Template:Short description Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox Song Contest The Eurovision Song Contest 2015 was the 60th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Vienna, Austria, following the country's victory at the Template:Escyr with the song "Rise Like a Phoenix" by Conchita Wurst. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Script error: No such module "Lang". (ORF), the contest was held at Wiener Stadthalle, and consisted of two semi-finals on 19 and 21 May, and a final on 23 May 2015. The three live shows were presented by Austrian television presenters Mirjam Weichselbraun, Alice Tumler and Arabella Kiesbauer, while the previous edition's winner Conchita Wurst acted as the green room host.

Forty countries participated in the contest, with Template:Esccnty making a guest appearance. Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty returned after a one-year absence, while the Template:Esccnty returned after its last participation in Template:Escyr. Meanwhile, Template:Esccnty did not participate due to financial and political crises related to the Russo-Ukrainian War.

The winner was Template:Esccnty with the song "Heroes", performed by Måns Zelmerlöw and written by Anton Malmberg Hård af Segerstad, Joy Deb and Linnea Deb. This was the country's second win in three years, having also won in Template:Escyr. Sweden won the jury vote and had the highest combined points, but placed third in the televote behind Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty. Overall the latter two countries placed third and second respectively, and Template:Esccnty and Australia rounded out the top five. Further down the table, Template:Esccnty achieved its best result since its independence, finishing thirteenth.

For the first time, the top four of the contest all scored over 200 points, with Russia's entry "A Million Voices" also becoming the first non-winning Eurovision song to score over 300 points. Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty became the first countries since Template:Escyr to score no points in the final, with Austria also becoming the first host country to fail to score a point.

The EBU reported that over 197 million viewers watched the contest, beating the 2014 viewing figures by 2 million.

Wiener Stadthalle, Vienna – host venue of the 2015 contest

The 2015 contest took place at Hall D of Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, following the country's win in the 2014 edition with the song "Rise Like a Phoenix", performed by Conchita Wurst. Wiener Stadthalle hosts the annual Erste Bank Open tennis tournament, along with numerous concerts and events throughout the year. Hall D has a capacity of approximately 16,000 attendees.[1]

Bidding phase

After Austria's victory in the Template:Escyr contest, their delegation revealed the possibility of hosting the contest either in the capital city, Vienna, or in Salzburg.[2] Vienna, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck, Lower Austria, Graz, Upper Austria, Burgenland, and Vorarlberg were all reportedly interested in hosting the contest; Salzburg pulled out of the bidding phase as the city was not able to meet the cost of the venue and promotion.[3]

Vienna, considered the front-runner, had two venues in the phase: Wiener Stadthalle and the trade fair centre, Messe Wien, with capacities of up to 16,000 and 30,000 attendees respectively. Also in the race were Stadthalle Graz and Schwarzl Freizeit Zentrum, both located in the second largest city of Austria, Graz. With a maximum capacity of 30,000, the Wörthersee Stadium in Klagenfurt also joined the race; however, it would require the construction of a roof for the contest to be hosted there. Innsbruck also joined the race with Olympiahalle, which hosted ice hockey and figure skating at the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics. A fifth city, Linz, joined the race with Brucknerhaus, although the venue would not be big enough for the contest. Being geographically close to Linz, Wels showed desire to host the event as well.[4] Oberwart, with the Exhibition hall, and Vorarlberg, with the Vorarlberger Landestheater, were the latest cities to declare an interest.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

On 29 May 2014, Austrian host public broadcaster ORF and the EBU released some requirements and details about the venue.[5][6] ORF requested interested parties to respond by 13 June 2014.[7]

  • The venue must be available for at least 6 to 7 weeks before the contest and one week after the conclusion of the contest.
  • The venue must not be open-air, but an air-conditioned building with a capacity of at least 10,000 and a minimum ceiling height of Script error: No such module "convert"., insulated for sound and light.
  • The Green Room should be located in the arena or as near it as possible, with a capacity of 300.
  • An additional room at least Script error: No such module "convert". in area, to house 2 catering stands, a viewing room, make-up rooms, wardrobe, and booths for approximately 50 commentators.
  • Separate offices to house the press centre, open between 11 and 24 May 2015, at least Script error: No such module "convert". in area, with a capacity of at least 1,500 journalists.[5]

