Format

Turkvision is an annual song contest which was created by TÜRKSOY in cooperation with the Turkish music channel TMB TV. Based on the similar format of the Eurovision Song Contest, Turkvision focuses primarily on participating Turkic countries and regions. The participating countries and regions had to take part in the Semi Final. A juror from each nation awarded between 1 and 10 points for every entry, except their own. An amount of 12 to 15 nations qualified for the Grand Final where the jury determined the winner. TÜRKSOY stated that televoting would be introduced in the future, but this never took place.[3]

Hosting of the Turkvision Song Contest takes place in the country or region that also hosts the Turkic Capital of Culture.[4]

Participants from Turkic-speaking and Turkic countries or regions were eligible to compete in the annual Turkvision Song Contests, such as Crimea, Karachay-Cherkessia, and Turkey.[3]

Twenty-four countries and regions took part in the Template:Tscyr of Turkvision. There were several unsuccessful attempts to participate in the Turkvision Song Contest. Template:Tsccnty, Template:Tsccnty, Template:Tsccnty, and Template:Tsccnty were one of the original twenty-four participating areas with initial intentions to competing at the 2013 Contest, but later withdrew for undisclosed reasons.[5]

Russia's Omsk Oblast broadcast the 2014 contest, but they have never made any statement regarding participation.[6] A delegation from another Russian federal subject, Kalmykia, attended the 2015 contest, but did not participate and have not made any subsequent statements regarding participation.[7]
