Ex. 11.11: Eurovision – Culture

EUROVISION. Each year, Norway takes part in a European competition called Eurovision, which Norwegians refer to as “Grand Prix.”  This competition begins with Norwegian artists competing to be the representative from Norway. Then the winner competes against performers from the other participating countries. The competition began in 1965 and to date has included 51 countries. The 2014 contest was viewed by just under 200 million people.

Norway has won only three times. Watch their winning performances on the YouTube videos below to find out the name of the band and the song title that won.
