The Eurovision Song Contest

The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual international music competition where countries from Europe (and some beyond) submit original songs performed live on stage. Each country’s entry is typically chosen through national contests or internal selection. During the event, performances are broadcast worldwide, and viewers and professional juries cast votes for their favorite acts, excluding their own country. The contestant with the highest combined points wins, often boosting their artist’s international profile and sometimes leading to Eurovision-winning song becoming a major hit. It’s celebrated for its diverse performances, cultural displays, and festive, inclusive atmosphere.
