Welcome to your Eurovision Song Contest.

This was the tenth edition of the Yourovision Song Contest, held in August 2014, in San Marino, the winning country of the ninth edition of the contest.

This edition saw a pleasant increase in number of participants, with seven countries returning to the contest, and Chile making their début. The contest also saw the return of Poland, who had originally signed up to take part in the first edition, but then withdrew, not to be heard from since.

Additionally, Sweden used the Voice of Yourovision national final format to choose its entry for this contest, making it the second time the format has been used in the contest, after Japan in the eighth edition.

Canada chose to return to the contest in this edition, and their song, "Wingin' It", by Stereos, is, to date, officially the shortest song to take part in the Yourovision Song Contest, standing at roughly 1:40 in length.

The results of this edition were the closest in Yourovision history, with the final result presenting first place with a new record for highest point-score, and last place with a new record for lowest point-score, at 102 and 9, respectively, surpassing the previous records of 101 and 16. Additionally, "Alice E Il Blu" is the first song to win Yourovision that is not in the English language.
