Format
Turkvision was an annual song contest which was created by TÜRKSOY in cooperation with the Turkish music channel TMB TV. Based on the similar format of the Eurovision Song Contest, Turkvision focused primarily on participating Turkic countries and regions. The participating countries and regions had to take part in the Semi Final. A juror from each nation awarded between 1 and 10 points for every entry, except their own. An amount of 12 to 15 nations qualified for the Grand Final where the jury determined the winner. TÜRKSOY stated that televoting would be introduced in the future, but it never eventuated.Unlike the Eurovision Song Contest in which the winning country proceeded to host the following year's event, hosting of the Turkvision Song Contest took place in the country or region that also hosted the Turkic Capital of Culture.
