I finalisti della Seconda Semifinale furono: Lituania, Montenegro, Norvegia, Israele, Lettonia, Azerbaigian, Svezia, Cipro, Slovenia e Polonia. 

Missed participation

• 2015 | 🇦🇱 Albania: “Diell / Të kërkoj” (Sun) (Albanian) – Elhaida Dani. The song was originally going to represent Albania in Vienna. The entry would’ve been performed by Elhaida Dani, and was written by Aldo Shllaku, Viola Trebicka and Sokol Marsi, however on 23 February 2015 the songwriters decided to withdraw the song and Dani will perform something else at Eurovision. The following day it was revealed that Dani will perform “I’m Alive”.

• 2015 | 🇩🇪 Germany: “Heart Of Stone” (English) – Andreas Kümmert. The song was originally chosen to represent Germany in Vienna. Unser Song für Österreich (Our Song for Austria) was the competition that selected Germany’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Eight artists participated in the competition with two songs each; seven of the participants were established artists, while the eighth participant was selected from a club concert wildcard round for new talents (1.213 entries were received). Ten artists were selected to compete and the winner of the wildcard round, Ann Sophie with “Jump the Gun”, was determined solely by public televoting. The national final featured eight competing artists performing their song entries. The selection of the winning entry was to occur over three rounds with public televoting determining the results for each round. The first round reduced eight artists to four (each artist performed one of the two songs they had selected to perform first), the second reduced four artists to two (each artist performed one of the two songs) and the third round, public televoting determined the winning entry. Andreas Kümmert was announced as the winner, however he declined the opportunity to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest and Ann Sophie and her song “Black Smoke” was declared the German representative.

Second Semi-Final:

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 2014 contest with the song “Rise Like a Phoenix” by Conchita Wurst. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), the contest was held at the Hall D of the 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 Australia making a guest appearance. Cyprus and Serbia returned, after their one-year absence, while the Czech Republic returned after their last participation in 2009. Meanwhile, Ukraine announced their non-participation due to financial and political crises related to the Russo-Ukrainian War.

The winner was Sweden 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 just three years, having also won the 2012 edition. It also marked the shortest gap between two wins for the same country since Ireland’s 1994 and 1996 victories. Russia, Italy, Belgium and Australia rounded out the top five. This was the first time since the juries were reintroduced alongside the televoting in 2009 that the winner did not place first in the televoting; Italy was the televote winner, while Sweden was the jury winner. Further down the table, Montenegro achieved its best result since its independence, finishing thirteenth.

For the first time, the top four of the contest all scored 200 points or better. Russia’s entry “A Million Voices” became the first non-winning Eurovision song to score over 300 points. Austria and Germany became the first countries since 2003 to score no points in the final, with Austria also becoming the first host country to score no points.

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

1.Location.

1.1.Venue. The event took place in Vienna, Austria, with the venue being the Hall D of the Wiener Stadthalle, after Austria won the right to host this edition of the Eurovision Song Contest after winning the 2014 edition with the song “Rise Like a Phoenix”, performed by Conchita Wurst. The Wiener Stadthalle hosts the annual Erste Bank Open tennis tournament, along with many concerts and events throughout the year and has a capacity of approximately 16,000 attendees.

1.2.Bidding phase. After Austria’s victory in the 2014 contest, their delegation revealed the possibility of hosting the contest either in the capital city, Vienna, or in Salzburg. 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.

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. Oberwart, with the Exhibition hall, and Vorarlberg, with the Vorarlberger Landestheater, were the latest cities to declare an interest. 

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

• 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 15 metres (49 ft), 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 6,000 square metres (65,000 sq ft) 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 4,000 square metres (43,000 sq ft) in area, with a capacity of at least 1,500 journalists.

After the deadline on 13 June 2014, ORF announced 12 venues interested in hosting the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest: 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. On 6 August 2014, ORF announced the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna as the host venue. 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.

1.3.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.

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.

