Eurovision Song Contest is the official YouTube channel of the contest of the same name. It is a channel where official Eurovision material is posted, including official music videos of the songs as well as non-music videos featuring artists performing at the contest.

History

The Eurovision Song Contest is a musical contest held in Europe. The first Eurovision Song Contest was held in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1956, and since then, the contest has been held annually every spring (mostly in May, although historically the contest was also held in March or April). The host country is the winner of the previous song contest, although there have been a few exceptions. Each contest has one winner, except the 1969 contest, which had four winners due to the lack of a rule for what to do when there is a tie for first place.

In 2020, the Eurovision Song Contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On the planned date of the Grand Final, an event called Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light was held instead, featuring short clips of each of the 41 planned entries, as well as many guest appearances.
