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.

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.
