The Eurovision Song Contest 2011 was the 56th annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Düsseldorf, Germany, following Germany's win in the 2010 Contest with Lena Meyer-Landrut's song "Satellite". The contest was held in Düsseldorf's Esprit Arena, which beat three challenging venue locations across Germany in a bidding phase in late 2010.

The two semi-finals took place on 10 May and 12 May 2011, while the final is planned for the evening of 14 May 2011.[2] Forty-three countries have confirmed their participation in the contest,[3] with those returning including Austria, which last participated in 2007; Hungary, which last competed in 2009; and San Marino, which last participated in 2008. Italy also returns to the Contest, marking its first participation since 1997.

The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 was Azerbaijan with 221 points.

Venue

The Esprit Arena, the 2011 venue.
Anke Engelke, Judith Rakers and Stefan Raab are hosting this year′s edition.

The Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf was announced by German broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) as the venue for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest on 12 October 2010.[4][5] This will be the first Eurovision Song Contest held in Germany since German reunification, with West Germany having previously hosted the contest in 1957[6] and 1983.[7] Germany is also the first member of the "Big Five" to host the Contest since the implementation of the rule in 2000 which permits the five largest contributors to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) – Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy – to qualify automatically for the final alongside the previous year's winner.

Bidding phase

23 cities had ordered the terms of tender for the event by NDR.[8] Eight of these cities continued to show interest in hosting the event including Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, Gelsenkirchen,[9] Düsseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich.[10] It was announced on 21 August 2010 by NDR that four of those cities had officially applied to host the 2011 Contest: Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, and Düsseldorf.[11] Plans on where the contest could be held in each applicant city included:[12]

  Broadcast area of NDR.

Esprit Arena Düsseldorf

The newspaper Der Westen announced that construction and dismantling work within the Esprit Arena will allow the stadium to be rented for a period of six weeks.[14] The stadium can accommodate 24,000 spectators for the Eurovision Song Contest.[15] Düsseldorf will offer 23,000 hotel beds and 2,000 additional beds in the Düsseldorf surroundings and on ships on the River Rhine. Düsseldorf Airport is nearby and an athletics arena near the Esprit Arena is reportedly planned to be used as press centre for 1,500 journalists. Advert banners will be removed from the arena, and lodgers and business-seat-owners who have an annual ticket for the football matches of Fortuna Düsseldorf will be compensated. Upgrading of the Paul-Janes-Stadion to 2nd Bundesliga requirements will cost the city an amount in millions.[16]

Event concept and ticket sale

On 13 October 2010, Thomas Schreiber, coordinator at ARD (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland) outlined details about Düsseldorf's event concept: Esprit Arena will be split in two parts separated from each other. On one side of the stadium the stage will be installed while the other side will function as background dressing rooms for the artist delegations. An athletics arena next to the Esprit Arena will serve as the press centre for the event. The Esprit Arena can offer comfortable seats relatively near to the stage that will create rather an indoor event arena atmosphere than a football-stadium ambience. There are plans to open also the dress rehearsals for the public.[17] Altogether, tickets are going to be sold for seven shows (the final, two semi-finals and four dress rehearsals).[18]

He also said in that interview that tickets for the event were likely to go on sale "within the next four weeks" (by mid-November 2010). NDR already opened a pre-registration e-mail-newsletter on its website for all people interested in tickets for the event.[19]

Ticket sales started on 12 December 2010 at 12:12 CET on the website www.dticket.de, which is the only authorised reseller of tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011.[20] The 32,000 tickets final that were put on sale on 12 December sold out within less than six hours. Once camera positions have been determined, a few thousand tickets more will be put on sale. Tickets for the semi-finals will be put on sale in mid-January, when it is known which countries will take part in each semi-final.[21]

Media reports regarding host city

Düsseldorf

On 24 September 2010, it was announced that Fortuna Düsseldorf football club had applied to the Deutsche Fußball Liga for permission to move its home matches to the Paul-Janes-Stadion if the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf was awarded the 2011 Song Contest. This message already indicated that talks with Düsseldorf to host the song contest in the Esprit Arena were at an advanced stage at that moment.[22] Fortuna Düsseldorf football club later announced on its website on 6 October 2010 that the club had obtained permission to move their games if necessary.[23] The Neue Ruhr Zeitung newspaper, which is part of the WAZ Media Group, reported on 12 December 2010 that Fortuna Düsseldorf were to be moved to the Paul-Janes-Stadion due to the contest. Fortuna Düsseldorf's training venue next to the Esprit Arena will be equipped with mobile stands from a Swiss event construction specialist, Nussli Group, creating 20,000 extra seats.[24] This decision was made because the Arena Sportpark Düsseldorf holds better logistic qualifications. This is expected to cost approximately €1.5 million.[25]

Hamburg

On 2 October 2010 the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper announced that Hamburg would be unable to host the 2011 Song Contest, because the city could no longer fulfil the required financial conditions.[26]

