===Bidding phase===
According to the rules of the inaugural contest, the host broadcaster of the winning song would receive the first rights to host the next edition of the contest, however winning country Sedunn did decline hosting the 2022 edition of the Pacivision Song Contest. On 20 September 2021 PEB therefore launched a bidding process for hosting the Pacivision Song Contest 2022, publishing a list of criteria and requirements for the host city and venue. Interested broadcasters were to submit bids on behalf of the city through postal means, after which PEB would proceed to send all of them a bid book with more detailed requirements for the cities and broadcaster to submit their plans for review. The cities had until 26 October 2021 to draft and submit their detailed plans.


=== Bidding phase ===
Over the following weeks many countries expressed interest in hosting the event. On 22 September 2021, on behalf of the city of Gralois, Ikoania officially announced its bid, proposing the ''Century Arena'' as a possible venue to host the event.<ref>Flash News [https://tspforums.xyz/thread-2265-post-221308.html#pid221308| IATB bids for the hosting of the Pacivision Song Contest 2022]</ref>  The arena normally serves as a venue for annual events, notably the live IATB TV Awards.

During the event weeks a site called "Pacivision Village" was introduced in Gralois' 3rd district, where it was possible for fans and sponsors to watch performances by contest participants and local artists. The live shows were also broadcasted to it from the main venue.
 
==Production==
The Pacivision Song Contest 2022 was produced by the Ikoanian public broadcaster ''Ikoanian Avarez Television Broadcasting'' (IATB). The Ikoanian government allocated around 4 million TSP-$ as part of the budget needed to host the event, while the state of Gralois contributed around 5 million TSP-$ in total. The preliminary total budget for the show was 7.4 million TSP-$. Later the Gianlucian government and the music streaming service [[Audit (Pacifica)|Audit]] would also add another 2.5 million TSP-$ to the budget. Participation fees were once again not levied.
 
===Visual and Stage design===
Inspired by solar panels and modeled after the theme "Reach for the STARS", it was designed by artist and graphic designer Alcro Nehar working with stage designer Nevear Poletez. The Stage design is inspired by minimalistic shapes that can be seen when looking at the visual presentation.
 
===Presenters===

According to the rules of the inaugural contest, the host broadcaster of the winning song would receive the first rights to host the next edition of the contest, however winning country Sedunn did decline hosting the 2022 edition of the Pacivision Song Contest. On 20 September 2021 PEB therefore launched a bidding process for hosting the Pacivision Song Contest 2022, publishing a list of criteria and requirements for the host city and venue. Interested broadcasters were to submit bids on behalf of the city through postal means, after which PEB would proceed to send all of them a bid book with more detailed requirements for the cities and broadcaster to submit their plans for review. The cities had until 26 October 2021 to draft and submit their detailed plans.

Over the following weeks many countries expressed interest in hosting the event. On 22 September 2021, on behalf of the city of Gralois, Ikoania officially announced its bid, proposing the Century Arena as a possible venue to host the event.[1] The arena normally serves as a venue for annual events, notably the live IATB TV Awards.

Until 26 October 2021, no other city or broadcaster has presented a bid book to the PEB, thus Gralois was announced as the host city of the 2022 contest on 2 November 2021.[2]

Other sites

During the event weeks a site called "Pacivision Village" was introduced in Gralois' 3rd district, where it was possible for fans and sponsors to watch performances by contest participants and local artists. The live shows were also broadcasted to it from the main venue.

Production

The Pacivision Song Contest 2022 was produced by the Ikoanian public broadcaster Ikoanian Avarez Television Broadcasting (IATB). The Ikoanian government allocated around 4 million TSP-$ as part of the budget needed to host the event, while the state of Gralois contributed around 5 million TSP-$ in total. The preliminary total budget for the show was 7.4 million TSP-$. Later the Gianlucian government and the music streaming service Audit would also add another 2.5 million TSP-$ to the budget. Participation fees were once again not levied.

Visual and Stage design

Inspired by solar panels and modeled after the theme "Reach for the STARS", it was designed by artist and graphic designer Alcro Nehar working with stage designer Nevear Poletez. The Stage design is inspired by minimalistic shapes that can be seen when looking at the visual presentation.

Incidents

Frost Empire artist withdrawal

Frost Empire's artist Kevin "Kay" Shinano was supposed to participate in the contest in a duet with Mei Natsukawa in the original taping of the song "Nada sousou", Shinano fell ill shortly before the start of Pacivision and staff were unable to fix the credits of the song due to the timing of his illness.

Graphic mistakes

During the presenters listing the show's running order, the graphics switched Sedunn and Gianatla which draws 06 and 07 respectively. The mistake was corrected by the commentators and the recap later that evening showed the correct running order.
