The Amerivision Song Contest 1972 was the seventeenth edition of the annual Amerivision Song Contest, organised by the American Broadcasting Union (ABU) and host broadcaster Rede Tupi. The edition was hosted in Auditório Araújo Vianna, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, as the country earned the right to host the contest by winning the previous edition.
This edition is notable for a massive movement in the countries participating, this edition marked the return of Paraguay to the contest after being absent for the last two contests, the debut of Ecuador and Martinique, and the withdraw of three countries: Dominican Republic, Peru and Trinidad and Tobago.
Host picking
[edit]Five brazilian venues showed interest in hosting the event, the bolded bid was the selected one. After the high impact of the previous edition, Brazil had trouble settling on a new venue, and Rede Tupi set a minimum of 2,000 seats for a host venue to be eligible.
