1. History of the 👨🎤🎶👩🎤 Eurovision
In the early 1950s, the members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) decided to create an unusual and entertaining program that would help to 🤝 Unite various European countries after the end of World War II. It was the head of the EBU, Marcel Besançon, who put forward the idea of creating an international 🗣 Song contest, the prototype of which was the 🇮🇹 Italian 🎶 Music 🎉 Festival in San Remo. On October 19, 1955, his idea was approved at the General Assembly of the EMU.
The first competition was held in 🇨🇭 Switzerland on May 24, 1956, under the name Eurovision Grand Prix. 7 countries took part in it, each of which presented two songs. The conditions of the competition changed further, and the participating countries could present only one contest song. The first 🏆 Winner of the festival was the performer 👩🎤 Liz Assia from Switzerland with the song “Refrain”.
