Rules
Every player has to pick an artist from their exact Bundesland or from the country which had the occupying power. In the following, the German terms are used: Community Bundesland: Note: Baden-Württemberg could technically also borrow from the USA, but to make it more balanced, it's only able to borrow from France.
 * May borrow from France:, &
 * May borrow from a country from the former Soviet Union:, , , &
 * May borrow from the United Kingdom:, , &
 * May borrow from the United States of America:, &
 * every participant may send songs and the actual participant will then be selected in something like a national final (see "Unser Song für Koblenz")

Voting
Every Bundesland distributes a set of points of 12, 10 and 8-1 to their ten favourites entries. Against the old rules of Bundesvision, it's not allowed to vote for the own Bundesland, as Berlin doesn't actually distribute points. Community-Bundesland Berlin just distributes the points 12, 10 and 8-1 to the top 10 of the edition (excluding Berlin) after every other Bundesland voted.
