The Q2-2023 contest was held 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. | |||
=== Host country selection === | |||
After the victory of the representative of [[San Marino]] in the previous competition [[Worldvision Q1-2023|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. | After the victory of the representative of [[San Marino]] in the previous competition [[Worldvision Q1-2023|Q1-2023]], the question arose of the possibility of holding the competition in 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. | |||
