Welcome to your Eurovision Song Contest.
This was the second-anniversary edition of the Yourovision Song Contest, held in Tirana, Albania, following Bebe Rexha's record-breaking win in the previous edition. The winner of this edition would go on to beat that record by a further two points.
This was only the second time in the history of the contest, the first being the fifth edition, that all five of the "Big Five" countries from the real Eurovision Song Contest had all taken part in the same edition at once.
In addition to this, with twenty-four countries participating, this edition was the largest non-special edition, breaking the previous record of 19 participating countries, held by the seventh, tenth and twelfth editions. In terms of capacity, it has also outclassed the fourth edition, which was the smallest special edition, with 21 competing entries. This also means that, with 23 individual users taking part, this edition features the most separate people participating.
This edition was the first to feature a song receiving no points whatsoever. Ironically, due to two countries failing to vote, resulting in their disqualification, US America, despite receiving no points from the participating countries, was ranked 22nd out of 24, with the two disqualified countries forcibly placed below them, despite achieving 30 points apiece.
Edition 20 - Tirana - Burning Passion[]
The host city was Tirana, Albania's capital. The slogan of this edition was "Burning Passion", with the theme art incorporating visuals of fire, hearts, and diamonds, to reflect the heat and intensity of one's desires and ambitions, and the beauty and solidity that such passion can forge, as well as represent the sheer force of the love and support that the contest has received over its two years of existence.
The dates for this edition were:
Participation deadline/Voting begins: 15th August, 2015
Voting deadline: 27th August, 2015
Grand Final: 28th August, 2015
