The Eurovision Song Contest was inaugurated in  1956 and has been held every year since its inception.

Each participant country has a television broadcasting channel that is a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). It is the responsibility of this channel to select a song and a singer from among many other participants to represent their country on the international stage. The event is broadcasted live in every participating country at the same time.

The rules of the competition dictate that the country that wins a Eurovision Song Contest is invited to host the next event in the following year. In the year 2008, the award was won by Russian Dima Bilan for the rendition of a song called ‘Believe.’ Hence, the 54th Eurovision Song Contest, 2009 will be held in Russia on 16th May, 2009. The contest will be held in the Olympic Indoor Arena in Moscow as confirmed by Vladimir Putin, the Prime Minister of Russia, himself. This was also confirmed by the European Broadcasting Union as well.
