It will be the fifth time that Estmere has hosted Euclovision, having previously done so in [[Euclovision_Song_Contest#Editions|1966]] and [[Euclovision_Song_Contest#Editions|1999]] in [[Morwall]], in [[Euclovision_Song_Contest#Editions|1985]] in [[Harbrough]], and in [[Euclovision_Song_Contest#Editions|2006]] in Morwall on behalf of [[Satavia]]. This is the first time the contest is being held in St Avelines, which is known as the Sun and Sea City<ref name="EBS Details"/>.

The main venue is the [[St Avelines#Culture|South of Estmere Arena]], a multi-purpose {{wp|indoor arena}} in the coastal [[St Avelines#Geography|St Aubry's district]] which seats 14,000 people and previously hosted a number of events at the [[Invictus_Games#Summer_Invictus_host_cities|1950 summer Invictus games]]<ref name="EBS Details"/>. The arena has more recently also hosted a number of events including concerts, exhibitions and sports. 

In addition to this main venue is the secondary venue located at [[St Avelines#Geography|Paradise Beach]]. This is where the Euclovision Village is located, which is the official fan and sponsors area throughout Euclovision 2023. The beach will be home to a number of stages where fans can watch performances by contest participants and local artists, in addition to a main stage which broadcasts live shows from the main venue. It is also where the Opening Ceremony events will take place. The village will be open from 8 to 15 April 2023. The village will be free to enter on all days other than the day of the final show, when there will be an entry fee. In addition to the stages, there will be a number of other attractions at the village as part of a {{wp|Beach party film|beach party}} theme, including a friendly match between professional {{wp|beach volleyball}} teams (in addition to amateur beach volleyball courts), a peddler's market comprising local businesses and a professional sandcastle competition<ref name="EBS Details"/>.

There is also the EucloClub, which is located just off the beach in a private yacht, which will host after-parties and private performances from participating artists. There is a high admission fee to enter the EucloClub, and it is primarily aimed at mega-fans and donors<ref name="EBS Details"/>.

The bidding process for host city was announced by host broadcaster [[Estmerish Broadcasting Service|EBS]] on 15 May 2022<ref>{{cite news |date=15 May 2022 | title=Euclovision 2023 bidding process begins |url=https://discord.com/channels/211500964824350720/211500964824350720/987278007800573972 |work=[[Estmerish Broadcasting Service|EBS News]] |access-date=27 March 2023}}</ref>. There was a list of rigorous minimum standards which potential host city candidates had to meet in order to be considered, including demonstrating the capacity, capability and experience to host Euclovision. Infrastructure connections, the size of potential venues and numbers of accomodations were also taken into account.

There were 38 initial bids from host cities when the first stage of the bidding process was closed. In line with the criteria and considerations listed above, these bids were narrowed down to a shortlist of eight bids which was announced on 20 June 2022, alongside the [[List of city nicknames in Estmere|nicknames]] used to promote each city's bid<ref>{{cite news |date=15 May 2022 | title=The eight cities fighting for YOUR VOTE to host Euclovision 2023 |url=https://discord.com/channels/211500964824350720/307860429680541707/1000884354853130281 |work=[[Estmerish Broadcasting Service|EBS News]] |access-date=27 March 2023}}</ref>. These were [[Morwall]], [[Harbrough]], [[Tolbury]], [[St Avelines]], [[Sheaford]], [[Damesbridge]], [[Bouley]] and [[St Richards]]<ref name="EBS Details"/>.

Those cities then entered discussions with EBS and the Estmerish Euclovision Committee to ensure that their bids were developed in detail further, and were then put to a public vote hosted online from 1 August to 1 September 2022<ref>{{cite news |date=1 August 2022 | title=EBS wants to hear YOUR VOICE for #Euclovision23! |url=https://discord.com/channels/211500964824350720/307860429680541707/1003961023855865898 |work=[[Estmerish Broadcasting Service|EBS News]] |access-date=27 March 2023}}</ref>. The public vote was meant to inform discussions, but EBS and the Euclovision Committee reserved the right to set aside the results of the vote. St Avelines was announced by EBS as the chosen host city on 16 September 2022, having come first in the popular vote ahead of Bouley and Tolbury<ref>{{cite news |date=16 September 2022 | title=St Avelines picked to host Euclovision 2023 |url=https://discord.com/channels/211500964824350720/1089224283399667792/1089227098197074080 |work=[[Estmerish Broadcasting Service|EBS News]] |access-date=27 March 2023}}</ref>.

The presenters for the 2023 contest were officially confirmed on 1 April 2023, in a Chirp by [[EBS]]<ref name="EBS Presenters">{{cite news |date=1 April 2023 | title=@EBS_News |url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=40492235#p40492235 |work={{wp|Twitter|Chirper}} |access-date=9 April 2023}}</ref>. Estmerish-Rizean actress [[Estmere#Cinema|Alice Wallace]], Estmerish musician [[Estmere|Vicki Freeman]] and Estmerish journalist [[Estmere|Harry Taylor]] will host all shows of the event, including the Opening Ceremony. Freeman and Taylor had provided {{wp|English language|Estmerish}} language commentary for previous editions of the contest, while Wallace is a new edition but is a fan of the contest and starred in the 2013 {{wp|musical film}} {{wp|Pitch Perfect|Pitched Battle}}<ref name="EBS Presenters"/>. As is usual, each participating broadcaster will also have their own presenters to provide national commentary. [[EBS|Nihteġ Pẹrrocer]] and [[EBS|Mo Khan]] will provide {{wp|Anglo-Frisian_languages#Anglic_languages|Swathish}} language commentary on [[EBS#Television_channels|EBS Svạþiṡc]], while [[EBS|David Palmer]] and [[EBS|Lis Poingdestre]] will do the same for {{wp|Jèrriais|Flurian}} on [[EBS#Television_channels|EBS Fleuvais]].

===Entries===
EBS and the EBG released the details for the rules of entires in Septemeber 2022, following the precedent set in prior contests. The exact rules included stipulations that live performances could not exceed 3 minutes and 30 seconds in length, and that delegations were limited to a maximum of eight people on stage at one time. Similarly to previous years, delegations were allowed to use a limited amount of pre-recorded backing vocals in addition to the main vocals and any live backing vocals.

===Semi-final allocation draw===
In order to determine the participating countries' semi-finals, an allocation draw took place on 17 January 2022. The thirty-eight semi-finalists (not including the "Super Cinq" countries, who are guaranteed a place in the final, and [[Borland (Kylaris)|Borland]], the previous runner-up), were divided into six pots, based on geography, language and historical voting patterns. The purpose of drawing from different pots is to reduce the chance of bloc voting, therefore increasing suspense in the semi-finals. The Super Cinq countries ([[Estmere]], [[Etruria]], [[Gaullica]], [[Soravia]] and [[Werania]]) were included in a separate draw to determine which of the semi-finals they would vote in. The previous year's winner and current year's host country is also guaranteed a spot, but as Estmere is in the Super Cinq it had already secured a place. As a result, last year's runner-up, [[Borland (Kylaris)|Borland]], took the host's spot instead. Finally, the allocation draw ceremony also included the handing over of host city insignia from [[Alikianos]] to [[St Avelines]].
