The Islevision Song Contest is an internationally televised song contest, organised by the Islevision Corporation, and featuring participants chosen to represent their countries from across the Western Isles. Every year tens of thousands travel in person to attend the Islevision Song Contest whilst million’s more watch the contest broadcasted across the Western Isles.
Artists’ audition and are selected by Islevision’s local partner organisations to represent their country. Once selected artists travel the chosen host city and perform an original song as a showcase of both the traditional and contemporary musical styles and talents their country has too often. As a result, each year audiences are treated to a diverse plethora of genres and musical acts.
The audience (both those who’ve attended in-person or are watching at home) votes, via telephone or online, for their favourite song. The votes are counted as a national bloc, with points being awarded depending on how popular a song was with any participating country.
Voters may not vote for the song from their own country. The song with the most points is declared the winner of the contest.
