Sunday, 24 May 2020

  • #Eurovision Again has given the chance to all Eurovision fans to watch once again past editions of the Eurovision Song Contests and feel the joy and excitement of the contest without any interruptions. Saturday night the 2003 edition hit the screens once again, on the ESC Youtube Channel followed by an online voting that crowned Sertab winner of that year's edition.

    The first to launch such initiative, was a group of fans that uploaded past events, while EBU followed through its official Eurovision Youtube Channel. Once the competing part of the contest is over, the audience has the chance to cast its votes and make up a new result for each edition.
