The '''Pacivision Song Contest 2023''' will be the 3rd edition of the [[Pacivision Song Contest (Pacifica)|Pacivision Song Contest]].

However, the broadcaster declined hosting the it. Therefore the Pacivision Executive Board (PEB) once again opened a bidding to host the contest, which was won by the bid for [[Calicea (Pacifica)|Calicea]], [[Stoinia (Pacifica)|Stoinia]].<ref>''[https://thesouthpacific.org/t/pacivision-song-contest-hosting-bids/2805| PEB opens hosting bids for Pavision Song Contest 2023]'', 7 March 2023</ref> Organised by the PEB and the host broadcaster ''Terra Pacifica'', the contest will be held at the Pacifican Breeze Arena in late Summer 2023.

Like in Gralois, it is planned to introduce a "Pacivision Village" again, which serves as official Pacivision Song Contest fan and sponsors area during the event weeks, where it will be possible to watch performances by contest participants and local artists, as well as the live shows broadcast from the main venue. It is yet unknown, where the site will be set up.
The "Pacivision Village", which was introduced during the Pacivision Song Contest in Gralois, was not planned to return. Instead it was planned to have the event fully confined to the Pacifican Breeze Arena and as such scale it back to a level comparable of that of the first edition of the contest.


==Production==
==Production==
The Pacivision Song Contest 2023 will be produced by the Stoinian public broadcaster Terra Pacifica. <!--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-$.-->
The Pacivision Song Contest 2023 was supposed to be produced by the Stoinian public broadcaster Terra Pacifica. Due to not receiving the necessary funding by the Stoinian government, the event never got out of its planning stages. The PEB and Terra Pacifica have not commented how much money was missing, but experts assume that at least TSP-$ 15 million would have been needed to host the contest and broadcast the show to all participating countries.
===Visual and stage design===
While Terra Pacifica has not revealed any staging plans, the PEB has revealed several graphics that were planned to be used to announce the upcoming songs. The ''stage ready graphics'' showed a tidal wave in the main colours of the participating country's flag with its name on top of the wave. Below, information about the upcoming song was depicted in several boxes of different shades of blue. This was all encompassed by water bubbles within a dark blue environment creating the illusion, that the viewer would dive deep to reach the song.

===Running-Order===
The running-order was determined by producers of Terra Pacifica on 12 August 2023 and sent to the PEB on the same day. The producers decided against a random draw to have more freedom in "creating a show telling a story".


===Allocation draw===
The planned running-order looked as follows:
<!--The draw determining the running-order, in which the participating countries may present their songs to the audience was held on 13 February 2022 in the city hall of [[Gralois (Pacifica)|Gralois]]. The countries and their starting positions were drawn by two of the hosts of the event, Estella Casvelez and Marco Zarez, from two separate bowls. The process was supervised by the executive supervisor of the Pacivision Song Contest [[Paro Ytti (Pacifica)|Ytti]], the head of broadcaster IATB, Opan Avarez, and the mayor of Gralois, Arneslo Valpelez.<ref>[https://tspforums.xyz/thread-10221-post-227392.html#pid227392 PSC 2022 allocation draw live from Gralois].

2022 ← Pacivision Song Contest → 2024

The Pacivision Song Contest 2023 was planned to be the 3rd edition of the Pacivision Song Contest. Following the Gianlucian victory in the 2022 contest in Gralois, Ikoania, their broadcaster BUS TV would have taken precedence in hosting the 2023 edition of the event. However, the broadcaster declined hosting the event. Therefore the Pacivision Executive Board (PEB) once again opened a bidding for contest hosting rights, which was won by the bid for Calicea, Stoinia.[1] Organised by the PEB and the host broadcaster Terra Pacifica, the contest was supposed to be held at the Pacifican Breeze Arena in late Summer 2023. Due to financial problems by the designated broadcaster, the contest was cancelled on 1 September 2023[2].

Unitl the official cancellation, a record number of 26 countries had applied for the contest, out of which 17 would have given their debut, including the host country Stoinia,

Location

Bidding phase

On 7 March 2023, PEB launched the bidding process and published a list of criteria and requirements for the host city and venue. Interested broadcasters were to submit bids on behalf of the city electronically, 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 24 March 2023 to draft and submit their detailed plans.

On 10 March 2023, on behalf of the city of Calicea, Stoinia officially announced its bid, proposing the Pacifican Breeze Arena as a possible venue to host the event.[3] Since PEB's minimum hosting requirements were met by the application of Terra Pacifica and no other broadcaster submitted a big book to the PEB, Calicea was officially announced as the host city of the 2023 contest on 25 March 2023.[4]

Other sites

The "Pacivision Village", which was introduced during the Pacivision Song Contest in Gralois, was not planned to return. Instead it was planned to have the event fully confined to the Pacifican Breeze Arena and as such scale it back to a level comparable of that of the first edition of the contest.

Production

The Pacivision Song Contest 2023 was supposed to be produced by the Stoinian public broadcaster Terra Pacifica. Due to not receiving the necessary funding by the Stoinian government, the event never got out of its planning stages. The PEB and Terra Pacifica have not commented how much money was missing, but experts assume that at least TSP-$ 15 million would have been needed to host the contest and broadcast the show to all participating countries.

Visual and stage design

While Terra Pacifica has not revealed any staging plans, the PEB has revealed several graphics that were planned to be used to announce the upcoming songs. The stage ready graphics showed a tidal wave in the main colours of the participating country's flag with its name on top of the wave. Below, information about the upcoming song was depicted in several boxes of different shades of blue. This was all encompassed by water bubbles within a dark blue environment creating the illusion, that the viewer would dive deep to reach the song.
