Location
Aarhus or Århus is the second-largest city in Denmark. The principal port of Denmark, Aarhus is on the east side of the peninsula of Jutland in the geographical centre of Denmark. Aarhus is the seat of the council of Aarhus municipality with 319,094 inhabitants and 256,018 (1 January 2013) in the inner urban area. According to Aarhus municipality, the "Greater Aarhus" area has a population of about 1.25 million people. The city claims the unofficial title "Capital of Jutland".
Aarhus is the main and biggest city in the East Jutland metropolitan area (Danish: Byregion Østjylland), which is a co-operation in eastern Jutland with 17 municipalities. With more than 1.2 million people living in the East Jutland metropolitan area it represents approximately 23% of the population of Denmark. Aarhus has the second-largest urban area in Denmark after Copenhagen.
The city lies roughly at the geographical centre of Denmark on the peninsula of Jutland. Forests reach from the south into the city to within a kilometre (0.6 mi) of the city centre, because the city has grown around the forest, and some forest areas are completely surrounded by the city, such as Riis Skov. The city is built mostly around the harbour, which is predominantly industrial, although a large recreational marina is situated south of it as an extension.
Bidding phase
The bidding phase started on 13 September 2013. Herning and Esbjerg joined the phase with Jyske Bank Boxen and Blue Water Arena respectively.
It was rumored that the capital, Copenhagen, would not join the bidding phase. However it was revealed on 19 September 2013 that Copenhagen entered the phase with the largest venue of Denmark, the Parken Stadium. The B&W Hallerne would be the venue to be added for Copenhagen but withdrew due to the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.
The Gigantium and the Atletion located in Aalborg and Aarhus respectively, also entered the phase on 19 September 2013. Horsens also joined the phase with the venue being the courtyard of the former Horsens State Prison but withdrew on 20 September due to the city's lack of sufficient hotel capacity.
Copenhagen placed another bid with B&W Hallerne, the venue that will host the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. Even though it was announced that the venue would not be able to host, at the end it entered the bid. The submissions for placing bids on hosting the contest closed on 23 September 2013.
On 24 September, Aarhus was announced as the host city along with the logo and the theme of the edition. Danmarks Radio (DR) announced that the venue would have a permanent roof for the show. However it was later decided that the roof won't be permanent. The works on the arena started in mid-September and the arena was ready in early October for the rehearsals and the shows.

Format

The song which scored the highest overall rank received 12 points, while the tenth-best ranked song received 1-point. The split results were announced some weeks after the final results. However, every country had the right to present their own split results.

Each country's broadcaster posted a poll for each sneak peek and according the combined results for each sneak peek, the betting odds were calculated.
Official sponsors of the contest were the Danish brewing company Carlsberg, the international company Coloplast and the Danish manufacturer, seller, installer, and servicer of wind turbines Vestas.
Semi-final allocation draw

Belgium, Bulgaria and Slovakia were drawn to vote in the first semi-final while Denmark and France were drawn to vote in the second semi-final. The rest forty-three countries were divided into eight pots, based on their geographical place. Each time a country was drawn from the pot, its semi-final and half of the semi-final was determined.
The eight pots were the following:

Incidents
Finnish artist replacement
On 27 September, the winner of the Finnish selection was announced. However, the winner wasn't eligible to participate in the contest as the singer was only 14 years old. It was later decided by YLE that Jenni Vartiainen, who finished fourth in the selection, would represent the country with the song "En haluu kuolla tänä yönä".
Fake Italian withdrawal
RAI Uno made a fake statement, that they would withdraw, hours after the deadline, passed because of the bad reviews from the third sneak peek. However, the story turned out to be a hoax, as RAI Uno later stated. RAI Uno had shown, that the media would go wild, if any country would withdraw from North Vision.
Luxembourger song change
After the winning song of the national selection was confirmed, RTL has been criticized and received mixed feedback from the Luxembourger fans. It was then rumored that the song would be changed but after a meeting of the RTL heads, it was decided to keep the song in the competition.
Other countries
Countries that are active members of the North Broadcasting Union (NBU), are also eligible to participate in the North Vision Song Contest. As in every edition, an invitation to all the members had been sent in order to confirm whether they will participate or not. Forty-eight countries confirmed their participation in the edition. The following list of countries declined stating their reasons as shown below.
Active NBU members
Bosnia and Herzegovina: On October 5th, BHRT announced it will be taking a break from the competition.- Hungary: On September 16th, M1 announced that they will not be in NVSC 5. They decided that financially, it wasn't possible. Hungary has said however that a return in NVSC 6 is highly possible.
- Iceland: On September 14th, RÚV stated that due to lack of budget and time, Iceland will take a break from North Vision. They stated however a return in NVSC 6 is likely.
- Malta: PBS confirmed that they will not be in NVSC 5. They stated that poor results and lack of interest was the reason for their decision.
NBU non-members
- Iran: Head of Iranian broadcaster IRIB told that Iran has made positive experiences with the participation in the East Vision Song Contest. However, the NBU rejected it with the executive supervisor saying that it is really implausible.
- Iraq: Iraq's head of delegation said that it would be a fresh and new opportunity to show the country's best side and share its music with the whole world. However, the NBU rejected it with the executive supervisor saying that it is really implausible.
