Preparations

Host city selection

Location of host city (in blue), shortlisted cities (in green), other bidding cities (in red) and cities that expressed interest but ultimately did not bid (in grey).

The bidding process for host city was announced by host broadcaster EBS on 15 May 2022[3]. 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 nicknames used to promote each city's bid[4]. These were Morwall, Harbrough, Tolbury, St Avelines, Sheaford, Damesbridge, Bouley and St Richards.

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[5]. 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[6].
