List of countries in the Own Africavision Song Contest

Fifty-six countries have participated in the Own Africavision Song Contest since it started in 2020. The contest, organised by the Own African Union of Broadcasting, is held between members of the Union. Broadcasters from different countries submit songs to the event, and cast votes to determine the most popular in the competition.

Participation in the contest is primarily open to all active member broadcasters of the OAUB. To be an active member, broadcasters must be a member of the Own African Union of Broadcasting. Eligibility to participate is determined by geographic inclusion within the continent of Africa.

The number of countries participating each edition has grown steadily. A record of 50 countries participated in the tenth edition. As the number of contestants has risen, preliminary competitions have been introduced, to ensure that as many countries as possible get the chance to compete. The 5 lowest-placed countries from each semi-finals in the previous edition have to participate in the quarter-final.
