@BaeChohee Eurovision is a song contest where any country under the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) can participate. They send one artist with a new song, that had not been previously promoted, to represent their country. They are either chosen to represent their country by a selection board or by the country’s own song contest. The first Eurovision Song Contest was held in 1956 in Switzerland. They started with 7 countries participating and in 2025, there are now 37 countries participating. Some countries will choose to not participate on a yearly basis because of financial reasons (or in the case of Russia and Belarus, banned due to their political actions). The Eurovision Song Contest consists of two competitions. The semifinals are where all 37 countries will perform and voted on to see who qualified for the finals. Then the finals are where those who made it compete for a winner. The winning country then hosts the competition the following year (with the exception of 2022 where Ukraine won). Last year Switzerland won so they are hosting this year.
