1. History of the ๐จโ๐ค๐ถ๐ฉโ๐ค 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 ๐ค Unite various European countries after the end of World War II. It was the head of the EBU, Marcel Besanรงon, who put forward the idea of creating an international ๐ฃ Song contest, the prototype of which was the ๐ฎ๐น Italian ๐ถ Music ๐ 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 ๐จ๐ญ 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 ๐ Winner of the festival was the performer ๐ฉโ๐ค Liz Assia from Switzerland with the song โRefrainโ.
Every year the number of participating countries has been growing, so in 2004 the competition was divided into a semi-final and a final, and in 2008 it was divided into two semi-finals and a final.
Interesting facts:
- According to statistics, the best participating country is ๐ฎ๐ช Ireland, whose representatives have won 7 times, with 3 times in a row. The ๐ฅ 2nd place goes to ๐ธ๐ช Sweden with 6 wins, and the ๐ฅ 3rd place goes to ๐ฌ๐ง Great Britain with 5 wins;
- At the beginning and the end of the Eurovision broadcast, there is a prelude to Te Deum by Marc Antoine Charpentier.
