Kross-European Song Contest of 1975

This was the 49th edition and was held in May 1975. Preparations began in August 1974. Kross Company collaborated with again with RecZa Studios (formerly RECORDZA) and EmbeX Studios and a UK telephone company for sponsorship. Georg Bekaert continued as executive producer with Kiana Ratz and Krystal Gales both staying on as assistants.

Continuing the policy of barring the bottom five of the previous year from competing, Australia, Sweden and Belarus returned. Malta and Luxembourg both didn't return as they didn't see the point in the contest anymore. To not create a contest with little countries competing, Kross Company decided to only bar the bottom three of 1974. Ukraine, Denmark and for the second time, Ireland were forced to withdraw. Majority of the countries who were absent from the previous contest didn't return either.

United Kingdom chose to host in London because of the infrastructure already in place and the fact that the Song Contest Stadium hadn't been used since the last time they hosted around 40 years ago. Because there were only 25 participants, it was decided to not have any semi finals.
