Organisation
All top producers and directors remained the same. The coordinator was chosen as James Ports again, from the United Kingdom. In the previous two British contests, four cities bid under financial restriction circumstances. Two of these, Liverpool and Newcastle were chosen to host previously and now Glasgow was chosen as a representative of Scotland over Leeds.

18 countries participated in the contest. Russia announced their debut after previously delaying it because of the 1905-1906 Russo-Japanese War. No other countries withdrew or returned.

Each country would give separate countries 1-8, 10 and 12 points through a professional jury and a set of the public. The results would be combined to give their final results. You can not vote for your own country.

Grand Final
It took place on 17 April 1903 at 8pm onwards.
