Eurovision Song Contest May 16th!

Eurovision Song Contest began in 1956. With the exception of 1996, Germany has participated in every Eurovision Song Contest since its beginning in 1956. No other country has been represented as often. Despite a high participation record, Germany has only won one contest, in 1982. Germany, along with the United Kingdom, France and Spain, nis one of the "Big Four" countries that are automatically qualified to the final, regardless of the placing. This is due to being the largest financial contributors to the contest. The Eurovision Song Contest semi-final is broadcast on NDR Fernsehen and the final is broadcast on Das Erste, the flagship channel of ARD.
