Eurovision Asia-Pacific Song Contest

The **Eurovision Asia-Pacific Song Contest**, abbreviated as **EAPSC** and often simply called **Eurovision Asia**, is a song competition held on the platform of Discord and broadcast on YouTube, with participants representing primarily countries of the Asia-Pacific region and belonging to the Asia Pacific Broadcasting Association (APBA). At least 38 countries and dependencies are eligible to compete as of the current edition.

Based upon the existing Eurovision Song Contest held primarily between the countries of Europe, the Eurovision Asia-Pacific Song Contest is part of the Eurovision Discord Network, a network of Eurovision fan contests on Discord, including the Eurovision Americas Song Contest. The Eurovision Asia-Pacific Song Contest was founded by its current Executive Supervisor, lxvisrat#2012

The contest is organized, apart from the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Association, by the different delegations of each country, each with a Head of Delegation (HoD). Each Delegation is responsible of the representation of their respective country in the competition, including the choice of the artist and song to compete, the organization of national selections, the organization of a specific contest, among others. Each country will also be able to vote in the competitions for its artists and songs of preference through the Jury Vote and Televote, either during the Semi-Finals or in the Final.

So far, a total of X different countries and dependencies have won the competition and therefore hosted the contest. Apart from Country, who hosted due to being the organizer of the debut edition of the contest, Countries have all been winners and have hosted the contest. The highest scoring winner, so far, is Country's Singer who won the XXth Edition with the song "Song Name" which obtained a total of XXX points.
