Ten provinces and three territories will compete in a single night for Eurovision Canada.
Their main task in the next few months will be to create the format for the competition, including how the voting will take place. The original Eurovision and the American version both rely on jury and public tele-voting, although Eurovision is famous for allowing participating countries and juries to award points to the various entries. In its first year, thehas not had states award points as it would be unwieldy to have votes reported from 56 different states and territories.
The Canadian edition of Eurovision will more closely mirror the original European version, which took place on a single night until 2004 when a semi-final was added. In 2008, a second semi-final was added because so many countries wanted to participate that there wasn’t enough time in one evening to include them all.
The number of countries competing changes every year. Since Eurovision began in 1956, a total of 52 nations have sent songs to the contest. Some, like Morocco, have been only once. Morocco, like Israel, is not in Europe but as members of the European Broadcasting Union they have been allowed to participate.
Where will the contest expand next? “It’s a big world out there,” says Lipstone. “There are many countries that have not experienced the Eurovision spectacle and we look forward to the day when everyone around the world is part of this iconic event.”
