Script error: No such module "Lang"., Malmö – host venue of the 1992 contest

The 1992 contest took place in Malmö, Sweden, following the country's victory at the Template:Escyr with the song "Fångad av en stormvind", performed by Carola. It was the third time that Sweden had hosted the contest, following the Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr events held in Stockholm and Gothenburg respectively.^[1] The chosen venue was the Script error: No such module "Lang"., normally used as an indoor ice hockey arena and up until 2008 the home stadium of the Malmö Redhawks ice hockey team. Constructed in 1970, the venue had also previously hosted concerts by Frank Sinatra and Julio Iglesias amongst others.Template:Sfn^[2]^[3]^[4] With a typical capacity of 5,800 spectators for ice hockey matches, for the contest an audience of around 3,700 was present.Template:Sfn^[2]

Two-time contest winner Johnny Logan returned as the songwriter of the Template:Esccnty.

With the Template:Esccnty making a return to the contest after missing the previous year's contest, and Template:Esccnty continuing to participate following its return to the event in 1991, twenty-three countries in total competed in the 1992 contestTemplate:Snda new contest record.^[5] Ahead of the 1991 event the Maltese broadcaster had been told by the contest organisers that they would only be allowed to remain in the competition if another nation dropped out of the event, however after placing sixth in the 1991 contest, the organisers instead decided to raise the maximum number of participating countries to twenty-three to make space for continued Maltese participation.Template:Sfn Template:Sfn The contest marked the final participation of Template:Esccnty, whose entry represented the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for the first and only time, following the break-up of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the past year which had been responsible for all previous Yugoslav entries; following the 1992 contest Yugoslavia was excluded from participating and the nation would not return to the contest until Template:Escyr, when it competed under its new name Template:Esccnty.^[6]^[7] The 1992 contest was notable in the fact that only two countries which had previously participated in past editions of the event were absent from the contest, namely Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty.^[4]

Among the competing entries at this year's contest was the first entry to be performed in a French Creole language, and the first appearance of a song performed in Luxembourgish since Template:Escyr.Template:Sfn Template:Sfn

The 1992 event featured a number of artists who had competed in previous editions for the same country: Sigríður Beinteinsdóttir and Template:Ill, two members of Template:Ill, had previously represented Template:Esccnty as Stjórnin; Rom Heck, a member of the group Template:Ill, had represented Template:Esccnty as a member of the group Template:Ill; Linda Martin had represented Template:Esccnty; Mia Martini had represented Template:Esccnty; and the group Wind had represented Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty.Template:Sfn^[8] Additionally, Evridiki participated as lead artist after previously performing backing vocals for Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, and Template:Esccnty.^[9]

Production and format

File:Anders Berglund in 2019.jpg

Anders Berglund (pictured in 2019) was the contest's musical director and led the orchestra during the event

The Eurovision Song Contest 1992 was produced by the Swedish public broadcaster Script error: No such module "Lang". (SVT). Template:Ill served as executive producer, Template:Ill served as producer and director, Göran Arfs served as designer, and Anders Berglund served as musical director leading an assembled orchestra of around 50 musicians.^[5]Template:Sfn Template:Sfn A separate musical director could be nominated by each participating delegation to lead the orchestra during its country's performance, with the host musical director also available to conduct for those countries which did not nominate their own conductor.Template:Sfn On behalf of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the event was overseen by Frank Naef as scrutineer.^[11]^[12]Template:Sfn

Each participating broadcaster submitted one song, which was required to be no longer than three minutes in duration and performed in the language, or one of the languages, of the country which it represented.^[13]^[14] A maximum of six performers were allowed on stage during each country's performance, and all participants were required to have reached the age of 16 in the year of the contest.^[13]^[15] Each entry could utilise all or part of the live orchestra and could use instrumental-only backing tracks, however any backing tracks used could only include the sound of instruments featured on stage being mimed by the performers.^[15]^[16]

Following the confirmation of the twenty-three competing countries, the draw to determine the running order was held on 3 December 1991 and was conducted by Carola.Template:Sfn

The results of the 1992 contest were determined through the same scoring system as had first been introduced in Template:Escyr: each country awarded twelve points to its favourite entry, followed by ten points to its second favourite, and then awarded points in decreasing value from eight to one for the remaining songs which featured in the country's top ten, with countries unable to vote for their own entry.^[17] The points awarded by each country were determined by an assembled jury of sixteen individuals, which was required to be split evenly between members of the public and music professionals, between men and women, and by age. Each jury member voted in secret and awarded between one and ten votes to each participating song, excluding that from their own country and with no abstentions permitted. The votes of each member were collected following the country's performance and then tallied by the non-voting jury chairperson to determine the points to be awarded. In any cases where two or more songs in the top ten received the same number of votes, a show of hands by all jury members was used to determine the final placing.Template:Sfn Template:Sfn

