Own Africavision Song Contest Winners Edition 1 is an event edition organised to determine the Own Africavision Song Contest's best song after ten editions, respectively from Own Africavision Song Contest 1 to Own Africavision Song Contest 10. Eritrea was chosen as the host country. Organised by the Own African Union of Broadcasting and host broadcaster Eri-TV, the contest was held at the Asmara Theatre. The show was hosted by Senhit and Elham Mohammed.

Bidding phase
The hosting submissions started on 21 March 2022. Two countries applied to host the event: Eritrea and Mauritania. Bids from Cape Verde and DR Congo were also expected, however the broadcasters did not apply.

The host was selected through a poll. After some days of voting, Eritrea was selected as the host of the event with 86.36% of the votes.

Host City
Asmara is the capital and most populous city of Eritrea, in the country's Central Region. It sits at an elevation of 2,325 metres, making it the sixth highest capital in the world by altitude. The city is located at the tip of an escarpment that is both the northwestern edge of the Eritrean Highlands and the Great Rift Valley in neighbouring Ethiopia. In 2017, the city was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its well-preserved modernist architecture. The site of Asmera was first settled in 800 BC with a population ranging from 100 to 1,000. The city was then founded in the 12th century AD after four separate villages unified to live together peacefully after long periods of conflict. Under Italian rule the city of Asmara was made capital of Eritrea in the last years of the 19th century.

Venue
Asmara Theatre also known as Asmara Opera, is a theatre in Asmara, Eritrea. It was constructed in 1918 following a design by the Italian engineer Odoardo Cavagnari, with later renovations in 1936. The building combines elements of Romanesque Revival and neoclassicism. The painting of the ceiling of the auditorium shows the tendencies of the Art Nouveau. Indeed, the roof has paintings by Saverio Fresa with dance images. It was one of the most famous buildings in Italian Asmara.

Participants
Each country awarded points from one to eight, then ten and finally twelve for their ten most popular songs. Unlike in the Contest proper, viewers were allowed to vote for songs which had represented their country.
