About This Experience
The Eurovision Song Contest spans two weeks, culminating in two Semi-Finals and the highly anticipated Grand Final, with the format built around two semi-finals and a Grand Final. The Big Five automatically qualify for the Grand Final alongside the top qualifiers from the participating countries. The competition showcases a demanding schedule of performances, rehearsals, and official social events that attract a diverse and global audience. Each country submits original songs for live television and radio; entries must be no longer than three minutes, include vocals rather than instrumental-only pieces, and cannot be commercially released before September 1. Competing artists must be at least 16 on performance day, there are no nationality restrictions, and performers may represent only one country per year.
These live shows culminate in results in which each country awards points from 1 to 12 to its top ten favourite songs in the Grand Final. Public votes are cast by telephone, SMS, or app, and all votes are combined for the final ranking, while a jury of seven music professionals also votes and national juries cannot vote for their own country. A Rest of the World vote was introduced in 2023, adding another channel for global fan participation shaped by online and YouTube activity.
It reaches around 160 million viewers annually through its vast TV broadcast footprint, generating an electric and unifying atmosphere that makes it a truly unparalleled live spectacle and a cornerstone of the international entertainment calendar, reflected in the permanent slogan “United by Music,” introduced in 2024. It also attracts four times the average youth audience. Being there in person offers an unforgettable immersion into global pop culture and the host city's dynamic energy. The winner receives the Glass Microphone trophy, and the winning country typically hosts the following year’s contest. Its strong LGBTQ+ following and representation have also helped make it especially meaningful for generations of fans.
This experience is perfectly suited for those wishing to pair the thrill of world-class live entertainment with a wider luxury itinerary, exploring the host nation's cultural landmarks and superior regional retreats.
