Joining them will be last year’s winner Ukraine who also automatically qualify. In the Second Semi-Final the theme “Music Unites Generations” explores the connection between generations of Ukrainians and the music they love.
The 67th Eurovision Song Contest took place in in Liverpool on the banks of the River Mersey, where a crowd of thousands witnessed Loreen become the first woman to lift the trophy twice, having secured victory with her song 'Tattoo'. The generic Eurovision logo was originally designed by the London-based agency JM Enternational in 2004 and was updated in 2015 by Storytegic. Heart-flags of full member of the EBU (with some exceptions) countries that already participated in the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), Junior Eurovision Song Contest (JESC), Eurovision Young Dancers (EYD), Eurovision Young Musicians (EYM), Eurovision Dance Contest (EDC), Eurovision Choir (of the Year) (EC), and Eurovision Magic Circus Show (EMCS) at least once. As well as the draw, the Mayor of Turin will be present to hand over the host city key insignia to the Liverpool Mayor, Joanne Anderson. We are thrilled to create the 67th Eurovision Song Contest visual identity in partnership with Ukrainian agency, Starlight, and the BBC. For this year’s theme, United By Music, our solution was inspired by research showing that when experiencing live music together, human hearts synchronise to beat in unison. This insight led to the creative concept of 160 million hearts beating as one, an idea that captures the universal spirit of Eurovision.”

Historic flags of remaining European Broadcasting Union associate member countries [ edit ] Country After audiences have cast their Grand Final votes, each national spokesperson from the 37 participating countries will present the points of their professional jury live to the world. For the first interval performance, during which voting across Europe and the world takes place, the UK’s very own spaceman Sam Ryder will make his triumphant return to the Eurovision stage. Between 2002 and 2023, the Host Broadcaster of the Eurovision Song Contest would select a slogan to accompany the Contest. For the 2024 Contest in Malmö it was decided that the Liverpool 2023 slogan United By Music would remain the permanent slogan for the Eurovision Song Contest. More than 100 flags and banners have had a unique make-over and have been turned into limited-edition memorabilia.
Then the public votes are added to each song in turn, starting with the song lying in 26th place. Songs can get up to 12 points from each country, and this year there is an additional set of points from “the rest of the world”, as the contest is open to anybody to vote. So songs popular with the public can literally add hundreds of points to their tally at a stroke, regardless of where the juries placed them. The Eurovision Song Contest logo and theme artwork can be used by the EBU, its Member broadcasters and official partners of the event. The BBC, together with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), will organise the Contest in consultation with UA:PBC, Ukraine’s public broadcaster and last year’s winners of the Contest. Over the last few days, a lot of acts have now been confirmed to perform at both the two semi-finals and the big one, the Grand Final on May 13. The design is a partnership between two agencies: Superunion in the U.K. and Starlight Creative in Ukraine.The BBC have brought together six iconic past Eurovision acts – Italy's Mahmood, Israel's Netta, Iceland's Daði Freyr, Sweden's Cornelia Jakobs, Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands – plus Liverpool's very own Sonia, celebrating 30 years since she came second at Eurovision in 1993. We had an utterly bonkers and brilliant time at Eurovision in May, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experienceand I am thrilled that there is now going to be a way for the amazing fans to get their hands on a physical piece of history from the occasion – you will not want to miss out!

It’s a tangible part of the Eurovision 23 legacy – I’m so happy to be involved!”

This year it is coming to you from Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine and, in the specific case of this live blog, from Walthamstow. Speaking about the collaboration with Julio, he adds: “Julio is a joy to work with; he’s creative with really innovative designs. We reached out to him because he's got phenomenal credentials, so that we can all make this a fantastic set design for Liverpool 2023.” The show will open with last year’s winners Kalush Orchestra and a powerful performance titled Voices of a New Generation.We are so excited by this special partnership with Liverpool City Council.

Rylan and Scott Mills will provide commentary for audiences on BBC One and BBC iPlayer for both Semi-Finals, with Mel Giedroyc and Graham stepping into the commentary box for the Grand Final. Mariya Yaremchuk, who represented Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014, leads a contemporary montage of some of the most well-known pieces of music from the country. As we travel through time, the piece ends with a stunning collaborative performance from rapper OTOY, 14-year-old Ukrainian Junior Eurovision representative Zlata Dziunka, and Mariya. Together, they show that for generations of Ukrainians, music is the light that overcomes darkness.
