@BumbacComeback@HushHushStan Just to confirm, this is not Eurovoix stepping away from Eurovision. This is me realising that running a second site not focused on Eurovision is no longer manageable.
When World first launched, I had far more time to invest in a second site; now is a good time to reflect on what my priorities are. Eurovoix remains a massive passion project for me, so I want to ensure it gets the attention it needs, rather than spreading myself too thin. (2/2)
I've seen a few people ask why the site is shutting and some really wild guesses. To make it clear, ultimately running two websites is a very time consuming activity. (1/2)
After more than a decade, we will be closing Eurovoix World on August 1. For over 10 years, we have brought audiences Song Contests across the globe. See the full statement attached:
@EurovisionTom@ImStevan Silk Way Star was held for the first time last year. It saw 12 singers from 12 countries competing, performing covers each week. The participating countries were: ๐ฆ๐ฒ, ๐ฆ๐ฟ, ๐จ๐ณ, ๐ฌ๐ช, ๐ฐ๐ฟ, ๐ฐ๐ฌ, ๐ฒ๐พ, ๐ฒ๐ณ, ๐ฐ๐ท, ๐น๐ฏ, ๐น๐ฒ, ๐บ๐ฟ. Last year, Kazakhstan was the organising broadcaster.
We're recruiting for new members of the Eurovoix team. This could be your chance to join a team with a passion for #Eurovision year-round.
If you enjoy writing, social media, or video editing, then we would love to hear from you. Weโre looking to broaden the diversity of our team, so we particularly welcome applications from across Europe and Asia.
If this sounds like you, drop us an email at [email protected] and tell us about who you are and how your Eurovision journey began.
Eurovoix turns 15 today. Itโs mad that something that started as me in my bedroom has grown into such a brilliant team. Thank you to the entire team and everyone who reads the site. The experiences and opportunities that have come from sharing a passion have been amazing.
It's our birthday! Today, Eurovoix turns 15, and it's time to reflect on everything that's happened and shaped the site over those years https://t.co/vz1npqu9rs
Really proud of the effort the team have put into this to get over 150 jurors voting this year. The first points in #Eurojury will start to be revealed tomorrow morning.
After over 2,500 acts have been contacted we are so close to start revealing the results in #Eurojury 2026 and itโs time for you to start voting and have your say
In things I wasn't expecting to happen today. I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to appear on the BBC World Service to discuss #Eurovision. You can hear me from 5 minutes in: https://t.co/M6XXZLqW0Y
@EurovisionTom Itโs interesting in that list of non Song Contest final hosts, youโve got JESC, EYM and EYD etc. hosts - ๐ต๐ฑ, ๐จ๐ฟ, ๐ธ๐ฎ, ๐ท๐ด, ๐ง๐ฌ, ๐จ๐พ, ๐ฒ๐น, ๐ฌ๐ช and ๐ฆ๐ฒ. Of those ๐ต๐ฑ, ๐จ๐ฟ, ๐ฆ๐ฒ and ๐ฒ๐น have hosted multiple editions.
My ask in return is this: before you go speculating, maybe just ask me directly and I can explain why four fantastic team members leaving isn't the end of a team of over 20 people wanting to continue bringing you coverage of an event that drew us all together.
I'll hold my hands up and say I was naive to think that reporting on an event by providing context would be enough. I've seen the feedback and I agree, it's not something that the site should do and as a result, the coverage has stopped.
I've been through ups and downs this past year, and like everyone, I have had to question my passion over the past two contests. But I want to be clear, we're still a fantastic team, we all deeply care and I want to see things get better.
