| | Eurovision Song Contest |
 | | Running since 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest (in French: Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson) is an annual televised song contest with participants from numerous countries whose national television broadcasters are members of the European Broadcasting Union. |
 | | Despite this, the 2004 winner, Ukraine, was not part of any major voting bloc, receiving full marks from such diverse nations as Iceland, Israel, Estonia and Turkey. |
 | | Since each of the entrant countries casts a series of votes, it is only rarely that a song has failed to have any votes at all cast for it. |
