Liverpool officially submits bid to host Eurovision Song Contest 2023

Liverpool has officially submitted its bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023.

The city has entered the first phase of the bidding process for the contest. Liverpool will be hoping to make the shortlist of potential host cities for next year's showpiece event.

The shortlist will be announced on BBC Radio 2 on Friday by the European Broadcasting Union. The UK will be hosting the 2023 contest after it came second in this year's contest. Ukraine won the competition but it was decided that the country would not be able to host the major event next year because of the ongoing Russian invasion.
