Edition 1

Edition 1 is the first edition of Festivali I Globe Contest. It was hosted in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, a non-participating country, in order to keep everything neutral on the first edition. The contest consisted of a single grand final, with all twelve participants. The winner was Kosovo with the song "24 Bars" by rapper Melinda Ademi, making Kosovo the first ever winner of the contest.

Host Location
The host, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, was selected randomly. In order to keep everything as neutral as possible, the first host location was a non-participating country. After this edition, all further editions were hosted by the previous edition's winning country.

Bidding & voting
Originally, there was an bidding process, however only one country submitted a bid. As a result of this, the vote was between the one country that submitted a bid, Australia, and a vote for a random country across the globe.

Randomising
After "randomised" won the vote, the Contest Hosts randomised from a list of every country across the globe. The country selected was Tajikistan, the capital of which being Dushanbe.

Grand Final
The grand final results took place on the 13th of December 2020.

Due to Belarus, China, Japan, and Slovenia not voting, resulting in both of their points being divided by two, the final results differ slightly to what was voted for. If they had not been cut in half, Belarus would've won with 143 points, and Slovenia would've come fourth with 77 points. China would've stayed in the same position, last place, with 29 points, and Japan also would've stayed in the exact same position, eleventh, with 42 points. This would've resulted in an entirely new winner, and host location for Edition 2, which was hosted in Pristina, Kosovo.

The winner was Kosovo, who received 50 points from the jury vote, 62 points from the televote, and 112 points in total. They sent the rapper Melinda Ademi who performed her song "24 Bars".