2.Format. The competition consisted of two semi-finals and a final, a format which has been in use since 2008. 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. 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. 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.

The 2015 contest was the last time that the scoring system introduced in 1975 was used, before the format was modified the following year.

2.1.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.

2.2.Graphic design. 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. On 11 September, the slogan for the 2015 contest was revealed to be “Building Bridges”. The graphic design of the contest was revealed by the EBU on 25 November. 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. 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.

2.3.Presenters. Mirjam Weichselbraun, Alice Tumler and Arabella Kiesbauer were the hosts of the 2015 contest; the all-female trio was the first in history to host the contest. The previous edition’s winner Conchita Wurst was chosen as green room host.

2.4.Semi-final allocation draw. The draw that determined the semi-final allocation was held on 26 January 2015 at the Vienna Rathaus and hosted by Andi Knoll and Kati Bellowitsch. The participating countries, excluding the automatic finalists (host country Austria, the “Big Five” and Australia), were split into five pots, based on voting patterns from the previous ten years. The pots were calculated by the televoting partner Digame and were as follows:

Pot 1	Pot 2	Pot 3	Pot 4	Pot 5

2.5.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 1966 winning song “Merci, Chérie” in tribute to Udo Jürgens. 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. 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. Wurst later performed “You Are Unstoppable” and “Firestorm”, both from her self-titled debut album.

3.Participating countries. On 23 December 2014, thirty-nine countries were initially announced to be participating in the 2015 contest. Cyprus and Serbia returned after one-year absences, the Czech Republic returned after a five-year absence, while Ukraine did not enter. Australia was later announced to be making its debut as a guest participant. The deadline to apply for participation was 15 September 2014. Countries that applied had until 10 October 2014 to withdraw from participation without financial consequences.

3.1.Invitation of Australia. On 10 February 2015, the EBU announced that in honour of the 60th anniversary of Eurovision, it had invited Australia 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.

3.2.Returning artists. Inga Arshakyan, who was part of Genealogy in 2015, represented Armenia in 2009, collaborating with her sister as part of Inga and Anush. Michele Perniola and Anita Simoncini both previously represented San Marino at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest: Perniola took part in 2013, and Simoncini took part in 2014. Amber, who represented Malta, was a backing vocalist for the Maltese entry in 2012. Uzari, who represented Belarus, was a backing vocalist for the Belarusian entry in 2011. Elnur Hüseynov, who was Azerbaijan’s debut representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, as part of the duo Elnur and Samir, was internally selected to represent the nation for a second time. Raay, who is a part of the Slovene duo Maraaya, was a backing musical performer for the 2014 entry of Slovenia. Hera Björk, who previously represented Iceland in 2010, returned as a backing singer for Iceland’s entry. Nicolas Dorian, part of Witloof Bay, Belgium representatives in 2011, was part of the backing vocalists of Loic Nottet.

3.3.Semi-final 1. 16 countries took part in the first semi-final. Australia, Austria, France and Spain voted in this semi-final. The highlighted countries qualified for the final.

3.4.Semi-final 2. 17 countries took part in this semi-final. Australia, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom voted in this semi-final. The highlighted countries qualified for the final.

3.5.Final. As in the 2014 contest, the winner was announced as soon as it was mathematically impossible to catch up. In this case, the winner had been determined by the 36th vote, which came from Cyprus. 27 countries participated in the final, which is the most in any contest ever.

5.Other countries. For a country to be eligible for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, it needs to be an active member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The EBU issued an invitation of participation for the 2015 contest to all 56 active members. Thirty-nine countries confirmed their participation, whilst the following list of countries declined stating their reasons as shown below.

5.1.Active EBU members.

