The '''Special Melody Contest Q1-2024''' - was the 3rd edition of the [[Special Melody Contest|Special Melody Contest]] that has been ever made. It is set to take place in [[:en:Thessaloniki|Thessaloniki]],[[Greece]].
== Location ==
After the previous edition has been won by [[Greece]], the broadcaster was immediately approached to form the reference group for the contest organisation. The Executive Supervisor and the head of IECO joined to the discussion of the potential city selection to host the show.
=== City bidding process ===
Only [[:en:Athens|Athens]] were proposed by the reference group as applicable venue and infrastructure to host the third edition of the contest. However, later the broadcaster has proposed the city of [[:en:Thessaloniki|Thessaloniki]] as a symbolic choice for hosting and due to less cost being involved in preparations. After that, [[:en:Thessaloniki|Thessaloniki]] were approved to held the competition and the city has been appointed to host it.

However, later the broadcaster has proposed the city of Thessaloniki as a symbolic choice for hosting and due to less cost being involved in preparations. After that, Thessaloniki were approved to held the competition and the city has been appointed to host it.
