On 7th May 2017, Julian, executive supervisor of the GreatVision Broadcasting Union decided to open an international music contest, in that every member of the GBU can take part by sending artists representing their countries with songs. It was called GreatVision Song Contest. In the beginnings the contest was not fully developed so there were a lot of rule changes in that phase. Currently, the GBU Council has the control over the contest, recaps, staging and results videos.
The first ever GreatVision Song Contest started on 31st May 2017. It was held in the US-city Los Angeles, the United States also was the first ever country to host the GreatVision Song Contest and also one ofthe first ever direct qualifiers for the final. Forty-two nations took part in the first edition each submitting one entry to the contest. Each country awarded awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. The voting procedure has not changed since then.
Ukraine as the first ever country to win the contest. The winner is traditionally set to be the host of the following GreatVision edition.
Currently, the GBU Council has the control over the contest, and its members work in different terms of the contest, like recaps, staging, results videos and websites.
==== Logo and theme ====
The general logo, which was created by a German team, was introduced in the first edition.
