Presenters


On July 15, UFF TV announced that Cody the dog will host the first edition of Youro Song Contest, along with his owners.

Format
The contest will consist of two semi finals and one grand final. 17 songs will perform in each semi final, where the top 9 + the IJ favorite (of those outside of the top 9) will qualify to the final giving us 10 qualifiers from each semi final. The final will therefore consist of 21 songs where the host of the contest is pre-qualified. The reservation period began on July 7 and lasted until July 14, and entries were selected via an internal selection or national finals. During the semi final and the final, each participating country award points to their top 10 songs, by using the traditional Eurovision system of 12, 10, and 8-1 points. The countries are however not allowed to vote for their own song.

The allocation draw of the semi finals were held on July 14, while the running order of each semi final was made randomly on July 15 by the host broadcaster.
