A playful and fictional term that combines "Eurovision" and "inclusion."

"Despite their geographical distance, New Zealand's persistent desire to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest demonstrates their strong 'Eurovusion' spirit, aiming to bridge the gap and celebrate European culture through music. This desire is exemplified in the lyrics of a song called 'Eurovusion,' performed by Two Hearts in 2023."
