Bala Turkvision Song Contest
Bala Turkvision Song Contest (Turkish: Bala Türkvizyon Şarkı Yarışması), also known as Bala Türkvizyon Song Contest in English, was an annual song contest, inspired by the format of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The first edition took place in Turkey. Countries and regions which are Turkic-speaking and of Turkic ethnicity are eligible to participate in the song contest. Songs had to be in the countries' national language. To date, that was the only ever time the event was held, and it has not been held since.

Format
Bala Turkvision was an annual song contest. Based on the similar format of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, Bala Turkvision focused primarily on participating Turkic countries and regions. A juror from each nation awarded between 1 and 10 points for every entry, except their own. In the Grand Final the jury determined the winner. Unlike the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in which the winning country proceeds to host the following year's event, hosting of the Bala Turkvision Song Contest took place in the country or region that was also hosting the Turkish Capital of Culture.[1] So far, only one Bala Turkvision Song Contest was held, in 2015, and is now unlikely to be held again.
