Format
Entries
For the Q1-2023 season, songs released on the YouTube platform no earlier than 1 October 2021 are eligible. It is planned that starting from this season, the participating countries will be able to request a special permission (quota), which will allow them to submit an entry in another language that is not provided for by the rules of the competition as being allowed to be used. One specific country will be able to use the quota once every five seasons.
Voting changes
The voting in the final consisted of the sum of votes from twenty four 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. However, this season, each participating country could itself appoint a voting viewer. An additional slot of points from the rest of the voters was also added.
