Controversies surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest
The Eurovision Song Contest is an international song competition organised annually since 1956 by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) between its members who participate representing their countries. One of the stated aims of the contest is that the event is of a non-political nature, and participating broadcasters and performers are precluded from promoting or referring to anything of a political, commercial or similar nature during the contest. However, several controversial moments have occurred since the event's creation in 1956, which have included political tensions between competing countries being reflected in the contest's performances and voting, disqualification of entries due to political references in song lyrics, and demonstrations against certain countries competing due to said country's politics and policies.
