OTI Song Festival

Based On “Eurovision Song Contest”

OTI Festival (Spanish: Festival OTI de la Canción / Gran Premio de la Canción Iberoamericana, Portuguese: Festival OTI da Canção / Grande Prêmio da Canção Ibero-Americana), often known simply as La OTI, was an international song competition organised annually by the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) among its members for 28 editions between 1972 and 2000. Each participating broadcaster submitted an original song representing its country, in Spanish or Portuguese, to be performed and broadcast live to all of them via satellite, and then there was a vote to determine a winner. The festival was a spin-off of the Eurovision Song Contest for Ibero-American broadcasters, and it was preceded by the Festival Mundial de la Canción Latina, held in 1969 and 1970 in Mexico City. The first OTI Festival was held on 25 November 1972 in Madrid and the last one was held on 20 May 2000 in Acapulco.
