Worldvision Song Contest 87 is the 87th edition of annually held Worldvision Song Contest, which is a Song Competition with competitors from around the world. The contest was held in Peeto, Polkopia.
Bidding Process
This edition, three countries competed for the hosting position. Polkopia, Scotatrova, and Placely Placington where each shows a bid package that can be used to convince voters to vote for one of them. Rumours circulated around North Alezia that the country itself has secretly created preparations for bidding, and it was rumoured that the country pulled out of the bid due to budget issues, however, this rumour has been shot down directly by the ABA, while immediately announcing that North Alezia is interested on bidding for the 88th competition. In this bidding process, Polkopia won the rights to host the competition for an unprecedented sixth time after a voting session with each voter ranking all bids and sort them by 8, 10, and 12 points.

Host
According to the Polkopian Bid Package, Peeto stands out above the rest for a number of reasons. For one, Peeto is the second largest Polkopian city and boasts a bustling public transit network. In addition to an extensive heavy and light rail network, Peeto is home to Polkopia's first monorail system with full service between all of Polkopia's main destinations. Regarding arrival to Peeto, the city is home to Polkopia's busiest international airport - Verekovo Airport, as well as Nulvik' Airport and Čestovo Airport who also service international airlines. Polkopia boasts an incredibly efficient passenger railway network, spanning across the entire nation with select destinations in neighboring countries as well. Being a port city, Peeto's maritime transportation is as bustling as ever. With 101 commercial ports, Peeto sports Polkopia's largest and busiest port and takes great pride in its maritime activity. Polkopia is also the home of a very extensive railway system.
Besides being one of the oldest cities in the nation and boasting some beautiful, historical sights, the city is the unofficial capital of Polkopia's thriving music scene. Polkopian Worldvision legends like Sergey Borisčev, Anna Viktoreevna, and Anna Petravona (to name a few) all got their lucky break whilst in Peeto and their impact on the city's culture can still be felt today. Worldvision fans are able to visit the 'Worldvision Museum' located in the Arts District, where original drafts, recordings, and interviews from previous Polkopian participants are all available to the public.
The history of the city is as complex as the history of Polkopia itself and that can be seen through a simple walk through any of the downtown districts. The land that Peeto now sits upon was first built upon in 1422, when the Muscovites built a fortress that stood until the early 16th century, when the fortress was demolished and a city was built in its place. That city would later become known as Peeto and would be the center of revolution, innovation, and civilization in the region for the centuries to come. The city was partially destroyed a number of times throughout the years and this can all be seen while walking down Nulvikiy Prospekt, one of the main avenues downtown, where buildings on the side of the road can date back all the way back to 1543. Historically speaking, Peetovnitsy, or citizens from Peeto, were always able to rebuild their city quickly after disaster struck their beloved hometown. For instance, by the time the first Polkopian Civil War had ended, many of the older, historical homes downtown had been destroyed. Instead of replicating some of these structures, the Peetovnitsy worked tirelessly to rebuild their city with a more modern flare. This can be seen toward the end of Nulvikiy Prospekt, where one can spot a 20th century Khrushchyovka right next-door to a 17th century flat on the corner of Bol'šaya Street.
The postcard for this edition shows each participating country's sillouette of the skyline of a capital city or other various places inside a circle, with the outer rim packed with Polkopian traditional art, the colour for each postcard is adjusted with the flag colour of each participating country. The 87th contest saw many past nations including Zeganas and Saintabrina to name a few, returning after a long absence. .