The stage design for the Malmö contest centred around a large representation of the bow of a Viking ship, flanked on either side by sets of stairs, while a hexagonal design was used for the floor area in front which was painted to resemble the Eurovision network logo.^[5]Template:Sfn To the left of the stage as seen by the audience sat the orchestra, while to the right stood a large video wall and a smaller stage for use by the presenters to introduce each act and during the voting sequence. Behind the Viking ship the backdrop featured a representation using neon lighting of the span of the Öresund Bridge, the construction of which had yet to begin but which would connect Sweden and Denmark, and thus connecting Sweden with the bulk of the European mainland from 1999.Template:Sfn^[18]^[19]

Rehearsals in the contest venue began on 3 May 1992, focussing on the opening performances and interval act. The participating artists began their rehearsals on 4 May, and each participating delegation was afforded two technical rehearsals in the week of the contest, with countries rehearsing in the order in which they would perform. The first rehearsals, held on 4 and 5 May, saw each country given a 40-minute slot on stage, followed by a press conference. Each delegation was then given a second slot to rehearse on stage, this time for 30 minutes, on 6 and 7 May. Three dress rehearsals were held with all artists, two held in the afternoon and evening of 8 May and one final rehearsal in the afternoon of 9 May. Audiences were present for the latter two dress rehearsals, and the final afternoon dress rehearsal was also recorded for use as a production stand-by. During the contest week the participating delegations were also invited to a welcome reception, which was held in Template:Ill.Template:Sfn The Yugoslav representative had been given additional security in the form of bodyguards and a doctor due to the breakout of the Yugoslav Wars.^[20]

This year's contest featured a mascot: the "Eurobird", an anthropomorphic bird, featured as a computer animated character during the transition between the competing songs.^[18]^[21]

Contest overview

File:Linda Martin 2013 01 (crop 2).jpg

Having previously come second at the Template:Escyr, Template:Esccnty's Linda Martin (pictured in 2013) returned and won the event with the song "Why Me?".

The contest took place on 9 May 1992 at 21:00 (CEST) with a duration of 3 hours. The show was presented by the Swedish journalists and television presenters Lydia Capolicchio and Harald Treutiger.^[5]Template:Sfn

The opening sequence featured a computer-generated animation showing the journey from the previous year's host city Rome to Malmö, including oversized models placed on the European continent representing the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Alps, the Eiffel Tower, and structures in Malmö including Malmö Castle, Kronprinsen and the Hyllie Water Tower.Template:Sfn^[18] This was followed by performances within the venue by the Template:Ill rhythmic gymnastics troupe, involving ribbon choreography to an instrumental version of "Script error: No such module "Lang".", and the previous year's winning artist Carola who sang the song "All the Reasons to Live".^[21]Template:Sfn The interval act, entitled "A Century of Dance", featured David Johnson, Teresa Ibrahim, the Crazy Feat dance troupe and dancers from the Template:Ill, in a performance that showed the evolution of dance in Sweden and worldwide over the previous century; among the music pieces featured during the performance was "It Must Have Been Love" originally recorded by the Swedish duo Roxette.^[18]^[21]Template:Sfn The trophy awarded to the winners was presented at the end of the broadcast by Carola.Template:Sfn

The winner was Template:Esccnty represented by the song "Why Me?", written by Johnny Logan and performed by Linda Martin.^[22] This was the fourth time that Ireland had won the contest, following victories Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, and Template:Esccnty.^[23] Having come second Template:Esccnty, Martin became the third artist to have placed both first and second in the contest, alongside Lys Assia and Gigliola Cinquetti, and songwriter Logan, who had already won the contest twice as a performer in 1980 and 1987Template:Sndthe latter win additionally as the songwriterTemplate:Sndbecame the third individual to record two songwriting wins, alongside Willy van Hemert and Yves Dessca, and became the first, and Template:As of only, individual to record three wins as either singer or songwriter.Template:Sfn^[24]^[25] The Template:Esccnty finished in second place for a record-extending thirteenth time, while Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty recorded their best ever results to date with third- and fifth-place finishes respectively.^[26]^[27]^[28] Conversely host country Template:Esccnty recorded one of its worst ever results, finishing 22nd and second-to-last, and Template:Esccnty picked up its seventh last-place finish.^[1]^[21] With Ireland, the United Kingdom and Malta taking the top three places, all entries which were performed in English reached the top positions.^[5]^[29]

Broadcasts

Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants".^[15] Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers. These commentators were typically sent to the venue to report on the event, and were able to provide commentary from small booths constructed at the back of the venue.^[37]^[38]

The contest was broadcast in 44 countries, including Australia, New Zealand and South Korea, with an estimated global audience of 150 to 250 million viewers.Template:Sfn^[39]^[40] Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators are shown in the tables below.
