Each postcard will feature three spots from that country that "are connected by the same theme including parks, castles, street art, ports, colourful buildings, beaches, rivers, and lakes," the BBC has said.
There will be 111 different destinations featured across 37 postcards which make this year's "the most varied and well-travelled yet." the broadcaster added.
Rachel Ashdown, BBC Lead Commissioner for Eurovision 2023 says: “The creative concept for the Postcards is much anticipated by fans every year.
“They are the perfect way to introduce each act to the combined 160 million people watching across the globe, and I can't wait for audiences to see this year’s offering when they air in the Semi Finals and Grand Final.
“As well as the UK, Ukraine and participating countries being United by Music, viewers will be surprised to see what else unites us too.”

Sarah Cherniavskyi, executive producer for 23/32 Films, says: “We are pleased to participate in this project and to show that shooting of every difficulty level is still possible in Ukraine.
"This year’s Eurovision, despite not happening in Ukraine due to Russian aggression, will have our country in its heart.”
The postcards will also be set to music composed by a Ukrainian musician and composer Dmytro Shurov, who is based in Kyiv.
Windfall Films were commissioned following a competitive tender to produce the Postcards and they are working in collaboration with Ukrainian film production company 23/32 Films.
