Theme

Logo for the 113th WorldVision Song Contest

The logo for WV113 was a completely alternate from the original WorldVision Logo. It featured a Lightning style font, connecting to the slogan for this edition, "The Power of Music". The main theme of this contest revolved around EDM, specifically songs made from the Label Monsterdog. The postcards showed the artist at their home nation, then being transported to Saint Monkey, and specifically region Light City and the Lightning Lake. It showed natural areas with names that had music in its name, which this region is known for naming things after music. For example, Crustyland's postcard was one of Dubsteptown, a town in the North of the region named after the music genre, Dubstep.

There were 4 interval acts, Sayonara by Kiana Knight, winner of the 112th WorldVision Song Contest, I Want You Back by Part Saturn feat. Morris Harrison, Talking to Myself by Gotcha and Powa and Power Of Music sung by Aurora Kucera, but was originally produced by Banutang.
