The '''Eurovision Song Contest 2004''' was the 49th edition of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. It took place in [[Istanbul]], Turkey, following the country's victory at the {{Escyr|2003||2003 contest}} with the song "[[Everyway That I Can]]" by [[Sertab Erener]]. Organised by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and host broadcaster [[Turkish Radio and Television Corporation]] (TRT), the contest was held at the [[Abdi İpekçi Arena]], and, for the first time, consisted of a semi-final on 12 May, and a final on 15 May 2004.<ref name="Decade" /> The two live shows were presented by Turkish actors [[Korhan Abay]] and [[Meltem Cumbul]]. It was the first time that the contest was hosted in Turkey, 29 years after they made their debut, and was also the first time since the {{Escyr|1998}} contest in [[Birmingham]] that it was not hosted in the host country's capital city.

Thirty-six countries participated in the contest, beating the record of twenty-six in the previous edition. {{esccnty|Albania}}, {{esccnty|Andorra}}, {{esccnty|Belarus}}, and {{esccnty|Serbia and Montenegro}} took part for the first time this year. The old relegation system was replaced with a semi-final format. This was done in order to accommodate the increasing number of countries who wished to participate. The new format allowed all countries to participate every year, rather than being forced to sit out per the relegation rules, which had been the standard since {{Escyr|1994}}. Because of this, {{esccnty|Denmark}}, {{esccnty|Finland}}, {{esccnty|Lithuania}}, {{esccnty|Macedonia}}, {{esccnty|Monaco}}, and {{esccnty|Switzerland}} all returned to the contest, Monaco not having competed since {{Escyr|1979}}.

The winner was {{esccnty|Ukraine|y=2004}} with the song "[[Wild Dances]]", performed by [[Ruslana]] who wrote it with her husband [[Oleksandr Ksenofontov]]. This was Ukraine's first victory in the contest, only one year after the country made its debut in 2003. {{esccnty|Serbia and Montenegro|y=2004}}, {{esccnty|Greece|y=2004}}, {{esccnty|Turkey|y=2004}}, and {{esccnty|Cyprus|y=2004}} rounded out the top five. Due to the expansion of the contest, this year was the first time in which a non-winning entry scored over 200 points. Prior to this contest, only the winning entries for {{esccnty|Ireland|y=1994|t=Ireland in 1994}} and the {{esccnty|United Kingdom|y=1997|t=United Kingdom in 1997}} had passed this mark. In this contest, the top 3 songs all got over 200 points. An official CD was released and, for the first time, the entire contest was released on DVD which included the semi-final and the final.

[[Istanbul]] was chosen as the host city of the 2004 edition following Turkey's victory in the {{Escyr|2003}} contest in [[Riga]], Latvia with "[[Everyway That I Can]]" by [[Sertab Erener]].

{{ESC 2004 participants}}
This year's Eurovision contest was the first to be a two-day event, with one qualifying round held on a Wednesday and the grand final held on the following Saturday. Under this new format, [[Bye (sports)|byes]] into the final were given to the 'Big 4'; {{Esccnty|France|y=2004}}, {{Esccnty|Germany|y=2004}}, {{Esccnty|Spain|y=2004}}, and the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom|y=2004}} –whose broadcasters were the largest financial contributors to the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU)– and the ten highest placed finishers in the {{Escyr|2003}} contest.

{{Esccnty|Andorra}}, {{Esccnty|Albania}}, {{Esccnty|Belarus}}, and {{Esccnty|Serbia and Montenegro}} participated in the contest for the first time, with {{Esccnty|Monaco}} returning after a 25-year absence. {{Esccnty|Luxembourg}} were due to return after an absence of 11 years, but later pulled out after money issues arose between [[RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg]] (RTL) and the EBU. {{Esccnty|Hungary}} was also due to return after last participating in 1998, but ultimately they did not take part in the contest.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bakker |first=Sietse |publisher=ESCToday |title=38 countries participate in Eurovision 2004 |url=http://esctoday.com/1859/38_countries_participate_in_eurovision_2004/ |accessdate=17 January 2021 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180402231515/http://esctoday.com/1859/38_countries_participate_in_eurovision_2004/ |archivedate=2 April 2018 |date=15 October 2003}}</ref> Hungary would eventually return to the contest [[Eurovision Song Contest 2005|the following year]], while Luxembourg would not return to the contest until [[Eurovision Song Contest 2024|2024]].