After the deadline on 13 June 2014, ORF announced 12 venues interested in hosting the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest:[8] ORF announced on 21 June 2014 that 3 cities (Vienna, Innsbruck, and Graz) had been short-listed in the final stage of the bidding process.[9][10][11] On 6 August 2014, ORF announced the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna as the host venue.[1] The contest was provisionally set to take place on 12, 14 and 16 May 2015, but the dates were later pushed back a week in order to accommodate the candidate cities.[12]

Inclusive traffic lights in Vienna

The city of Vienna introduced temporary new traffic signals for pedestrians on some streets, featuring same-sex couples holding hands or hugging. They were introduced as part of events connected to the theme of tolerance and inclusion in the lead-up to the Eurovision Song Contest.[15]

Traffic lights of the same – copyrighted – design of the kind "Ampelpärchen" (couples for traffic lights) followed before Christopher Street Days in June 2015 in Salzburg and Linz. In Salzburg the initiative SoHo and social democrate mayor Schaden promoted the change of the shape of the LED-lamps. The faceplates in Linz has been financed by sponsors driven by a Facebook-based initiative, but have been removed – without consent – by the new traffic minister of Linz of the party FPÖ in early December 2015.[16][17][18][19]

Invitation of Australia

On 10 February 2015, the EBU announced that in honour of the 60th anniversary of Eurovision, it had invited Template:Esccnty to participate in the final of the contest, represented by Special Broadcasting Service (SBS). SBS had been a long-time broadcaster of the event, which has had a large following in Australia. The Australian entry was placed directly in the grand final. Although it was considered a one-off event, if Australia were to win, SBS would have co-hosted the 2016 contest in a European host city of its choice. The EBU considered the possibility of similarly inviting countries to participate in future editions of the contest. Australia's participation brought the number of the finalists up to 27, the highest number of entries in a final in the contest's history.[24][25]

Returning artists

Inga Arshakyan, representing Armenia as part of Genealogy, represented Template:Esccnty, with her sister as part of Inga and Anush.[26] Michele Perniola and Anita Simoncini both had represented Template:Esccnty at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest: Perniola in Template:Esccnty, and Simoncini in Template:Esccnty.[27] Amber, representing Malta, was a backing vocalist for Template:Esccnty. Uzari, representing Belarus, was a backing vocalist for Template:Esccnty.[28] Elnur Hüseynov, had represented Template:Esccnty as part of the duo Elnur and Samir.[29] Raay, representing Slovenia as part of the duo Maraaya, was a backing musical performer for Template:Esccnty.[30] Hera Björk, who had represented Template:Esccnty, returned as a backing singer for Iceland.[31] Nicolas Dorian, who had represented Template:Esccnty as part of Witloof Bay, returned as a backing singer for Belgium.

Other countries

Active EBU members

BHRT and BNT, the broadcasters for Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty, had both submitted a preliminary applications to participate in the 2015 contest,[32][33] but ultimately withdrew them because of financial reasons.[34][35] Template:Esccnty broadcaster NTU also opted out of the contest because of financial reasons and the ongoing armed conflict in the country.[36][37]

Active EBU member broadcasters in Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty (despite failed attempts by Template:Esccnty and Thierry Mersch to raise funds for a collaboration), Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty confirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU.[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] Despite tweets by Eurovision event supervisor Sietse Bakker about the possibility of the Template:Esccnty's return in 2015,[49][50] Turkish broadcaster TRT later confirmed that they had no plans in this regard.[51][52][53]

Format

Script error: No such module "Multiple image".The competition consisted of two semi-finals and a final, a format which has been in use since Template:Escyr. The ten countries with the highest scores in each semi-final qualified to the final where they joined the host nation Austria, the five main sponsoring nations (known as the "Big Five"): France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, and Australia which was invited this year to commemorate the contest's 60th anniversary.[24] Each participating country had their own national jury, which consisted of five professional members of the music industry. Each member of a respective nation's jury was required to rank every song, except that of their own country. The voting results from each member of a particular nation's jury were combined to produce an overall ranking from first to last place. Likewise, the televoting results were also interpreted as a full ranking, taking into account the full televoting result rather than just the top ten. The combination of the juries' full ranking and the televote's full ranking produced an overall ranking of all competing entries. The song which scored the highest overall rank received 12 points, while the tenth-best ranked song received one point.[54] In the event of a televoting failure (insufficient number of votes or technical issues) or jury failure (technical issue or breach of rules), only one of the methods was used by each country.[55][56]

The 2015 contest was the last time that the scoring system introduced in Template:Escyr was used, before the format was modified the following year.

