The Occitavision is a song competition held annually between the territories of Nova-Occitania, on the Microvision Song Festival model.

History

Occitania has always used national finals to choose his representative in the competition. In 2016 and 2017, two national finals were held and called Destination Rino Island and the Music Festival respectively. In 2018, TV OC decided to create a new format that would be identical for years to come. He was chosen on the image of the German Bundesvision Song Contest.

Format

The Occitavision follows a similar format as the Microvision Song Festival: All the territories of Nova-Occitania entered one song, and once all states have performed, a winner was decided by juries vote. The winner of the Occitavision is the Occitania candidate to the next Microvision Song Festival Edition. This shows acts as an occitanian preselection to the main show.

Hosting

If the choice of the organizer of the first edition had been decided unilaterally by TV OC, now the rule is that TV OC will organize with the local authorities the show in the winner of the previous year.

Logos

The original generic logo was introduced for the 2020 contest, to create a consistent visual identity. Nevertheless, a unique logo is in addition created to promote the competition each year.

Slogans

Since the creation of the contest, a slogan has been associated with each contest. The slogan is decided by the host territory and is then used to develop a visual design for the contest.

2018	Sezentrania	Share Your Anthem
2019	Aragon	Bajo el Mismo Sol (es: Under the Same Sun)

Rules

Territories that are part of the Union of Nova-Occitania are eligible to take part in the Occitavision. Since the 2020 edition, members of the Occitanian Commonwealth are also eligible to participate.

The submission of songs follows the same rules as the Microvision Song Festival, the main purpose of this contest aims to determine the representative of Nova-Occitania in this micro national contest.

Voting

Two types of entities are concerned by the vote, first of all the participants themselves, who vote for the other songs. Since the 2018 edition, international juries have also been asked to vote. In the case of the 2018 edition, the votes were never revealed. Then under the Popular Union regime, TV OC had orders to do not broadcast them with the goal of "not breaking the unity of the Popular Union".

Audiences

Occitavision is clearly the main TV OC program, as well as the most complex to organize. Below is a table with the audiences, the shows being in streaming, the audiences can change.

In addition, the copy of the 2018 edition was lost because it was deleted from the Rutube platform.
