Bidding
After Charles's win in Trondheim, there has been controversy between the Belgian broadcasters about whether to host or not. Therefore, with a meeting held after the Grand Final of the fifth edition, in Trondheim, it has been allowed for the Macanese broadcaster, TDM, which has ended second place in the previous contest, to be able to bid for hosting the sixth edition. The three proposed cities for the hosting were as the following:

Antwerp Hasselt Macau

With the head of delegation that has participated for Macau in the previous edition leaving the Macanese delegation, the probability of Macau hosting the sixth edition has been dismissed.

It also hosts Europe's second and the world's fourth largest sea port. It has a population of around 550 thousand, which makes it the second largest city in the country, after the capital Brussels.

The city has put its bid to host the contest with the famous Sportpaleis, which can accommodate 15.089 people in seats, and 23.000 standing. It has hosted concerts of many artists before, and many famous events. It is a strong contender to host the event.
