Logo
The logo is created by Collin Wilson a famous creator from Ariana Kingdom. It symbolise the feelings when u listen to music. It was released on the 30 December 2019.

Slogan
"Fight For The Music " is chosen by the broadcaster for the reason that we shouldn't let music down,but to keep it and fight for it to people that don't want music in the society.

Theme song
The theme song for this edition is " This One's For You " sang by Zara Larsson and composed by David Guetta. Musiclandia want with this song that the countries that compete show brotherhood and concord. They wanted to send a peace message in these dark times of the rise of extreme right-wing parties. In some countries this is the reason to withdraw from this contest, sad enough.

Hosts
Lena orginally comes from Kucura but after here second place in Plastics Song Contest 20 she was asked to host in Musiclandia. She is gratefull for this chance and want that this contest is again for non - participating countries. The choice for Lena was that with here they showed that the contest is more international.

Wincent Weiss is a 26 year - old singer and model from Musiclandia. His big dream was to represent Musiclandia In the Plastics Song Contest. For him this is also a great dream and to taste how the contest is. He still wants to represent the country and see this to a chance to achieve that goal. He is also very honoured to do this and is going to make the best of it.

They are going to switch from greenroom to stage.
