The Eurovision Choir of the Year, is an upcoming choral competition inspired by the World Choir Games, which is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Interkultur Foundation and open to broadcasters that are members of the EBU. The inaugural competition is scheduled to take place on 22 July 2017, in Riga, Latvia.
The Eurovision Choir of the Year is a new event being launched by the EBU, and the latest event to be launched since the Eurovision Magic Circus Show 2010. The event will consist of non-professional choirs who are members of the EBU, with the inaugural contest scheduled to take place on 22 July 2017, hosted by the Latvian broadcaster Latvijas Televīzija (LTV), and to coincide with the closing ceremony of the European Choir Games 2017. The event will be officially confirmed on 30 November 2016 depending on a reasonable amount of interest from active members of the European Broadcasting Union.
The choir members of the EBU will compete for the title of the Eurovision Choir of the Year, with prizes including a recording contract for the winning choir. Each choir performs an unaccompanied ensemble of six minutes in any genre and is judged by a high-level jury who decide the winner.
Listed are all the countries that have ever taken part in the competition alongside the year in which they made their debut:
Most of the expense of the contest is covered by commercial sponsors and contributions from the other participating nations. The contest is considered to be a unique opportunity for promoting the host country as a tourist destination. The table below shows a list of cities and venues that have hosted the Eurovision Choir of the Year, one or more times. Future venues are shown in italics.
