## History

On 1st January 2020, Mario and Juanini, current contest organizers of the EuroBroadcasting Union decided to launch a song contest, where every full member of the **EBU** could take part by sending artists to represent their countries. It was called **The EuroDina Song Contest.**

The first ever edition of the contest was held in TBD, Romania, between Febraury & March 2020. And a total of 19 countries participated on this first edition resulting TBD as a winner with a total of TBD points, followed by TBD as the runner-up and TBD on the third place.

The winner is traditionally set to be the host of the following EuroDina Song Contest.

Currently, the EBU has control over the contest, and its members work in different parts of the contest, like recaps, staging, result videos and websites.

## Format

The format of the contest is very simple. A country has to be represented by one television broadcaster from the country. The show is hosted by the previous edition winner, and the programme is broadcasted from the arena in in the host city. During this show, after all the songs have been performed, the countries then proceed to cast their votes for the other countries' songs: nations are not allowed to vote for their own song. At the end of the show, the song with the most points would be declared as the winner. The winner receives, simply, the prestige of having won, and the country is formally invited to host the event the following edition.

The programme is invariably opened by one or more presenters, welcoming viewers to the show. Between the songs and the announcement of the voting, an interval act is performed.

## Visual Identity

The generic logo for the contest was introduced in the first edition. The logo featured the contest's name as well as host information. The edition-specific logo also includes the flag of the host country in a rotated circle behind the name of the contest.

### Slogan

When producing the theme art for each edition of the contest, a slogan is also decided, often based around the visual identity of the contest or the winning song of the previous edition.
