Participating countries that have full or additional full ABU membership are invited to submit a song to be performed in front of a live audience. The radio festival was a competitive show with a panel of judges determining the top-5 prize winners and is broadcast via live radio that later transitioned to a non-competitive gala format. The television festival which is a non-competitive, musical gala presentation, is live recorded so that each of the national broadcasters may add subtitles in their native languages.
