Location

Yottobán

Locations of the candidate cities (Unsuccessful cities are marked with blue dots).

On 2 July 2014, Yottobán was announced as host city of ISC 26. It is the biggest city in the country and residence of many international charities and embassies. The airport "Savannah Chikrunki" lies 15km away from the centre and Chrunotto Airlines, state-owned airline company, connects Chruno with the rest of the continent. The city owns the biggest arena in the country, built in 2006, and renewed and rebuilt in 2014. Yottobán is one of the safest cities in Internatia. The criminal rate is extremly low and therefore Yottobán's residents enjoy a high quality of life. On the referendum held half a year ago about racism and homophobia and citizens' opinion on immigrants and same-sex couples, it was shown that Yottobán is an open-minded city ready to accept everyone.

Bidding phase

On 1 July 2014 ChTV announced that the deadline for applications for hosting the 26th edition of Internatia Song Contest was over. 3 cities have submitted themselves - Batanýa, Costalis and the capital city of Yottobán.
