Editor's Message With the festive season a couple of weeks away and 2013 drawing to a close, it brings us to that time of year when we reflect back on the last 12 months as a project community, and look ahead as things to come in the following 12 months. 2013 has been a busier year for Project Eurovision. Many project discussion, some peaceful, some over-heated, but achieving progress on a whole. Malmö played hosts to the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, which saw the bookmakers favourite, Emmelie de Forest win for Denmark with song "Only Teardrops". And so we're off to the Eurovision Island located in wonderful Copenhagen, next May. It is also worth pointing out at this stage that the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 article was also promoted to good article status on 14 November. There is a teamwork barnstar below for all those who helped to contribute towards the article. In October, the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, played host to the 2013 ABU TV Song Festival - an annual gala of performances from the Asia-Pacific region, with four nations making their debut. The ABU Radio Song Festival took a year break and will return in May 2014, with Sri Lanka as hosts. The 2014 edition of the ABU TV Song Festival will take place later in the year, in Macau. Kiev played host to the 2013 Junior Eurovision Song Contest last month, with San Marino making their debut. Many changes were introduced to the contest this year, with awards being given to the countries who finished in the top-3 of the overall results. Belarus snatched 3rd place, with Ukraine coming in 2nd place, and Gaia Cauchi providing Malta with the Mediterranean island's first ever contest win in either Eurovision or Junior Eurovision. The result also made it the first time a song performed entirely in English had won Junior Eurovision. The EBU invited Malta to host the next edition, to which they have accepted. So we look forward to seeing how Malta showcase their country to the rest of Europe. The project welcomes aboard our scope of contests, the Türkvizyon Song Contest. This is Turkey's attempt at running their own Eurovision Song Contest. Türkvizyon 2013 will take place in a few days in the city of Eskişehir, and already has 23 former Turkic dynasties and countries. The project itself has also gone through some changes over the last 12 months. In September, Project Eurovision celebrated its 10th birthday, with a short mention appearing in Wikipedia's "Signpost" newsletter. Also the project and portal spaces received a makeover, with easier navigating tools to help you jump from one area to the next without having to go via the home page. Suggestions of having our own "Did you know?" section on the project front page have been made, and a discussion will open in the new year to read your views on this. All this is in the hope of enticing more editors to join the project, to create a friendlier and more fun project to be a part of, and to showcase to the wider community that we are a serious project with high ambitions and the capability to produce high quality articles, in a way the more larger projects are doing currently. Remember to maintain a teamwork atmosphere, it is that which makes us one of the most efficient projects on Wikipedia. And also be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post {{subst:EurovisionInvite}} (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join. And so I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our project members a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