Organising team formation

During an initial meeting between the host broadcaster ORF and the EBU in late May 2014, the representatives of the core organising team were selected. Edgar Böhm, who is the Head of Entertainment at ORF, was announced as the executive producer.[57]

Graphic design

Script error: No such module "Multiple image".

On 31 July 2014, the EBU released a new and revamped version of the generic logo as a celebration of the Eurovision Song Contest's 60th anniversary.[58] On 11 September, the slogan for the 2015 contest was revealed to be "Building Bridges".[59] The graphic design of the contest was revealed by the EBU on 25 November.[60] The theme art depicts a wave made up of spheres which symbolise diversity, the bridging of connections and people's experiences.

The postcards of this year's contest was also based on the slogan "Building Bridges". Each postcard starts with a drive-by scene of the contestants' capital city, before showing every contestant receiving an invitation to Austria, where the contestants take part in a local activity.[61] The postcards end with a picture of their activity plastered onto a billboard, placed in different locations across Vienna.

For this year's contest, all hashtags for the participating countries incorporated IOC country codes which were displayed onscreen alongside the main country names.[62]

Presenters

Opening and interval acts

The EBU ident's accompanying "Te Deum", which opened the broadcasts, was performed by the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra from the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace for the final. The overture featured violinist Lidia Baich, winner of the Eurovision Young Musicians 1998, who performed live on stage an excerpt of Austria's Template:Escyr winning song "Merci, Chérie" in tribute to Udo Jürgens.[66] The ESC Vienna All-Stars, consisting of Conchita Wurst, the Vienna Boys' Choir, multinational Suparar Children's Choir, rapper Left Boy, and the contest's presenters, then jointly performed the official anthem of the contest, "Building Bridges", accompanied by the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Peter Pejtsik.[67] The twenty-seven finalists later took to the stage during the flag parade via a walkway through the audience from the green room.

The interval act was provided by percussionist Martin Grubinger and his band, the Percussive Planet Ensemble. The nine-minute performance, based on classical themes of major Austrian composers, included forty instrumentalists as well as the Grammy Award-winning Arnold Schoenberg Choir.[68] Wurst later performed "You Are Unstoppable" and "Firestorm", both from her self-titled debut album.[69]

Incidents and controversies

Reaction to Russia's results

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".

File:20150512 ESC 2015 Polina Gagarina 4768.jpg
Polina Gagarina at the 2015 contest.

During the results segment of the final, loud boos could be heard whenever Russia was mentioned or the country received one of the top three set of points (12, 10 or 8 points).[149] The Russian entrant Polina Gagarina could be seen crying in the green room during the voting procedure, and this was reported by various media to have occurred as a result of the booing.[150] During a break in the countries' reporting of their votes, when the running total showed Russia leading, green room host Conchita Wurst said to Gagarina, "You gave an amazing performance, and you deserve to be in the lead."[149] The contest's executive supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, urged that Eurovision should be a "friendly battlefield....not a political battleground",[151] and presenter Alice Tumler reminded the audience that "Our motto is 'Building Bridges', and music should stand over politics tonight." The organisers had anticipated such reactions, and had prepared and installed 'anti-booing technology', which was deployed for the first time in the history of the contest.[152]

Smoke machine malfunction

During the performance of Georgia in the final, a smoke machine malfunctioned, causing the Georgian entrant Nina Sublatti to temporarily disappear from view on the stage in a cloud of grey smoke.[153]

Macedonia and Montenegro jury results excluded

The jury votes from Macedonia and Montenegro in the final were not included, in accordance with the rules of the contest. The rules indicate that votes must consist of 50% jurors and 50% televoting, but Macedonia's and Montenegro's votes was based entirely on televoting. The final result of the contest was not affected.[154][155]

Other awards

In addition to the main winner's trophy, the Marcel Bezençon Awards and the Barbara Dex Award were contested during the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest. The OGAE, "General Organisation of Eurovision Fans" voting poll also took place before the contest.

Marcel Bezençon Awards

The Marcel Bezençon Awards, organised since 2002 by Sweden's then-Head of Delegation and 1992 representative Christer Björkman, and 1984 winner Richard Herrey, honours songs in the contest's final.[156] The awards are divided into three categories: Artistic Award, Composers Award, and Press Award. The winners were revealed shortly before the final on 23 May.[157]