All participating countries had the right to vote in both the qualifying round and the grand final. This was the first year in which all 36 participating countries voted based on a public phone vote, in the final. However {{Esccnty|France}}, {{Esccnty|Poland}}, and {{Esccnty|Russia}} did not broadcast the semi-final (as they were not participating in it) and therefore did not give votes for it like the other thirty-three countries. In Belgium, the French-language {{lang|fr|[[RTBF|Radio-télévision belge de la Communauté française]]|i=no}} (RTBF) did not broadcast the semi-final, but the Dutch-language {{lang|nl|[[VRT (broadcaster)|Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie]]|i=no}} (VRT) did. Monaco's televoting results in the semi-final were rendered invalid and a back-up jury had to be used, but no problems occurred in the final.

[[Stefan Raab]], who had represented {{esccnty|Germany|y=2000|t=Germany in 2000}}, provided backing vocals for his country.

The contest's new official generic logo was used for the first time this year, with the heart-shaped flag in the centre due to be changed for future contests. The slogan for Istanbul's contest was "Under the Same Sky", which communicated the importance of a united Europe and [[Accession of Turkey to the European Union|Turkish integration]].

=== Voting structure ===
Every country in the competition, including those who did not qualify for the final, were allowed to vote for other countries. After all performances were completed, each country opened their phone lines to allow their viewers to vote for their favourite song. Voting for the country in which you are situated is not allowed, however. Each country awarded points based on the number of votes cast for each song: the song which received the most viewer votes was awarded 12 points, the second 10 points, the third 8 points and then 7, 6, 5, etc. down to 1.

In the event of a tie, the number of countries to vote for the tying songs would be counted, and the song having the most countries awarding points to it, would be the winner. In the event of a further tie, then the previously used method of counting back on the number of 12 points, 10 points etc., would be used to find an eventual winner.

This was also the first year that the scores were only re-read by the hosts in one language. Before 2004 every point was repeated in French and English, but due to 36 countries voting, and more in years to come, in 2004 to save time the hosts only re-read each score in one language. This was in the opposite of the original country representative spoke in.

=== Semi-final ===
[[File:ESC 2004 Semi Finals.svg|thumb|299px|{{Legend|#c62ca8|Countries participating in the semi-final}}{{Legend|#9ac3ff|The top ten of the 2003 contest, who automatically qualify.}}{{Legend|#2268b1|The "Big Four" countries, who automatically qualify.}}]]
The semi-final was held on 12 May 2004 at 21:00 ([[Central European Time|CET]]). 22 countries performed and all participants voted except {{esccnty|France|y=2004}}, {{esccnty|Poland|y=2004}}, and {{esccnty|Russia|y=2004}} who opted not to broadcast the show.

A new ABBA video was shown in the semi-final, briefly outlining how [[ABBA]] started and what the response was of the first record company they approached. It featured small puppets of the band performing snippets of their songs (the voices being the ones of the band) and featured [[Rik Mayall]] as the record company manager.<ref name="Decade" /> Due to copyright purposes, this was cut from the Eurovision Song Contest DVD and released separately. References to the video before it was shown were also cut.

== Incidents ==
Just before the {{esccnty|Slovenia|y=2004}}n entry was about to be performed, the Turkish broadcaster accidentally took a commercial break which meant the Slovenian song was not heard by Turkish viewers.<ref name="Decade" /> There were technical problems when in a short hiatus halfway through the songs used for the advertising break the hosts tried to contact various parties in Europe. They tried contacting Germany, Spain, and Turkey, but in the end were only able to get a response from Germany. During the {{esccnty|Romania|y=2004}}n postcard introduction, the information for the Romanian entry appeared on the screen, but was quickly taken away. A final minor hiccup occurred when, on her way to present the winner the trophy, [[Sertab Erener]] got her shoe stuck in a speaker grill by the side of the stage and had to be freed by stagehands. However this did not delay proceedings, and other than the above the show ran smoothly.

