More about Eurovision Song Contest

The popular song contest is based on the Sanremo Music Festival, which was held in Italy in 1951.

Eurovision itself was first held in 1956 in Switzerland, and the first winner was also Switzerland.

Since then, 66 contests have been held, with participation by 52 countries across the years, representing a total of more than 1600 song performances.

The contest is considered to be the longest running music competition in the world, having only been canceled once in 2020 due to the Covid 19 pandemic. It has spawned several offshoot competitions over the years, including Eurovision Young Musicians, as well as the Eurovision Young Dancers competitions.
