Our World Song Contest 2

The Our World Song Contest 2 will be the 2nd Our World Song Contest. The contest will take place in Hamburg, Germany. 19 countries have so far confirmed their participation. 2 countries have confirmed to withdraw.

The design of the contest will be built around the theme "Evacuate the Dance Floor", a theme by the name of Germany's winning song.

Location
The German broadcaster ARD announced that the Hamburg Exhibition Centre in Hamburg would be the host venue for the 2nd Our World Song Contest. No bidding phase was held, as Hamburg was the only candidate.

Format
Each member of a respective nation's jury is required to rank every song, except that of their own country. The voting results from each member of a particular nation's jury will be combined to produce an overall ranking from first to last place. Likewise, the televoting results will also be interpreted as a full ranking, taking into account the full televoting result rather than just the top ten. The combination of the jury's full ranking and the televote's full ranking produce an overall ranking of all competing entries. The song which scores the highest overall rank receives 12 points, while the tenth-best ranked song receives 1 point.

Participating countries
30 countries will participate in the 2nd edition.
