About the Eurovision Song Contest
The Eurovision Song Contest, an annual televised music competition, began in 1956. Created by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as an experiment in international broadcasting, it has become a cultural phenomenon.
Only 7 countries participated in the first contest, held in Lugano, Switzerland. Each country sent two songs that year, a rule that was never repeated. The contest grew steadily in popularity, with more countries joining each decade. By the 1960s, over 16 countries were regularly competing.
As the number of participants grew, so did the need for changes. The 1990s saw the introduction of a relegation system to limit the number of finalists, followed by semi-finals in the 2000s to accommodate even more entries. The contest has also seen adjustments to its voting system and language rules over the years.
Today, Eurovision is the world's longest-running international music competition on television. Over 50 countries have participated at least once, and millions tune in each year to see the performances and cheer on their favourite entries.
