Welcome to your Eurovision Song Contest.

This is the twelfth edition of the Yourovision Song Contest, to be held in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the United Kingdom, who won the eleventh edition of the contest. This edition will take place in October of 2014.

In this edition, several formerly-withdrawn countries will make their return, and several artists who have taken part in the contest before, including Annalisa, for San Marino, who won for Italy in the tenth edition. Additionally, Slovenia will join the contest, after having originally planned to join in the eighth edition, only to cancel their plans.

For this edition, two participating countries will select their entrant through a national final. Ireland's selection process has yet to be announced, whilst Italy will choose their song through the first instalment of La Scelta.

Edition 12 - Newcastle - Endless Possibilities

The twelfth edition of the Yourovision Song Contest shall be held in Newcastle-upon-Tyne (abbreviated to its colloquial name, Newcastle, for the contest), after Molly Smitten-Downes won the previous edition, bringing the contest to the United Kingdom for the second time. The slogan, this time, is "Endless Possibilities", to serve as a reminder that any and all boundaries, borders and limitations are, to one extent or another, purely self-imposed, and that, with enough application, anything can be achieved.

The dates for the twelfth edition have not yet been announced.
