Own Americavision Song Contest Winners Edition 1 is an event edition organised to determine the Own Americavision Song Contest's best song after ten editions, respectively from Own Americavision Song Contest 1 to Own Americavision Song Contest 10. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was chosen as the host country and the venue was the Peace Memorial Hall.

Second place went to Puerto Rico’s "Fight Like a Man" performed by Angie Rose. In the past she won the contest in the 9th edition. Third place got Cayman Islands entry "Pretty Head" performed by Transviolet who won the competition in the 4th edition.

Bidding phase
The hosting submissions started on 23 November 2020. Five countries applied to host the event: Belize, Greenland, Northern Mariana Islands, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Bids from Curaçao and Sint Maarten were also expected, however the broadcasters did not apply.

The host was selected through a poll. After some days of voting, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was selected as the host of the event with 40% of the votes.

Host City
Kingstown is the capital, chief port, and main commercial centre of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. With a population of 16,500 (2010), Kingstown is the most populous settlement in the country. It is the centre for the island's agricultural industry and a port of entry for tourists. The city lies within the parish of Saint George in the south-west corner of Saint Vincent.

The modern capital, Kingstown, was founded by French settlers shortly after 1722, although Saint Vincent had 196 years of British rule before its independence.

The botanical garden, conceived in 1765, is one of the oldest in the Western hemisphere. William Bligh, made famous from the Mutiny on the Bounty, brought seed of the Breadfruit tree here for planting, circa 1793.

The city is served by Argyle International Airport, which has commercial passenger services to the United States, Canada and, soon, to the United Kingdom.

Venue
The St. Vincent Memorial Hall, better known as the Peace Memorial Hall is located at Richmond Hill in the vicinity of the UWI School of Continuing Studies. Peace Memorial Hall was rebuilt in 2002 as the main cultural centre in Kingstown. It is managed by a board and is expected to be self-sustaining by its activities.

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.
