Chummervision Song Contest Summer 2016

The Chummervision Song Contest Summer 2016 will be the 10th edition of the bi-annual Chummervision Song Contest. It will be hosted in the Harbingean Provinces following Caravan Palace's win for the country in the Winter 2016 contest. It will be the last official bi-annual edition of the contest.

Venue
The venue for the Summer 2016 contest was decided on June 5th 2016. 8 potential venues were shortlisted, with a top 3 being announced in May 2016. The Hyphenation Arena, venue of the Summer 2014 contest, was selected again to host this year's contest. A spokesperson for the bidding process stated "We all had a blast in Summer 2014, and bringing the contest back there again this year will be a right treat for everyone. Bexhill is a vibrant city filled with music, shopping, great transportation, and a booming night life. I couldn't think of a better place to bring Chummervision."

Returning countries

 * - Laurenia withdrew from the contest in Winter 2016 due to a lack of funding and public interest. In March 2016 it was reported in a Laurenian blog that the country are in talks to return to the contest in Summer 2016 and are currently on the search for a new artist. On April 5 2016, this news was confirmed by Moda, with Dua Lipa announced as their official representative.

Former countries

 * - Gaer was suspended from taking part in the Summer 2015 and Winter 2016 contests following a series of controversial Snapchat images sent to Chummervision officials. They were allowed to take part again in Summer 2016, however on July 16 2016 it was confirmed by the CBU that Gaer would not be returning to the contest.
 * - Gibberland were suspended from the Winter 2016 contest due to a discovery made by the CBU revealing the country had been breaching human rights laws unknowingly with their entries. As the investigation is still ongoing, it is unlikely the country will make their return to the contest for Summer 2016. On July 8 2016, it was confirmed by the CBU that Gibberland would not be returning to the contest.
