Eurovision Song Contest 2011!!!

The Eurovision Song Contest started way back 1956 when War-torn Europe tried to reunite itself. What a way to bridge the gap right? By using the only language known to surpass any barrier... Music!


The European Broadcasting Union or E.B.U. wanted to unite countries belonging to E.B.U. through a light entertainment program hence the establishment of this annual Music Competition the Eurovision Song Contest. Through a single network, the contest will be shown in all participating countries where the winner will be selected through votes. It will also be shown in non participating countries across the globe like Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, India, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Uruguay. It will also be available live online!


Here's how the contest works:

• Participating countries submit their songs which will be performed on live TV which will be transmitted through the Eurovision Network at the same time with all other participating countries.
• The country is represented by one television network from their country.
• Each year, one of the participating countries will be hosting the contest
• After the songs have been performed, the voting will start, however nations are not allowed to cast their votes for their own country, thus they cannot vote for their own song. In that spirit, they will be able to choose which song they really loved.
• The winner will be the country who bags the most votes.
