The event was a [[rip-off]] of the Eurovision Song Contest, with a number of heats in bars determining the "song" to be entered from each college.  For the final, YSTV had one camera filming the acts and being projected onto the big screen.  The show was presented by one time YSTV News Editor [[James Brookes]] and URY's Verity Wilde.  The main contribution of YSTV was during the results section.

For this we tricked the audience into thinking we were going "live" to all the undergraduate colleges across campus to speak to their juries, with a little help from [[Giles Burdett]]'s college map system previously seen on [[Elections 2004]].  Still photos of bars around campus were taken and used as backdrops on the green screen in the studio.  Many of those in the dining hall who'd had a few by this point were fooled!  [[Dave Baker]] designed a score board for the event, however this sadly went beserk after the first scores were put in so it was dropped.
