Bundesvision Song Contest 04

Bundesvision Song Contest 04 (also referred to as: BuViSoCo04) took place September 3, 2019 in München, Bayern after Claire had won the previous edition with their song "Friendly Fire". It was used as the German national final for the "Listen To The World - Song Festival #06" in Seoul, South Korea. The venue was the Olympiahalle and the event was hosted by Stefan Raab and Barbara Schöneberger. BR (Bavarian Broadcasting) was the responsible broadcaster.

Rules
- In the following, the German terms are used -

Special provision for the fourth edition: Like in the previous edition, every Bundesland had to be represented by an artist from the actual Bundesland, because this time Bundesvision will be used as the German national final for another contest, in which the representative, of course, has to be German.

Voting
After the voting method was changed for the third edition, it was also changed for the fourth edition.

In all previous editions every Bundesland had voted, but this time the other competing countries in the "Listen To The World - Song Festival" had to vote. They did so by awarding each song a number of points between 1 and 100 because it was originally planned to use a similar system like in the third edition. However, the points were ranked from highest to lowest for each Bundesland and then recalculated to the 12-points-system, meaning the highest-scoring Bundesland got 12 points, the second-highest scoring Bundesland got 10 points and so on. The six lowest-scoring Bundesländer got no points. On several occasions, there was a draw for a certain placing, so the points were equally distributed (e.g. the top 2 Bundesländer got the same amount of points, so they both got 11 points in the 12-points-system).

Fourteen countries voted, so to make the results comparable, the points of each act were multiplied by the factor 16/14.

Since this voting method was too difficult to understand and confusing, the director of the contest announced there will be a change for Bundesvision Song Contest 05. 1: Since only fourteen countries voted the points of each act were multiplied by the factor 16/14 to make the results comparable.
