After North Vision[]

Iceland did not participate in the fifth edition held in Denmark, for unknown reasons. RÚV never gave a reason why they withdrew, although the result in the fourth edition could have been a factor. Iceland would return again in the sixth edition held in Lebanon. Despite this, RÚV did broadcast the 5th edition of the contest on delay.
