Big Four (song contests)

The term Big Four (Big Three until 2016) refers to four song competitions:

• the Eurectivision Song Contest
• the Sondriavision Song Contest
• the Sierravision Song Contest (formerly OTS Song Festival)
• the Bulungivision Song Contest

These contests happen at least once every three months in the following order:

• Sondriavision (February)
• Eurectivision (May)
• Bulungivision (August)
• Sierravision (November)

Until the creation of the Bulungivision Song Contest in 2016, the name Big Three was used. The name is an homage to the Big Four (Big Five beginning in 2011) countries that are directly qualified for the finals. The structure of the Big Four contests is inspired by the Eurectivision Song Contest, the oldest of the four.
