The OGAE Video Contest has been running since 2003 and is run by the international branch of Eurovision fan clubs known as Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision, English translation General Organisation of Eurovision Fans, or OGAE for short.

OGAE International Network previously announced that the Presidents of OGAE clubs around the world approved to merge the OGAE Song Contest and the OGAE Video Contest from 2022 into the OGAE Song Contest.

The OGAE International Network will decide which of the two winning clubs will host OGAE Song Contest 2022.

OGAE Australia won the 2021 OGAE Song Contest, thanks to Tones And I's 'Fly Away'.

So we will have to wait and see if OGAE Australia or OGAE France will host next years Contest.
