Our European Song Festival 4

Our European Song Festival 4, often referred to as OESF 4, will be the fourth edition of the Our European Song Festival. The contest will be held in, following Adna's victory in Vienna with "Closure".

The contest was originally shut down in 1 April 2019, after the conclusion of the 3rd edition alongside to Google+'s shutdown. However, the OEBU head members will have a meeting in June 2019 deciding whether the 4th edition will take place in Discord. If the decision is positive, the edition is expected within the summer of that year. If the decision ends out negative, the contest will be rearchived once and for all. On 10th June, all head members collectively decided that the contest will reopen, and so it happened not long afterwards.

Since the 4th edition was the first one after a long hiatus, only 12 countries could compete.

Bidding phase
After OEBU revealed that a 4th edition would take place, the winners of the third one, Sweden, were invited to host, and they accepted. Sweden has had experience hosting OESF events, after previously hosting the first edition, in Scandinavium of Gothenburg.

Gothenburg announced that they would like to host the contest again, yet Malmö and Stockholm both bidded to host the edition. For the first time in the contest's history, the host city would actually be chosen via a bidding phase.
