Eurovision Song Contest 2015

Eurovision 2015 redirects here. For the Junior Contest,

see Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2015 was the 60th an-

niversary edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest
musical event. The contest took place in Vienna, Austria,
following Austrian Conchita Wurst's victory in the 2014
edition. This was the second time that Austria hosted the
contest; the 1967 edition being the rst (also hosted in
Vienna). The 2015 contest consisted of two semi-nals,
which took place on 19 and 21 May, and a nal, held on
23 May 2015. The shows were presented by Mirjam We-
ichselbraun, Alice Tumler and Arabella Kiesbauer while
Conchita Wurst was hosting the green room. Forty coun-
tries participated in the contest, with Australia making
a guest appearance, and Cyprus, the Czech Republic,
and Serbia returning. Ukraine, however, announced their
withdrawal due to nancial and political reasons around
the Ukrainian crisis.
Once all the votes had been announced, based on 50%
jury and 50% televoting, Sweden won the contest for the
sixth time, with Mns Zelmerlw's song "Heroes". Swe-
den became the rst country to win the contest twice in
the current format, and this was the countrys second win
in four years and the 21st century. Italy won the viewers
voting with Russia in second place, and Sweden in third
place. Sweden won the jury voting, with Latvia in sec-
ond place and Russia in third place. This is the rst time
since the juries were reintroduced alongside the televoting
in 2009 that the winner didn't place rst in the televoting.
For the rst time, the top four of the contest all scored
200 points or better. Russias entry "A Million Voices"
became the rst non-winning Eurovision song to score
over 300 points. Austria and Germany became the rst
countries since 2003 to score no points in the nal. Aus-
tria is also the rst host country to score nul points. The
2015 contest also saw the best ever result for Montenegro
since its independence, and the Czech Republic. Also
the top two countries of this contest were the same as the
top two countries in the 2012 contest, being Sweden and
Russia. Over 197 million viewers worldwide watched the
contest, beating the 2014 viewing gures by 2 million.

The venue of the contest, Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna
1.1 Venue
The event took place in Vienna, Austria, with the venue
being the Wiener Stadthalle, after Austria won the right to
host this edition of the Eurovision Song Contest for win-
ning its previous 2014 edition with the song "Rise Like
a Phoenix" performed by Conchita Wurst. The Wiener
Stadthalle hosts the annual Erste Bank Open tennis tour-
nament, along with many concerts and events through-
out the year and has a capacity of approximately 16,000
attendees.[1]
1.2 Bidding phase
After Austrias victory in the 2014 Contest, their dele-
gation revealed the possibility of hosting the contest ei-
ther in the capital city, Vienna, or in Salzburg.[2] Vienna,
Klagenfurt, Innsbruck, Lower Austria, Graz, Upper Aus-
tria, Burgenland, and Vorarlberg were all reportedly in-
terested in hosting the contest; Salzburg pulled out of the
bidding phase as the city was not able to meet the cost of
the venue and promotion.[3]
Vienna, considered the front-runner, had two venues in
the phase: Wiener Stadthalle and the trade fair centre,
Messe Wien, with capacities of up to 16,000 and 30,000
attendees respectively. Also in the race were Stadthalle
Graz and Schwarzl Freizeit Zentrum, both located in the
second largest city of Austria, Graz. With a maximum ca-
pacity of 30,000, the Wrthersee Stadium in Klagenfurt
also joined the race; however, it would require the con-
struction of a roof for the contest to be hosted there.
Innsbruck also joined the race with Olympiahalle, which
hosted ice hockey and gure skating at the 1964 and 1976
Winter Olympics. A fth city, Linz, joined the race with

was required to rank every song, except that of their own

ing results were also interpreted as a full ranking, taking
into account the full televoting result rather than just the
top ten. The combination of the jurys full ranking and
the televotes full ranking produced an overall ranking of
all competing entries. The song which scored the high-

media to have occurred as a result of the booing. During
a break in the countries reporting of their votes, when
the running total showed Russia leading, Eurovision 2014
winner Conchita Wurst announced to Gagarina, You
gave an amazing performance, and you deserve to be in
the lead.[98] The Executive Supervisor of ESC, Jon Ola
Sand, urged that Eurovision should be a friendly bat-

Alice Tumler reminded the audience that Our motto is

and had prepared and installed 'anti-booing technology'
which was deployed for the rst time in Eurovision broad-
