American Song Contest

The American Song Contest 2022 will be the first edition of the American Song Contest. It will take place in Universal City, California. The contest will see all 50 U.S. states, five territories, and Washington, D.C. compete for the title of Best Original Song. Propagate Content and Universal Television Alternative Studio will produce the program and it will air on NBC. The contest will be held at Universal Studios Lot and consist of five qualification rounds, two semi-finals and a final over an eight-week period between March 21 and May 9, 2022.

Format[edit]

The American Song Contest is based off of the international song competition Eurovision Song Contest organized annually by the European Broadcasting Union.[1] Fifty-six artists will take part each representing one of the fifty U.S. states, all five populated U.S. territories, and Washington, D.C., the national capital and a federal district of the United States. The participating territories are American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.[2]

The contest will involve five qualifying rounds followed by two semi-finals and one final. In each qualifying round, a 56-member jury of music industry professionals (one for each state and territory) selects one song to advance to the semi-finals, while three songs will also advance after a three-day viewer voting window.[3] After the qualifying rounds, the jury will then select two "redemption songs" to join in the semi-finals, thus a total of 22 acts will remain in the competition.[3] The same selection process will be facilitated in the semi-finals to determine the 10 acts that will compete in the final.[3] The final results will be presented in Eurovision style, with each jury member awarding their 12 points then adding in the viewers' points.[3] The viewer votes will be weighted, with each state and territory be worth 12 points much like in Eurovision, thus giving all regions equal voting power while preventing populous states like California and Texas from dominating the voting process.[4]
