Our World Song Contest 1

The Our World Song Contest 1 was the 1st Our World Song Contest. The contest took place in Tallinn, Estonia. 24 countries participated

The design of the contest was built around the theme "Feel The Rhythm". The postcards between the songs were focused around people in their home countries dancing to their own song.

The winner for 2013 was Germany with the song "Evacuate the Dance Floor", sung by Cascada, which finished first with 215 points, beating the host country Estonia with 52 points. The United States finished in third place and Denmark in fourth.

Location
The Estonian broadcaster Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR) announced that the Nokia Concert Hall in Tallinn would be the host venue for the 1st Our World Song Contest.

Tallinn, in the northern portion of Harjumaa, is Estonia's capital and most populated city.

Bidding phase
At first there it was considered that the contest could be held in 3 different venues in Tallinn and Pärnu.

It was later announced that Pärnu had withdrawn from the bidding process so Tallinn was the only choice left.

Format
Each member of a respective nation's jury was required to rank every song, except that of their own country. The voting results from each member of a particular nation's jury were combined to produce an overall ranking from first to last place. Likewise, the televoting results were also 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 produced an overall ranking of all competing entries. The song which scored the highest overall rank received 12 points, while the tenth-best ranked song received 1-point.

Running order
The running order was sorted out randomly by a generator. An additional running order sorting was created for the finalists. The host country, Estonia performed 6th.

Participating countries
It was announced that 24 countries would compete in the 1st Our World Song Contest.
