List of countries in the Own Americavision Song Contest

Thirty-seven countries have participated in the Own Americavision Song Contest since it started in 2017. The contest, organised by the Own American Broadcasting Association, 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.

Participants
The following table lists the countries that are eligible to participate in the contest.

Unsuccessful attempts to participate
There have been several unsuccessful attempts to participate in the Own Americavision Song Contest. For broadcasters to participate, they must be a member of the OABA and register their intention to compete before the deadline specified in the rules of that edition. Each participating broadcaster pays a fee towards the organisation of the contest. Should a country withdraw from the contest after the deadline, they will still need to pay these fees, and may also incur a fine or temporary ban.

Caribbean Netherlands
has never participated in the Own Americavision Song Contest. Although several American fans campaigned for a place in the competition for BES Islands, the broadcaster has shown no interest.

In June 2021, the broadcaster finally applied and gained their OABA membership and confirmed their debut in the 11th edition. However, the next day, due to unknown circumstances, the broadcaster announced that they would not be debuting.

A second attempt of the nation to join the competition happened before the 12th edition, but this time the interest came from the islands of Bonaire and Saba which wanted to compete separately. However, the council rejected their application because the Caribbean Netherlands can only compete as one entity according to the rules of the contest.

Falkland Islands
The national broadcaster Falkland Islands Television (FITV) has been attempting to gain OABA membership and thus participate independently in the contest.

FIRS submitted its application for OABA membership in September 2020. If accepted, FITV would have gained full membership and would have been able to send an entry to the 10th edition. However, Falkland Islands did not appear on the official list of participants for that edition. In early 2021 it was announced by a representative of FITV that Falkland Islands would not be able to take part until a new head of delegation will be appointed, as the previous one "suddenly disappeared".
