Welcome to your Eurovision Song Contest.

This was the eighth edition of the Yourovision Song Contest, held in June 2014, in Copenhagen, Denmark, the winning country of the previous edition, and the first repeat-winner of the contest to date. A record-breaking twenty-eight countries confirmed their presence in this edition, owed in part to the contest being a special edition, in which all participants may send songs for two countries. Additionally, this was the first edition to feature a national final, with Japan selecting their entry through Japan's Voice for Yourovision.

The original number of participants was thirty-two, as Cyprus, Finland, France and Greece had intended to participate, but never selected an entry, and so were forced to withdraw from the competition. Similarly, Slovenia had intended to début, but later withdrew, being replaced by Denmark.

Initially, the date of the final was set to be the 25th of June, but due to circumstances outside of the contest, the deadline was extended to the 30th of the month, making this edition the longest-running, lasting from the first to the last day of its associated month.

Edition 8 - Copenhagen - Every Second Counts

The eighth edition of the Yourovision Song Contest was held in Copenhagen, following the Danish victory at the previous edition, marking the second time that Denmark has hosted the contest. Coincidentally, both of Denmark's hostings have occurred on a special edition of the contest. The contest's slogan for this edition was "Every Second Counts", to highlight the importance of embracing the time we have, as it won't last forever.

The dates for the eighth edition are:

Participation deadline/Semi-final voting begins: 1st June, 2014
Semi-final voting deadline: 14th June, 2014
Grand Final voting begins: 15th June, 2014
Grand Final: 30th June, 2014
