The HeartVision Song Contest (English: HeartVision de la Chanson) can also be abbreviated as HŞY or HeartVision, and is a song contest since 2016 in the HeartVision Broadcasting Union.

Each of the participating countries selects a song to be performed on television and will be played by television and radio, and will score the songs of the countries other than itself to determine the most popular song in the competition. Since its inception in 2016, the competition has been held every month and is one of the longest running programs in the world.
Winning the HeartVision Song Contest gives the singers a chance to get better acquainted and to advance their careers.

Each country awarded 12 points to their favorite, 10 points to their second favourite and then 8 points to 1 point for the rest.Kosovo was the first ever country to win the contest. The winner is traditionally set to be the host of the following HeartVision edition.

### Participation

Any full member of the HeartVision Broadcasting Union is allowed to send a song for the HeartVision Song Contest. Countries that are not full members can apply for becoming one. The HeartVision Broadcasting Union has already accepted some countries that were not full members of the HBU at the beginnings of the HVSC. However, the HBU has also already declined a lot of nations and states that wanted to become a full member - and to participate in the HeartVision Song Contest.

Each full member has got a certain broadcaster that is responsible for the choice of the artists and songs the country is sending for each edition. TBD countries have participated at least once. These are listed here alongside the edition in which they made their debut:

The HBU has announced that that a new voting system would be also used in this edition as well. Each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Televoting votes from all countries are pooled. After viewers have cast their votes, the results of each professional jury are presented. After the results of the professional juries are presented, the televoting points from all participating countries are combined, providing one score for each song. The results of countries finishing between 11th and 26th in the public vote are automatically added to the scoreboard, with only the results of the top ten countries being announced by the hosts. The new voting system is also used to determine the qualifiers from each semi-final, but as before the qualifiers are announced in a random order.
