When the EBU announced this new contest they made clear that Friesland was choosen as region to host this first edition. The Frisians announced later on that "De Harmonie" was selected as host venue. This means that the city of Leeuwarden got the honour to be the first hosting city.

De Harmonie has a capacity of 1.000 seats.

Format
For this very first edition, the EBU decided to select thirteen regions all over Europe and Australia to take part in this edition. The most important thing was that the entries were peformed to show the ethnical background of the nation or the people groups. The EBU prefered that the songs were sung in a minority language, but this was not obbligaroty.

After that all the participating regions have sang their song, each single region awards a set of points. The country who gets the most amount of points wins the contest. If two or more regions receive the same number of points, the country that got the highest point will rank higher.

In this contest, also regions from Australia and the United States are able to take part.
