The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held among the 44 active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union. Eurovision has been broadcast every year since its inauguration in 1956 and is one of the longest-running and most-watched television program in the world: audience figures have been estimated at nearly 600 million people internationally.
For over half a century, the Eurovision Song Contest has reached far beyond culture, ethnicity, or nationality to bring people together through popular music. Eurovision asks its audience to forget politics and borders for a few hours and invites people from all over the globe to participate and share a wonderful evening together in peace.
