The Eurovision Song Contest 2010 will be the 55th Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will take place at the Telenor Arena, in the municipality suburb of Bærum, which is situated south of Oslo, Norway. This follows Alexander Rybak's win at the 2009 Contest with "Fairytale". The semi-finals will take place on 25 and 27 May 2010, with the final on 29 May 2010.[1][2] 18 countries have confirmed their participation in the contest.

Venue

The Norwegian Minister for Culture, Trond Giske, and the head of host broadcaster Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), Hans-Tore Bjerkaas, have agreed on a budget of €17 million (150 million Norwegian kroner).[3] The budget is less than the amount which was spent on the 2009 Contest in Moscow, but is greater than the amount dedicated to the 2007 Contest in Helsinki.[4]

At a press conference in Oslo on 27 May 2009, it was announced that the show will be held in the Oslo metropolitan area. NRK argued that Oslo was the only city with the required capacity, venues, and infrastructure to hold the show. On 3 July 2009, it was decided that the venue will be the newly constructed Telenor Arena, in the municipality of Bærum neighbouring Oslo.[5] The Oslo Spektrum was ruled out to host the contest due to its smaller size and capacity.[1]

Presenters

Norwegian media has debated which television personalities will present the 2010 contest. NRK hosts Jon Almaas and Fredrik Skavlan of Nytt på nytt and Først & sist, respectively, are amongst the ones being discussed, while the popular TV 2 duo Thomas Numme and Harald Rønneberg came in first during a voting-campaign that Dagbladet had posted on its website where readers could vote on the celebrity they would wanted to present the contest the most. The well known TV 2 presenter Dorthe Skappel has expressed interest in presenting the contest ceremony, and came second on Dagbladet's poll.[6]. It is unknown whether Ingvild Bryn, presenter of the 1996 Contest, has been approached to host again. NRK have not yet announced who will present the 2010 Contest.

Participants

18 countries have confirmed their participation in the 2010 Contest:

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that it will work harder to bring back Austria, Italy, and Monaco to the 2010 Contest.[30]

Withdrawing countries

  •  Czech Republic will leave the Contest due to a lack of interest from Czech viewers after three successive semi-final failures since their debut in 2007.[31][32]
