The Eurovision Song Contest 2010 will be the 55th Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will take place at the Telenor Arena, in the municipality suburb of Bærum, which is situated in the southern part of the Greater Oslo[2], Norway. This follows Alexander Rybak's win at the 2009 contest with "Fairytale". It will be the third time Norway has hosted the Contest, having previously done so in 1986 and 1996. The semi-finals will take place on 25 and 27 May 2010, with the final on 29 May 2010.[1][3] 22 countries have confirmed their participation in the contest.

Venue

The Norwegian Minister for Culture, Trond Giske, and the head of host broadcaster Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), Hans-Tore Bjerkaas, have agreed on a budget of €17 million (150 million Norwegian kroner).[4] The budget is less than the amount which was spent on the 2009 contest in Moscow, but is greater than the amount dedicated to the 2007 contest in Helsinki.[5]

At a press conference in Oslo on 27 May 2009, it was announced that the show will be held in the Oslo metropolitan area. NRK argued that Oslo was the only city with the required capacity, venues, and infrastructure to hold the show. On 3 July 2009, it was decided that the venue will be the newly constructed Telenor Arena, in the municipality of Bærum neighbouring Oslo.[6] The Oslo Spektrum was ruled out to host the contest due to its smaller size and capacity.[1]

Presenters

Norwegian media has debated which television personalities will present the 2010 contest. NRK hosts Jon Almaas and Fredrik Skavlan of Nytt på nytt and Først & sist, respectively, are amongst the ones being discussed, while the popular TV 2 duo Thomas Numme and Harald Rønneberg came in first during a voting-campaign that Dagbladet had posted on its website where readers could vote on the celebrity they would wanted to present the contest the most. The well known TV 2 presenter Dorthe Skappel has expressed interest in presenting the contest ceremony, and came second on Dagbladet's poll.[7] It is unknown whether Ingvild Bryn, presenter of the 1996 Contest, has been approached to host again. NRK have not yet announced who will present the 2010 Contest.

Possible return of the orchestra

A number of fans began a campaign on social networking site Facebook to return the orchestra to the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo, for the first time since 1998, with close to 4,000 people joining. The orchestra, used from the first contest in 1956, was dropped after the 1998 contest due to rapid developments in music technology, which made backing tracks more useful. The debate on whether to return the orchestra to the contest has occured since, with no such change planned by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).[8][9]

Jan Fredrik Heyerdahl of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra has said that they would be interested in participating in the contest next year, given that the EBU and NRK agree. Some challenges may face their attempt, such as the fact that the number of participating entries has increased from 25 to around 40 since the last time an orchestra was seen on the Eurovision stage, with more than 40 entries now competing every year.[8][9]

Participants

Template:2010 Eurovision Song Contest entries

22 countries have confirmed their participation in the 2010 Contest:

The EBU announced that it will work harder to bring back Austria, Italy, and Monaco to the 2010 Contest.[39] Télé Monte Carlo (TMC) however has declared that Monaco will not be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest for the 2010 Edition.[40] San Marino is considering returning to the competition, after withdrawing in 2009 due to financial concerns.[11] The RTL Group has also announced that they are in serious considerations regarding a possible comeback for Luxembourg in the contest for the first time since 1993. The broadcaster will decide whether to return in December, depending on the budget of the broadcaster in relation to the Contest.[41]

Liechtenstein and its only broadcaster 1FLTV (1 Fürstentum Liechtenstein Television) is filling in application to join EBU. 1FLTV's programme director Mr. Peter Kolbel has confirmed interest in Liechtenstein's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest as soon as full EBU membership is granted. They are ready to debut in 2010, with a national final that is similar to the German version of the Idol series - Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS).[11][42]

Azerbaijan's participation has been put into doubt following controversial actions alleged to have occurred during and immediately after the 2009 contest. The EBU are set to investigate the allegations during a meeting on 11 September 2009.[43] Azerbaijan has responded by stating that nobody in the country had been questioned on voting in the contest.[44] Andorra's broadcaster Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra (RTVA) has announced a 10% reduction in its spending budget for 2010 which may result in withdrawal of Andorra from the contest.[45]

Withdrawing countries

  •  Czech Republic will leave the Contest due to a lack of interest from Czech viewers after three successive semi-final failures since their debut in 2007.[46][47]
