American Song Contest is an American adaptation of the popular music reality television competition “Eurovision Song Contest.” Aspiring and well known artist from all 50 U.S. states including five territories, and Washington D.C. compete for the title of “Best Original Song.”

The very first American Song Contest is hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson. The show airs on NBC from March 21 to April 28 while the live finale will be on May 9, which is in the same week as the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

The competition will involve five episodes of qualifying rounds, followed by two episodes of semi-finals and one final. In each qualifying round, a 56-member jury of music industry professionals (one for each state and territory) selects one song to advance to the semi-finals, while three songs will also advance after a 35-hour viewer voting period.

The final results will be presented in “Eurovision style,” with each jury member awarding their 12 points then adding in the viewers' points. The viewer votes will be weighted, with each state and territory being worth 12 points much like in Eurovision, thus giving all regions equal voting power while preventing populous states from dominating the voting process. The winning act will earn the title of “Best Original Song.”
