Eurovision 2023 will be hosted in the UK - and we want to know where you think it should be staged.
Several locations across the UK are in the running to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest after it was announced the United Kingdom will host the competition on behalf of war-torn Ukraine. And we're launching a survey to find out which town or city has the most support across the country.
The bidding process to select a host city begins this week, with the BBC and European Broadcasting Union (EBU) set to jointly make the final decision.
This is a survey that goes across all of Reach PLC's websites so while it may seem natural to say Liverpool should be the host city, other people across the UK will be voting for their hometown or nearest city and when everyone has voted we will have a clear picture of what the UK thinks.
Take our survey to pick which town or city you think should host the Eurovision Song Contest at this link or scroll down to fill it in.
It was agreed the UK should stage Eurovision 2023 after Sam Ryder came second in this year's competition to Ukraine, who won with Kalush Orchestra's performance of Stefania. It is tradition for the winning country to host the competition the following year, but organisers decided it could not be held in Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
It will be the ninth time Eurovision has taken place in the UK - more than any other country - with London, Edinburgh, Brighton, Harrogate and Birmingham all having staged the hugely popular annual celebration.
London has hosted the competition four times - in 1960, 1963, 1968 and 1977. In between it was held in Edinburgh in 1972, then Brighton two years later, while Harrogate was its home in 1982 and then Birmingham in 1998.
So, should next year's Song Contest return to one of its former host locations to carry on the tradition, or is it time for another city to give its own take on Eurovision? Tell us what you think in our survey below. You can also have your say in the survey below or click here.
Eurovision legend Cheryl Baker has told fans of the competition to get ready for "the biggest musical extravaganza in the world".
"I think it’s fantastic," said Cheryl, who won the competition along with fellow Bucks Fizz stars Bobby G, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston with their song Making Your Mind Up in 1981.
She added on BBC Breakfast: "It’s the biggest musical extravaganza in the world and it happens once a year and it’s coming to the UK. And I think actually as well, we came second to the Ukraine, it kind of makes sense that it comes here rather than anywhere else."
In a statement earlier this week, the EBU said: “The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest will not be in Ukraine but in support of Ukraine. We are grateful to our BBC partners for showing solidarity with us.
“I am confident that together we will be able to add Ukrainian spirit to this event and once again unite the whole of Europe around our common values of peace, support, celebrating diversity and talent.”
The BBC said the contest would be “unique” as it will “reflect Ukraine's victory in Turin” as well as “showcase the UK's vibrant music scene”.
