Bala Turkvision Song Contest 2017

Bala Turkvision Song Contest 2017 (Turkish: Bala Türkvizyon Şarkı Yarışması 2017) was to be the second edition of the Bala Turkvision Song Contest, which was to take place at the Saryarka Velodrome, in Astana, Kazakhstan; and organised by Adam Media Group. The contest was originally scheduled to take place in December 2016, but was cancelled due to on-going events in Turkey. Only five Turkic regions, which have either a large Turkic population or a widely spoken Turkic language, confirmed their participation in the contest before it was cancelled for the second year running on October 20, 2017. As of now, the future of the Bala Turkvision Song Contest remains uncertain.