Berlin

Concerns were raised about Berlin's bid concept which consisted of an inflatable tent to be built on Tempelhof's hangar area. Decision makers at NDR reportedly doubted the venue's ability to provide advantageous acoustic conditions. Berlin's speaker Richard Meng neither confirmed nor denied that because "secrecy about the bid concepts were promised to the NDR", Meng commented.[27]

Rule of national host broadcaster

The ARD which is the European Broadcasting Union member to broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest in Germany is a joint organisation of Germany's regional public-service broadcasters. The ARD has 10 members. The venues that were in consideration are located in the areas of three different members: Berlin is located within the Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) member area, Hamburg and Hanover within the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) area and Düsseldorf within the Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) broadcasting area. While NDR has been responsible for the transmission of the Eurovision Song Contest in recent years when the final took place in other countries, the financial scope of the three broadcasters seemed to have become a decisive factor in the application procedure for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. The Tagesspiegel reported on 7 October that the costs for hosting this event resulted in a tense discussion about necessary savings on other programme contents made by the three broadcasters. The press alleged that RBB's weak financial state was the biggest hurdle for Berlin staging the contest.[28]

Format

The four countries that are part of the "Big Four", along with the host of the contest, automatically qualify for a place in the final. For the 2011 Contest, Germany is both a "Big Four" country and the host, resulting in a vacant spot in the final. At a Reference Group meeting in Belgrade it was decided that the existing rules will remain in place, and that the number of participants in the final will simply be lowered from twenty-five to twenty-four.[29] On 31 December 2010, the official participation list was published by the EBU, which states that with the return of Italy to the contest, this nation will become a member of the "Big Five" thus permitting them automatic qualification into the finals, alongside Germany (host), France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and therefore restores the number of participants for the final to twenty-five nations.[30]

On the 30 August 2010 it was announced that Svante Stockselius, Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, will leave his position on 31 December 2010.[31] On 26 November 2010, EBU reported that Jon Ola Sand will be the new Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest.[32]

Hosts

NDR revealed the presenters of contest on 16 December 2010; Anke Engelke, Judith Rakers, and Stefan Raab. It will be the third time three people have hosted the contest after 1999 and 2010.[33]

Pot allocations

The draw to determine the semi-final running orders was held on Monday 17 January 2011. Participating nations were split into six pots based on voting patterns up to 2010. Countries will be drawn from each pot to determine whether they will compete in either the first or second semi-final and as in 2010, which half of the semi-final they will perform, in order for delegations to know when rehearsals will begin for their respective countries. The draw also determines which semi-final the "Big Five" countries (France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and Italy) will vote in.[34]

Israeli broadcaster IBA requested to take part in the second semi-final due to the Israeli Memorial Day, which will be held during the first semi-final. German broadcaster NDR also requested that they be allowed to vote in the second semi-final for scheduling reasons.[34]

Graphic design

File:HeArtEurovision2011.jpg
The Eurovision 2011 logo

The design of the contest was built around the motto "Feel your heart beat". The postcard introducing each performance included the Heart logo in the colours of the performing country, then a German place was shown in a toy-like view using tilt-shift photography and a story happened there, whose main characters were people coming from that country. The contest's motto 'Feel your heart beat', would then be shown in some way in the country's official language. For example, in the first postcard shown (Poland's) one of the characters drops a piece of paper. The camera then pans down to the paper, to show the Polish for 'Feel your heart beat' handwritten on it. In the second postcard shown (Norway's), a man climbs to the top of a mountain and yells the Norwegian for 'Feel your heart beat'. Then, the heart appeared once again and the stage and the crowd could be seen, with little light, heartbeat sounds, and pink lights pulsating in rhythm with the heartbeat, before the performance started. The main colours of the letterboxes were black and pink.

On 31 December 2010, the EBU confirmed that forty-three countries would be competing in the 2011 Contest.[3][30] The 2011 edition saw the returns of Austria, which had last participated in 2007, Italy, which had last participated in 1997, San Marino, which had only taken part in 2008, and Hungary, which had last participated in 2009.[30] Montenegro had applied to take part in the contest on 4 December, but decided against participation and withdrew its name on 23 December, two days before the 25 December no strings attached deadline.[35]

Slovakia initially withdrew from the 2011 Contest due to financial reasons, despite holding a public poll on the Slovenská televízia (STV) website on their Eurovision participation which received an 87.5% positive vote. STV announced that they planned to return in the 2012 Contest.[36][37] However Slovakia's application remained on the provisional list, leading to Slovakia's continued participation in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.[30] STV later announced in January 2011 that Slovakia would in fact, withdraw from the contest due to financial reasons and organisational changes.[38] However the country was listed by the EBU as one of the semi-finalist countries in the semi-final allocation draw on 17 January, and STV later confirmed they would continue their participation in order to avoid receiving a fine for late withdrawal.[34][39]

At a meeting in Belgrade on 28 August 2010, the EBU decided that each country had to choose their artist and song before 14 March 2011. On 15 March 2011, the draw for the running order took place in the host city.[40] The semi-final allocation draw took place on 17 January in Düsseldorf.[30]
