**The EuroDina Song Contest 01**, often shortened to **EDSC** **01**, was the 1st edition of the contest. It was also the first time Romania hosted an event related to the EuroBroadcasting Union. TVR selected the BT Arena, Cluj-Napoca as the venue for the edition, whilst Bella Santaigo was chosen as the host.

The winner of the edition was **Sweden** with the song **Love** performed by **Junior Brielle**. The song scored **251** points, only **3** more than the runner up, **Romania**. **Finland** finished in third place with **196** points, whilst **France**, **Poland** and **Norway** completed the top six of the edition. The host country, Romania, came **2nd**.

## Bidding Phase

The first edition of **The EuroDina Song Contest** will be hosted in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Bucharest was the other potential bid but actually the venue was way too smaller for such an event so TVR decided that Cluj would be the most capable cities among all the others from the country.