An hour after the semi-final had been aired, the European Broadcasting Union discovered that there had been problems with the vote counting in {{esccnty|Monaco|y=2004}} and {{esccnty|Croatia|y=2004}}. Digame, an affiliate of [[Deutsche Telekom]], who had been responsible for processing all the votes (from 2004), reported that they had encountered problems with their calculation software, and there was a problem with [[Short message service|text message]] voting in Croatia. When the votes were counted, results showed that Croatia had awarded themselves 4 points, which is against Eurovision rules. Later, an official EBU statement read that there had been technical problems at the side of the Croatian mobile service provider, who neglected to delete the illegal votes from the results. Consequently, some votes were not counted in the results announced at the end of the broadcast of the semi-final. When the results were corrected to include these additional votes, they were found not to have affected which countries had qualified for the final.<ref name="Decade" />

This year was also notable as it was the first year that {{esccnty|Turkey|y=2004}} voted for {{esccnty|Cyprus|y=2004}} and the second year in a row that Cyprus voted for Turkey. When [[Republic of Cyprus|the country]] presented its votes no map of the island was shown although all other presenters were preceded with their country being highlighted on a map. This was probably due to Turkey's recognition of the [[Northern Cyprus|northern half of the island]] as an independent republic, which is not recognised by any other state.<ref name="Decade" />

==Marcel Bezençon Awards==

The [[Marcel Bezençon Awards]], a series of awards held concurrently to the main contest, honour and celebrate the participants of the final of that year's Eurovision Song Contest. Named after [[Marcel Bezençon|one of the people]] influential in the creation of the contest,<ref>{{cite web |title=The Origins of Eurovision |url=https://eurovision.tv/history/origins-of-eurovision |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=7 May 2025 |date=27 May 2019}}</ref> and created by two former Swedish Eurovision participants, [[Christer Björkman]] ({{escyr|1992}}) and [[Richard Herrey]] ({{escyr|1984}} as a member of the winning group [[Herreys]]), the inaugural awards were presented at part of the {{escyr|2002||2002 event}}. Three awards were presented as part of the third edition of the awards in 2004, with the winner of each award determined by the collective votes of a different group of individuals. The Fan Award, which was presented in the previous two editions, was replaced by a Composer Award for the 2004 contest.<ref name="Bezençon1">{{cite web |title=Marcel Bezençon Awards {{!}} Eurovision Song Contest |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/in-depth/marcel-bezencon-awards |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=7 May 2025 |language=en |date=1 July 2019}}</ref><ref name="Bezençon2">{{cite web |title=Marcel Bezençon Award |url=https://www.marcelbezenconaward.com/ |publisher=Marcel Bezençon Award |access-date=7 May 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Richard |first1=Jean-Marc |last2=Clapasson |first2=Mary |last3=Tanner |first3=Nicolas |title=La saga Eurovision |date=2017 |publisher=Favre |location=[[Lausanne]], Switzerland |isbn=978-2-8289-1549-0 |pages=422–425 |language=fr}}</ref>
*The Press Award for the best competing song, as determined by the accredited press and media, was awarded to the {{esccnty|Serbia and Montenegro|y=2004|t=entry from Serbia and Montenegro}}, "{{lang|sr-latn|[[Lane moje]]|i=unset}}" performed by [[Željko Joksimović]] and Ad Hoc Orchestra
*The Artistic Award for the best artistic performance, as determined by previous Eurovision winners, was awarded to the {{esccnty|Ukraine|y=2004|t=Ukrainian entry}}, "[[Wild Dances]]" performed by [[Ruslana]]
*The Composer Award for the best composition, as determined by the participating songwriters in the final, was awarded to the {{esccnty|Cyprus|y=2004|t=Cypriot entry}}, "[[Stronger Every Minute]]", written by Mike Connaris and performed by [[Lisa Andreas]]

The winners each received a hand-blown glass trophy designed by Karin Hammar and created at the {{ill|Stockholm Glass Studio|sv|Stockholms glasbruk}}, which were handed out backstage prior to the contest proper.<ref name="Bezençon1" /><ref name="Bezençon2" />
