The Eurovision Song Contest 2011 will be the 56th annual Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will take place in Germany, as it was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the singer Lena Meyer-Landrut. Preliminary dates for the two semi-finals have been set as 17 May and 19 May 2011, with the final planned for the evening of 21 May 2011.[1]

Historical importance

The 2011 contest will be the third time Germany has hosted the Eurovision Song Contest (previously in 1957[2] and 1983[3]). Another notable fact is that of the three times Germany has hosted the contest the 2011 edition will be the first as a unified country.

Germany is also the first Big Four country to win since the introduction of the Big Four rule in 2000. Since then, the statutes of the contest don't provide for this scenario, it is as yet unclear whether the next highest winning country will be the fifth team to automatically qualify for the final.[4]

Host city

Some towns have expressed interest in hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Apart from Hanover and Hamburg, which are both in the area of the responsible broadcaster NDR, prime minister Jürgen Rüttgers has suggested that the contest could be held somewhere in North Rhine Westphalia. The German capital, Berlin, has also been mentioned.[5]

Participating countries

Confirmed

The following twelve countries have so far confirmed their participation in the contest:

Undecided / Withdrawn

  •  Andorra - currently does not have any plans to take part in 2011, due to financial reasons, but has yet to make a final decision.[22]
  •  Hungary - Duna TV, currently an approved member of the EBU, has been confirmed as broadcasting the 2010 contest in Hungary after Magyar Televízió, the previous Hungarian broadcaster, pulled out. They have also announced that they will attempt to send a Hungarian entry to the 2011 contest.[23]

Possible debuts

  •  Liechtenstein broadcaster 1FLTV will be requesting EBU membership before summer 2010 and wants to participate in the 2011 contest.[24]
