Own Eurovision Song Contest 10

Own Eurovision Song Contest 10, often referred to as OESC #10, is the 10th edition of Own Eurovision Song Contest. The 10th edition was the 2nd Special Edition. All the countries must have send an entry which performed in one of the previous editions. The Special Edition's name is: "Best of". It is hosted in Copenhagen, Denmark, after Aura Dione won OESC #09 in Malmo, Sweden.

Forty-three countries confirmed participation in the tenth edition with Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Greenland and Norway returning in the competition. Åland Islands, Albania, Italy, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Slovakia and Switzerland have announced their withdrawal. For the first time in the history of the contest we have the Big 6, following the error in the scoreboard from previous edition and 27 countries in the Grand Final.

The contest was won by Armin van Buuren and Sharon den Adel performing "In and out of Love" for Netherlands. They managed to receive 163 points, winning with a margin of 16 points in front of Malta which came 2nd. Third place went to the host country, Denmark. Belgium got 4th place and 5th place went to Moldova. It was also the first time an automatic qualified country won the contest since the rule's introduction in the second edition.

Host City
Copenhangen is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. The city has a population of 799,033 (638,117 in Copenhagen Municipality, 103,677 in Frederiksberg Municipality, 42,670 in Tårnby Municipality, and 14,569 in Dragør Municipality).

Copenhagen is situated on the eastern coast of the island of Zealand; another portion of the city is located on Amager, and it is separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the strait of Øresund. The Øresund Bridge connects the two cities by rail and road.

Copenhagen is home to the University of Copenhagen, the Technical University of Denmark, Copenhagen Business School and the IT University of Copenhagen. The University of Copenhagen, founded in 1479, is the oldest university in Denmark. Copenhagen is home to the F.C. Copenhagen. The annual Copenhagen Marathon was established in 1980. Copenhagen is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world.

Movia is the public mass transit company serving all of eastern Denmark, except Bornholm. The Copenhagen Metro, launched in 2002, serves central Copenhagen. Additionally, the Copenhagen S-train, the Lokaltog (private railway), and the Coast Line network serve and connect central Copenhagen to outlying boroughs. Serving roughly 2.5 million passengers a month, Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is the busiest airport in the Nordic countries.
