Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game 18

The 18th edition of Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game was organised in The Stožice Arena, Ljubljana, Slovenia, following the country's victory in 17th edition of the contest in Tirana with the song "Valovi" by zalagasper.

It was the very first show held by the Slovenian broadcaster. All of the ceremonies were hosted by two female presenters: singers Nuška Drašček and Maja Keuc.

The winner of the contest was San Marino with the song "The Children" performed by HÅN, who received 282 points, winning both the jury and the audience voting.

Due to slightly decreased interest in the contest, its format has been changed back to 2 semi-finals. Apart from those, the show consisted also of the Second Chance round and the Grand Final. Countries that participated, just like before, could come from both geographical and historical Europe, with only one special guest(in this edition - United States).
