It was originally planned that the competition would be held in two stages: the betting stage and the grand final, in which the other 15 countries were to join the finalist countries ([[Spain]], [[Australia]] and [[Japan]]). However, due to the long hiatus, many participating countries withdrew their entries (almost all of them made their debut at [[Worldvision Q1-2023|Q1-2023]]). | |||

For the | For the Q4-2022 season, songs released on the YouTube platform no earlier than 1 January 2021 are eligible. The quotas that can be requested by the participating countries for the opportunity to exhibit a composition in a language other than the main language of the country were not distributed in the debut season. | ||

The voting in the final | The voting in the final consisted of the sum of votes from thirteen participating countries, which in turn gave two sets of points: the first set of points from the curators themselves (the jury), and the second set of points from the IECO observers (TV viewers). Each voter had a set of 10 Eurosystem points: 12, 10, 8, 7-1 points. | ||

On May 18, 2022, the organizers of the competition decided to automatically admit [[Australia]] and [[Japan]] to the final (to the host country Spain already there). These countries were recognized as founding countries of the contest (however this was abolished before the Q1-2023 contest). It was also announced that the final would be increased from 16 to 18 participating countries. On June 8, 2022, it was announced that [[Germany]] would not enter the competition without explanation. A little later on 11 July 2022, it became known that [[South Korea]] did not contact the organizers of the contest, which led to the country's automatic withdrawal from participation. | ||

===After the break=== | |||
Apparently the contest was postponed for more and more time and eventually never has happened. Eventually, it was proposed to held it again after a long break. Since there was a long time due, it was decided that countries has a right to change their entry if they wish or keep the same one that they have selected earlier. | |||
However, due this uncertainties and lack of proper organization, many countries has decided to withdrew. On 21 October (after almost a six-month break), only 13 countries eventually took part in the first competition, including [[South Korea]], as well as [[Montenegro]]. While [[South Korea]] has tried to participate earlier and was not eventually on the final list due to connectivity issues within the submitting perios, [[Montenegro]] was not originally on the list of participants in the competition and IECO has done additional round of the invitations for participation due to heavy amounts of cancellations. | |||
Some countries have replaced their original applications, like [[Australia]], [[Hungary]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Norway]], [[San Marino]] and [[United Kingdom]], while other countries like [[Japan]], [[Portugal]], [[Spain]] and [[Sweden]] has decided to keep their entry unchanged. The delegation of [[Thailand]] decided to keep their participant, but to change their song. | |||

On June 2, 2022, after the morning update of the competition rates, it turned out that the competition composition from [[Ukraine]] moved to the first line of the rating, which displeased a number of participating curators from [[Canada]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Hungary]], [[Greece]], [[China]], [[North Macedonia]]. The fact is that in a separate survey of each announced application, the participants noticed the fact that Ukraine's application was rated worse than the others and it is very illogical to observe the country in first place in the rates. The curator of [[Japan]] confirmed that back in May 2022, he requested a scheme and formula for calculating the rating for each participating country, but no answer was received, which led to big questions. The curator of China called the finding of Ukraine in the first place as a "show of compassion", and the curator of Hungary threatened to withdraw the country from participating in the competition if no explanations were received from the organizers of the competition. In the evening, a table was announced with data analysis based on the results of each poll of announced applications, and it turned out that, according to data reconciliation, Ukraine's application was located on the penultimate of 13 announced compositions. It is noteworthy that China, which was placed in 7th place in the rating rates, turned out to be the absolute favorite in the poll. On the evening of June 2, 2022, the curator of Australia reported that the data from the poll of the Ukrainian application was not taken into account for the calculation of rating rates, which re-introduced the dissatisfaction of the curators of Canada, China and Hungary.