•  Andorra – On 17 June 2014, Andorran broadcaster Ràdio i Televisió d’Andorra (RTVA) confirmed that Andorra would not return to the contest in 2015.
• 🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina – The Bosnian broadcaster, Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT), had submitted a provisional application to participate in the 2015 contest, whilst they determined how to fund the participation fees. This application was subject to change and participation could subsequently be withdrawn. On 17 November 2014, the broadcaster announced that they had withdrawn their application to participate at the forthcoming contest because of financial reasons.
• 🇧🇬 Bulgaria – Despite sending a preliminary application to participate, on 10 October 2014 the Bulgarian broadcaster Bulgarian National Television (BNT) announced that it would not return to the contest because of financial reasons. On 31 October 2014, BNT confirmed that they had not yet taken a final decision on participation at the 2015 contest, and that the EBU had given them extra time to resolve outstanding budget issues. However, on 18 December 2014, BNT confirmed via their official Eurovision Twitter account that they would not take part in the 2015 contest.
• 🇭🇷 Croatia – On 26 September 2014, Croatian national broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) confirmed that Croatia would not participate in the 2015 contest.
•  Lebanon – Télé Liban (TL) confirmed on 15 September 2014 that Lebanon would not be making their debut in Vienna. Lebanon were initially going to make their debut at the 2005 contest, but they pulled out prior to the contest due to financial reasons.
• 🇱🇺 Luxembourg – On 31 July 2014, RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg confirmed that Luxembourg would not be returning to the contest in 2015. However, it was reported on 26 October 2014 that the country’s Minister of Culture, Maggy Nagel, expressed her desire for the country to return to the contest. This was later confirmed by Nagel to be a “misunderstanding” and that the country would not be returning. A collaboration with San Marino had been proposed by the broadcaster SMRTV and singer Thierry Mersch, but later SMRTV clarified that there have only been talks between the two countries and the broadcaster is evaluating other proposals. However, on 24 November 2014, it was announced that Mersch had failed to raise the necessary funds in time for the project to move forward.
•  Monaco – Monegasque broadcaster Télé Monte Carlo (TMC) confirmed on 20 June 2014 that Monaco would not return to the contest in 2015.
•  Morocco – Moroccan broadcaster Société Nationale de Radiodiffusion et de Télévision (SNRT) confirmed on 31 October 2014 that Morocco would not return to the contest in 2015.
• 🇸🇰 Slovakia – On 26 August 2014, Radio and Television Slovakia (RTVS) announced that Slovakia would not return to the contest in 2015 because of financial restrictions and an incompatibility between the contest format and the programming goals of the broadcaster.
• 🇹🇷 Turkey – Though the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) announced that Turkey would not be participating in the 2014 for the second year in a row, it was later reported that a return in the 2015 contest could be possible with Eurovision event supervisor Sietse Bakker tweeting about the possibility of the country’s return. In late August 2014, it was reported that international public relations officer for TRT, Yağmur Tüzün, stated that Turkey would not be returning to the contest in 2015 and that TRT currently has no plans to return to the competition. The non-participation was further confirmed on 5 September 2014.
• 🇺🇦 Ukraine – On 19 September 2014, Ukrainian broadcaster National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) announced that Ukraine would not be participating in the contest because of financial reasons and the ongoing armed conflict in the country. On 16 September 2015, it was announced that Ukraine would return to the contest in 2016.

5.2.Require active EBU membership.

•  Liechtenstein – The Liechtenstein broadcaster 1FLTV suspended its plans to join the EBU because of lack of funding.

6.Broadcasts. Most countries sent commentators to Vienna or commentated from their own country, in order to add insight to the participants and, if necessary, the provision of voting information.

It was reported by the EBU that the 2015 contest was viewed by a worldwide television audience of a record breaking 197 million viewers, beating the 2014 record which was viewed by 195 million.

7.Incidents.

7.1.Reaction to Russia’s results. 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). 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.^[160] 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.” The contest’s executive supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, urged that Eurovision should be a “friendly battlefield….not a political battleground”, 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.

7.2.Smoke machine malfunction. During the performance of Georgia in the grand 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.

7.3.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 final result of the contest was not affected.
