The Pacivision Song Contest 2022 is set to be the 2nd edition of the Pacivision Song Contest. Following the Sedunnic victory in the 2021 contest in Südtor, GI-Land with the song "Never wanted this to end" by Illkrom Blenienn and Rila Jok, the Pacivision Executive Board (PEB) has accepted hosting bids from all countries eligible to participate. The bid for Gralois, Ikoania has won the bidding phase. The contest is due to be organised by the PEB and the host broadcaster Ikoanian Avarez Television Broadcasting (IATB), the contest will be held at the Century Arena. The final will be held on the 28th of February 2022. The final will be presented by Ikoanian presenter Estella Casvellez, Singer Marco Zarez and Actress Polla Altez.

Eleven countries will be participating in the contest. Arnchow, Esfalsa, Frost Empire and the host country Ikoania is set to participate for the first time. Eareamland, Mauquibie and New Itomorii have announced their non-participation due to several reasons.

Location

The 2022 contest will take place in Gralois, Ikoania, following the country's bid. It is the first time that Ikoania hosts the contest, as well as the first Pacivision to be held in Bailtem. The selected venue is the 9,500-seat Century Arena, which serves as a venue for events and has annually hosted the Live IATB TV Awards.

According to the rules, the host broadcaster of the winning song would receive the rights to host the next edition of the contest, but this rule was introduced after the conclusion of the 2021 edition. Sedunn did not enter a submission, hence not becoming the next host.

Bidding phase

On 20 September 2021, 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 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.

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] Over the following weeks many countries expressed interest in hosting the event.

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]

Format

Visual 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 is inspired by minimalistic shapes that can be seen when looking at the visual presentation.

Presenters

Estella Casvellez, Marco Zarez and Polla Altez are the host of the 2022 contest with Polla Altez also being the host for the green room.

Casvellez is known for her role as a presenter in the Ikoanian version of the hit TV gameshow, Countdown. Casvellez is known to be able to speak Alman fluently thus filling the role of the Alman speaking presenter. Zarez is known for his pop song "Ulterior Motives" which hit the top of the Ikoanian Music Tops charts for 2017 and winner of the 2018 IATB Music Award. And Altez is known for her role in many roles in Ikoanian movies and have won the Avarez for two times in a row, the only person to ever do so.

Allocation draw

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. 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 Ytti, the head of broadcaster IATB, Opan Avarez, and the mayor of Gralois, Arneslo Valpelez.[3]
