Entries are lining up for the Facebook show in aid of The Rockfield Centre on Friday May 15, the day before the real-thing would have been screened to milllions of viewers worldwide.
Spoof music videos or serious talent, the show will go on-line from 7pm via a specially-created Facebook page, says Rockfield Centre's Arts and Culture Co-ordinator Fee Shaw who came up with the idea to help raise £5,000 towards keeping the community hub ticking over during lockdown.
People wanting to watch the show can get more details on The Rockfield Centre's Facebook page. Entries should be e-mailed in plenty of time to arts@therockfieldcentre.org.uk
A virtual haircut via Zoom, a box of organic veg and a lego bundle are among prizes galore to be won by the best three entries as voted by the public.
'In the true spirit of Eurovision, entries can be whatever people want to do, really amazing talent or making a Tick Tok video going crazy with the kids. We can't wait to see what's sent in, It's going to be a fun night,' said Fee, a big fan of Eurovision.
'We hope that anyone we entertain will consider donating to our GoFundMe page which has a target of £5,000 to reach since Rockfield's usual income from hires and workshops, no longer exist at the moment.
'If people can't afford a donation, of course they can still 100 per cent join in and enjoy it but any money we make will all go towards ongoing running costs we still have during this difficult time. Most arts venues have completely closed but we remain open online to keep the community connected, supported and entertained.
'More than 7,000 people have already viewed our Facebook post about Obanvision, now all we need is for people to get creative and send in their entries,' said Fee.
If 2020 Eurovision went ahead, the world's biggest live music show would have been in its 65th year.
