The Worldvision Song Contest Quarter 2 - 2023 was the 3rd edition of the WorldVision Song Contest. It is set to take place in Melbourne, Australia, after San Marino, winner of the WorldVision Song Contest Q1-2023 contest with the song "Bellissima" by Annalisa, could not meet the requirements for the event due to the lack of the necessary infrastructure. Organised by the International Eurofan's Countries Organisation (IECO) and host broadcaster Special Broadcasting Service (SBS). The contest was held at the John Cain Arena, and was consisted a final on 2 July 2023.

Twenty-six countries will take part in the competition, along with debuting Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. Last season's competitors Canada, Montenegro, North Macedonia and the United States withdrew from the competition.

The winner was Germany with the song "Still Dancing", performed by Reve. New Zealand (best result), Portugal (best result), San Marino and Vietnam (best result) rounded out the top five. The following countries improved their results: Serbia and Denmark. Greece repeated their best finish of 22nd, while Thailand finished in last place for the first time.

Location

The Q2-2023 contest took place in Melbourne. This is the first time when the contest has been held away from Europe, even though a European country has won the contest. It was the first time that Australia hosts the contest. The selected venue is the 10.300-seat John Cain Arena.

Host country selection

After the victory of the representative of San Marino in the previous competition Q1-2023, the question arose of the possibility of holding the competition in San Marino. During the discussions, it was announced that due to the lack of a suitable venue for the song contest, it was decided to move the competition to Australia (as the second place winner), but with the right to co-organize San Marino.

City bidding process

It was propoesed by Australia to San Marino to choose any of Australian largest cities that would be convinient for San Marino to organise the competition. The final choice was between Sydney and Melbourne since they are known with their vast infrastructure and have direct connecting flights. After the organisational meeting it was announced that Melbourne will be hosting the contest. None of the bidding was made prior to that announcemnt and technically the city was assigned to held the competition.

Production

Visual Design

On May 20, the final logo concept was presented. The word mark includes additional wording of "Australia" to mention the location of the venue, however the flag showcased as the flag of Smr-icon.png San Marino
