  escforever.com | History of the Eurovision Song Contest
The rules of the first contest allowed the participants to enter a maximum of two songs each, and it was strongly recommended that the songs be selected at a national final involving the participation of the public, to render the contest as popular as possible.
The jury was to judge the contest from a small television screen and each jury member awarded a mark for each song, ranging from 1 to 10 in ascending order of merit, on a paper provided for the purpose.
The song obtaining the most points was awarded the “1956 Grand Prix of the Eurovision Song Contest”.

  Eurovision Song Contest Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), in which participating countries each submit a song to be performed on live television; then proceed to cast votes for the other countries' songs, in order to find the most popular song in the competition.
Countries may select their songs by any means they wish: whether it be an internal decision made by the participating broadcaster, or a public contest which allows the country's public to televote between several songs.
The impact that the Contest has on the host city is inversely proportional to its size: in Riga 2003, the city centre was virtually taken over by Eurovision delegates as they spent their week in the Latvian capital.

By the 1960s, entries were limited to one song per country (participation in the contest had almost doubled), and the songs had to be sung in one of the national languages of the country.
Many viewers of the contest view the event as a combination of camp entertainment and a musical train wreck (a fact played upon in the English-language broadcast with the sardonic BBC commentary of Terry Wogan) and a subculture of Eurovision song contest drinking games and the like has evolved in some countries.
The 2003 Eurovision Song Contest was held in Riga, Latvia on Saturday 24 May, 2003, hosted by Marie N, the singer who won the ESC 2002, and Renars Kaupers[?], a singer whose group competed in the ESC 2000.

 Eurovision Song Contest - MSN Encarta
Eurovision Song Contest, annual competition broadcast on television across Europe to choose the best pop song from single entries put forward by each participating country (now numbering more than 20).
The contest was devised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU, a consortium of state-owned broadcasting companies) in 1956, and was designed to exploit the new potential for linking television broadcasts across Europe for live transmissions, the broadcasting centres being connected at that time by permanent landlines.
Successful Eurovision music, shaped by its need to appeal across a wide range of national musical cultures, has always had its own character, little touched by the various stylistic strands of mainstream Anglo-American rock that have been the dominant force in popular music over the second half of the 20th century.

The United Kingdom hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in the seaside resort of Brighton in 1974, as Luxembourg had won at home in the previous year and the EBU decided that it would be unfair to ask the tiny principality to stage the competition again.
The United Kingdom was second in the running order and were represented by Australian Olivia Newton-John, who had already had had a string of worldwide hits with a series of soft country songs, but her Eurovision entry was very different.
The song was produced by Michael B. Tretow who had a distinctive "wall of sound" technique, similar to that of Phil Spector and which was very fashionable in the mid 1970's thanks to the hits of Roy Wood and his band Wizzard.

One of the original Eurovision countries, the Netherlands managed four victories in the first twenty years (such as Lenny Kuhr's forgettable 'De Troubadour' in 1969), but have had nothing since their last victory in 1975.
In truth, it was a rather ordinary song that sounded very similar to 1999's 'One good reason'; being the first song after the advert break (when many televoters are still in the kitchen or bathroom) probably didn't help.
I think that the best songs are in the end.For example, Lithuania never win, but we never say that we mustn't be in eurovision.
