Hi Cleo,
Eurovision is a song contest in Europe, that takes place once a year. Each European country chooses who will represent them, usually by having a national competition.
In the beggining there were only 7 countries and it gradually grew to include most western european countries. After the brake down of the USSR and the ending of the cold war more and more ex-communist countries startet participating, bringing the number of competitors to around 36 or something ( including Turkey and Israel ).
So this year, they had a pre-liminary round and a final round, where only 24 countries could participate.
People from each european country can vote for their favourite song by calling in or SMS'ing with their mobiles.
