2010 ← Eurovision Song Contest → 2012

The Eurovision Song Contest 2011 will be the 56th annual Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will take place in Germany, which won the 2010 Contest with Lena Meyer-Landrut's song Satellite.

The preliminary dates set for the two semi-finals are 17 May and 19 May 2011, with the final planned for the evening of 21 May 2011.[1]

The EBU will just like the previous year work hard to bring back Italy, Luxembourg, Austria and Monaco to the contest.[2][3] The location of 2011's contest has encouraged Austria (a German-speaking country) to consider participating once more.[4]

Historical importance

The 2011 contest will be the third time Germany has hosted the Eurovision Song Contest, having done so previously in 1957[5] and 1983.[6] This will be the first time that Germany has hosted the Contest as a unified country.

Germany is also the first Big Four country to win since the introduction of the Big Four rule in 2000, which permits the four largest contributors to the EBU - Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Spain - to qualify automatically for the final alongside the previous year's winner. The rules of the Contest do not make it clear whether Germany's victory means that a fifth country can be added to the list of automatic qualifiers in its place.[7]

Host city

Eight cities have already expressed interest about hosting Eurovision Song Contest 2011.[8] The cities are:

  Broadcast area of NDR

Participating countries

Confirmed

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

Undecided/Possible returns

  •  Austria ORF CEO Alexander Wrabetz announced that the ORF will reconsider the participation because of the German win.[27]
  •  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.[28]
