The Turkvision Song Contest (TSC, {{langx|tr|Türkvizyon Şarkı Yarışması}}), also known as the Türkvizyon Song Contest, has been a recurring song contest created by Turkish music channel TMB TV, inspired by the format of the Eurovision Song Contest. The first edition took place in Eskişehir, Turkey in December 2013.{{cite web|title=When Will Turkvision Be Held, Turkvision Dates|url=http://www.turkvision.info/When-Will-Turkvision-Be-Held,-Turkvision-Dates-3-h.htm|publisher=turkvision.info|access-date=16 November 2013|date=15 October 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131125023153/http://www.turkvision.info/When-Will-Turkvision-Be-Held,-Turkvision-Dates-3-h.htm|archive-date=25 November 2013}} Countries and regions which were Turkic-speaking and of Turkic ethnicity were eligible to participate in the song contest. The contest was last held on 20 December 2020 as an online event hosted from Istanbul, Turkey.{{cite web|url=https://eurovoix-world.com/2020/10/17/turkvision-song-contest-2020-officially-launched/|title=Turkvision Song Contest 2020 Officially Launched|date=2020-10-17|access-date=2020-11-13|work=Eurovoix World|first=Anthony|last=Granger}} Several cancellations followed, and the future of the Turkvision Song Contest now remains uncertain.
History
According to an October 2013 statement on the official website Turkvision.info: "Turkvision is a new contest inspired of Eurovision song contest. While Eurovision focuses in European countries, Turkvision is a contest whose participants are mainly from Turkish countries or Turkish spoken countries."{{cite web|title=What is Turkvision, How is the Format of Turkvision Song Contest|url=http://www.turkvision.info/What-is-Turkvision,-How-is-the-Format-of-Turkvision-Song-Contest-1-h.htm|publisher=turkvision.info|access-date=16 November 2013|date=15 October 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140125061953/http://www.turkvision.info/What-is-Turkvision-How-is-the-Format-of-Turkvision-Song-Contest-1-h.htm|archive-date=25 January 2014}} Turkvision was actually a song contest which was created by TÜRKSOY in cooperation with the Turkish music channel TMB TV.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} The participating countries and regions had to take part in the Semi Final.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} A juror from each nation awarded between 1 and 10 points for every entry, except their own.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} An amount of 12 to 15 nations qualified for the Grand Final where the jury determined the winner.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} TÜRKSOY stated that televoting would be introduced in the future, but this never took place.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}
Hosting of the Turkvision Song Contest took place in the country or region that also hosted the Turkic Capital of Culture instead of the previous year's winning country.{{cite web|title=Where Will Turkvision Be Held, In Which Country Is Turkvision|url=http://www.turkvision.info/Where-Will-Turkvision-Be-Held,-In-Which-Country-Is-Turkvision-4-h.htm|publisher=turkvision.info|access-date=16 November 2013|date=15 October 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160311020026/http://turkvision.info/where-will-turkvision-be-held%2C-in-which-country-is-turkvision-4-h.htm|archive-date=11 March 2016}}
In November 2020, the official Turkvision website posted that they hoped to stage the 2021 edition in Shusha, Azerbaijan.{{cite web |title=İNŞALLAH |url=http://www.turkvizyon.tv/yarismacilar/insallah/ |website=Turkvizyon.tv |date=17 November 2020 |access-date=17 November 2020}} This was confirmed in December 2020 by İslam Bağırov, the contest's general coordinator, though it was later revealed that the 2021 edition would be taking place in Turkistan, Kazakhstan.{{cite web|url=https://www.turkvizyon.tv/yarismacilar/turkvizyon-sarki-yarismasi-genel-koordinatoru-islam-bagirov-turkvizyon-hakkinda-aciklamalarda-bulundu/|title=Türkvizyon Şarkı Yarışması Genel Koordinatörü İslam Bağırov Türkvizyon Hakkında Açıklamalarda Bulundu|language=tr|date=2020-12-31|access-date=2020-12-31|website=turkvizyon.tv}}{{Cite web|date=8 June 2021|title=Turkvision 2021 to be Held in Turkistan, Kazakhstan|url=https://eurovoix-world.com/2021/06/08/turkvision-2021-turkistan/|access-date=9 June 2021|website=Eurovoix World}} However, the 2021 contest did not materialize.
On 1 February 2022, the Uzbekistan Tourism Ambassador announced on Twitter that the 2022 contest would take place in the first week of June 2022 in Fergana, Uzbekistan.{{Cite tweet|user=UZAmbassador|number=1488519826440085506|title=In the 1st week of June it's Turkvision, the Turkic world's answer to #Eurovision!

On 19 April 2024, Gunesh Abasova, Chairperson of the Turkvision 2020 jury and heavily involved in the contest since her participation in 2013, stated on social media that the contest is set to return in 2024. As part of a song release, she said that its music video would be premiered "at the large-scale competition Turkvision 2024".{{Cite news |last=Granger |first=Anthony |date=20 May 2024 |title=Turkvision Returning After Four Year Break? |url=https://eurovoix-world.com/2024/05/20/turkvision-returning-after-four-year-break/ |access-date=24 May 2024 |work=Eurovoix World}}

Twenty-four countries and regions took part in the first edition of Turkvision. There were several unsuccessful attempts to participate in the Turkvision Song Contest. Chuvashia, Russia, Turkmenistan, and Xinjiang were one of the original twenty-four participating areas with initial intentions to competing at the 2013 Contest, but later withdrew for undisclosed reasons.{{cite web|last=Granger|first=Anthony|title=Participating Countries Revealed|url=http://eurovoix.com/2013/10/19/turkvizyon-2013-participating-countries-revealed/|publisher=Eurovoix|access-date=25 October 2013|date=19 October 2013}}
Russia's Omsk Oblast broadcast the 2014 contest, but they have never made any statement regarding participation.{{cite web|title=Золотой голос тюркского народа выберут в прямом эфире 12 Канала|language=ru|url=http://gtrk-omsk.ru/news/158766/|website=GTRK Omsk|access-date=2020-11-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160423233156/http://gtrk-omsk.ru/news/158766/|archive-date=2016-04-23}} A delegation from another Russian federal subject, Kalmykia, attended the 2015 contest, but did not participate and have not made any subsequent statements regarding participation.{{cite web|last=Granger|first=Anthony|title=Kalmykia: Turkvizyon Debut in 2015? |url=https://eurovoix.com/2015/02/08/kalmykia-turkvizyon-debut-in-2015/|work=Eurovoix|date=2015-02-08|access-date=2020-11-19}}
