Theme and Designs
The Theme of this Worldvision Song Contest was about the Nature of Music, as also told by the motto of the contest "The Nature of Music", as well as the prominent motif "hakjelíle" which is a simplified version of an Aenglish Dandelion which is shown throughout the branding and logos of Worldvision 98. The theme describes Aenglide's natural world, from geographical nature (mountains, forests etc.), to ecological nature (animals), to other natural sights that would be seen within Aenglide. The nature is represented on each country's postcard, along with the word of that said piece of nature in the Aenglic language, the official language of Aenglide. The hakjelíle is also featured on the postcards, in five shapes in the colours and (somewhat of) the stylisation of the respective country's flag.
Non-Participation Acts
The opening act was Erá Mojyk and the Aenglish National Orchestra, performing the original piece “Vján de gaúðin blöver nær méj”, which translates to "When the wind blowers near me" in Aenglic. The opening parade was titled “The Grand Opening - Aenglish Mix” and was used as a combination of songs for the opening parade, where all of the artists walk out onto the stage before their performances. The interval act between the last performance from ___ and the beginning of the jury votes was Aenglish DJ-singer duo Emperie's song "DJ Mister Disco".
Hosts
The hosts of Worldvision 98 was Kera Johanssen, a TV personality in Aenglide, and Lere Hveda, a singer, songwriter, actor, and TV personality in Aenglide. Lere Hveda had represented Aenglide in the 95th Worldvision Song Contest in Nakom, Yvesia as mononymously Lere.
