On 17 August 2013, the Tikatan broadcaster Royal Tikatan Radio Television (RTRT) announced that Noor Arena in Tramandi would be the host venue for the 15th Internatia Song Contest. This would be the first time that the competition would be held in Tikata.[3]

RTRT had expressed the desire to host the contest in a smaller city and in the medium venue. This were factors in the choice of Noor Arena as the host venue, and Tramandi, 7th largest city in Tikata.

Bidding phase

Tikatas's first Internatia appearance was in 2nd edition in Zinzolin, Spirevo when they came 12th. Prior to Tikata's win in ISC 13 theire best placing was 4th in ISC 3 and ISC 9. Tikata finished in Top 10 seven times in 12 participations, Tikata is also one of three countries that always qualify to final of ISC since it implementation (other being Kosma and Sunetti).

Five cities have been considered as host city of the contest, including three state capitals: Surme, Tramandi and Zixan. The Surme Arena, Which hosted Internatia Second Chance Contest 1 was the first venue to join the bidding phase. Surmian bid is supported by neighbor City of Grusse.

On 4 August 2013 City Council of Royal City of Madakia, capital of Tikata, rejected a proposed bid. Madakian mayor, Oscar Pande praised the decision and described Internatia Song Contest as "unimportant and too expensive event". Decision was criticized by national politicians, Prime Minister of Tikata called it "a pure political decision". According to recent poll, 77% of Madakians supported the idea of bid.

Tikatan Minister of Culture confirmed on 3 August 2013 that RTRT and future host city will have full support of government, and that national broadcaster will receive additional funding.

The strongest candidate to present contest is Victoria Pussypayeva, former First Lady of Kosma and very popular Tikatan presenter.

Controversies

  Countries in the second semi-final
  Host

Semi allocation

KBC, Kosmanaut Broadcaster submitted official complain, about the way Kosma and Tonallán were separated in semis. KBC argued that Tonallán should compete in Semi-final 1. No other broadcaster complained about the draw show, so RTRT rejected Kosmanaut complain.

Size of Semi-finals

Several broadcasters expressed their concerns about big number of participating countries in both semi-finals. For the first time since introduction of semi-finals, chance of qualifying is below 50%, and stands at 44%. RTRT decided to call a special meeting to discuss the matter.

Format

Noor Arena, venue of the ISC 15.

On 5 September RTRT proposed, and implemented a change in rules (that is suppose to be only for this edition of contest). It was decided that additional country will qualify from both semi-finals. 13th qualifier will be highest rated song in ranking of jury, outside TOP 12 of semi.

Some broadcaster expressed their concerns about this rule, but majority supported decision of RTRT.

Participants

Record number of 55 countries confirmed participation in Internatia Song Contest 15.[4] Angellandia, Caprika, Fierce, L.M Lažovi and Stylé debuted in the contest, Fervorosia and San Remo returned, while Swelatie decided to withdraw. Its a first time in history of Internatia Song Contest that more than 50 countries participate in one edition.

National broadcasters had time till 1 September 2013 to confirm their participation. Draw and Semi allocations was decided on the same day in City Hall in Tramandi, when 54 countries were divided in to two semi-finals. Tikata draw in the final was also decided.

Two semi-finals consisted 27 countries each. The top 12 songs qualified for the final, and a 13th was determined by the juries (countries from other semi). Twenty-seven songs competed in the final.

Semi-final results were announced on 16 September 2013. Hanzyuki, Fierce, and Tjärsklanjska qualified to final for the first time, while Symphony Isles failed to qualify for the first time in history of contest. Fierce was the only debuting country (out of 5) that qualified to final.
