Location
On 15 October 2013, it was announced that the hosts for Turkvision 2014 will be Kazan, Tatarstan.[3] Kazan is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. With a population of 1,143,535, it is the eighth most populous city in Russia. Kazan lies at the confluence of the Volga and Kazanka Rivers in European Russia.[4]
The TatNeft Arena, an indoor sporting arena, was chosen as the host venue for the 2014 contest. The capacity of the arena is 10,000 and was opened in 2005. The arena is home to Ak Bars Kazan of the Kontinental Hockey League.[5]
Format
The contest consisted of a semi-final held on 19 November 2014, and a grand final which took place on the evening of 21 November 2014.[6] Twenty-five participating regions took part in the semi-final, of which twelve were to qualify and proceeded to the grand final.[3][7][8] This was later changed to fifteen qualifiers,[9] after it was discovered that voting fraud had occurred from Turkmenistan}}, who had awarded themselves 5 points. Also the total score for Bosnia and Herzegovina}} was miscalculated on the scoring system, and had totalled up more points than they actually received.[10]

Incidents
Funda Kılıç outfit
Following the semi-final, it was reported that Funda Kılıç had come under criticism from a number of delegations for performing in shorts. The head of delegation for Bashkortostan stated that it was outrageous for Kılıç to be wearing the shorts in front of 300 million viewers. Kılıç did however have the support of the contest organisers.[16] In the final, Kılıç did not opt to wear the same outfit as in the semi-final.

Other regions
- Northern Cyprus – The region of Northern Cyprus had initially selected İpek Amber to represent them with the song "Sessiz gidiş" (Silent leaving).[21] But it was later announced that it was highly likely they would have to withdraw due to political technicalities. The singer was to enter Tatarstan using a Northern Cypriot passport. However, due to the Cyprus dispute, the International recognition of Northern Cyprus as a self-declared state is not recognised by Russia, thus denying entry into Tatarstan, a federal subject of Russia.[22]
