London Grammar to score a great result for the United Kingdom after she non-qualified in Season 6 and placed 11th in Semi-Final 2, closely missing out the final. United Kingdom is one of the participating countries that competed in every edition of the Doubled Song Contest and it is the second time that they managed to win the competition (after Adele's win in Season 10). There was a big gap of 83 points between the runner-up and the 3rd place. France placed 3rd with 187 Points. The best Mystery Country of this Season was New Zealand, getting 4th place with 181 Points.
