The Eurovision Song Contest recently announced it is bound for Latin America, now on the hunt for a Host City.
The 2022 contest generated more than 75 million unique viewers on YouTube in 232 territories with Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico attracting nearly 400,000 hours viewing combined.
Eurovision Song Contest Latin America will be produced by Voxovation’s Christer Björkman, Anders Lenhoff, Ola Melzig, Peter Settman and Greg Lipstone, the producers of American Song Contest and Eurovision Song Contest Canada.
Eurovision Song Contest Executive Supervisor Martin Österdahl said: “Following on from the launch of the American Song Contest, and with plans underway for Eurovision Song Contest Canada next year, the European Broadcasting Union is thrilled to be now working with Voxovation on bringing the excitement and magic of the Eurovision Song Contest to Latin America. The unique Eurovision format finds new fans across the globe every year and we can’t wait to expand the brand in this hugely diverse part of the world.”
Peter Settman and Greg Lipstone, on behalf of the Voxovation producing team, said: “Fans across Latin America have consistently shown up and showed out for the Eurovision Song Contest brand, and Eurovision Song Contest Latin America is the embodiment of that fervent passion, as well as a continuation of the broad vision we, the producing team, have for Eurovision as a global brand.”
An Asia-Pacific edition has been mooted several times, the last under rights holder SBS, but never materialised.
