Own Asiavision Song Contest

Own Asiavision Song Contest 25, often referred to as OASC #25, is the 25th edition of Own Asiavision Song Contest. It took place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, following G5SH and Lily's win in the 24th edition with the song "Limelights". It was the second time Taiwan had hosted the contest, having previously done so in the ninth edition. Organised by the Own Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union and host broadcaster Taiwan Television, the contest was held at the Kaohsiung Arena, and consisted of two semi-finals and the final. The three live shows were hosted by Abao.

A total of forty-eight countries participated in the contest. French Polynesia and Tonga returned to the competition, while Hong Kong, Mongolia, New Zealand, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Vanuatu withdrew for various reasons.

The winner was Oman with the song "Let Me Know" performed by No Wyld. This was country's first victory, as well as top 10 placement. The podium was completed by United Arab Emirates and Iraq, which achieved its best result. Japan, Palestine and Pakistan, the latest one also equaling its best result, rounded up the top 6. Tuvalu managed to achieve a new best result after qualifying for the first time and placing 18th in the final. Kiribati also achieved their best result to date, despite failing to qualify to the final, placing 15th in the semi-final. The host nation Taiwan finished on the 13th place, being also the best scoring automatic qualifier of the edition. The edition marked the first time that French Polynesia failed to qualify for the final.

Semi-final Allocation Draw[edit]

The draw to determine the allocation of the participating countries into their respective semi-finals took place on 14 February 2021. The first part of the draw determined in which semi-final the Big Six would have to vote. The second part of the draw decided in which half of the respective semi-finals each country would perform, with the exact running order determined by the producers of the show at a later date. Twenty-one countries participated in each semi-final. From each semi-final, ten countries joined the "Big 6" in the final, where a total of twenty-six countries participated.

The forty-two semi-finalists were allocated into six pots, based on their geographical place and cultural similarities. Drawing from different pots helps in reducing the chance of so-called neighbour voting and increasing suspense in the semi-finals. Each time a country was drawn from the pot, its semi-final and half of the semi-final was determined.

The six pots were the following:

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3
Pot 4 Pot 5 Pot 6
