Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game 21

The 21st edition of Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game was organised in Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı, Istanbul, Turkey, following the country's victory in 20th edition of the contest in San Marino with the song "Sangria" by Simge Pınar.

It was the very first show held by the Turkish broadcaster. All of the ceremonies were hosted by TBA.

Format
With a minimal decrease of the interest in the contest, the format had to undergo a minor change - the whole show would now consist of 3 Semi-finals(with 10 qualifiers from each), Second Chance round and the Grand Final. Participating countries, just as usual, are bound to come from both geographical and historical Europe (with the addition of Canada, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa) with only one special guest(in this edition - Colombia). The voting system has not changed; each country had a set of jury points from 1-8, 10 and 12 and 58 televoting points to give out to the participants. The songs chosen were meant to be found and selected by players themselves, both original records and covers, as well as the ones, which previously had taken part in Eurovision Song Contest. The running order has been revealed after randomization personally held by the contest's supervisor.
