Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game 10

The 10th edition of Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game was organised in Croatian Nationa Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc in Rijeka, Croatia, following the country's victory in 9th edition of the contest in Casablanca with the song "Zaljuljali Smo Svijet" by Nina Kraljić.

It was the second contest held by a Croatian broadcast. However due to a slightly decreased number of participants, the show's format was changed back to the one from the first few editions: two Semi-finals(15 qualifiers from each) and the Grand Final, with Second Chance in between. All of those shows were hosted by Severina(Eurovision Song Contest 2006) and Luminize's vocalist, Marcela Oroši.

Format
As mentioned above, in the 10th edition, the show consisted of two Semi-finals, Second Chance and the Grand Final. 15 qualifiers from each Semi-final would qualify for the Grand Final and then 2 countries from Second Chance would join them, to provide a total number of 32 songs in the Grand Final, just like in previous editions. Countries that participated, just like before, could come from both geographical and historical Europe, with only one special guest(in this edition - USA). Same voting system; each country had a set of points from 1-8, 10 and 12 to give. The songs chosen could be original, found and selected by players themselves, as well as the ones, which previously had taken part in Eurovision Song Contest. The running order revealed after a randomization personally held by a creator of the contest.
