The Eurovision Song Contest is the world's most prestigious large-scale singing competition, which started in 1956 and is organized by the European Broadcasting Union. The rules of the contest are that each country and region sends a singer or an orchestra to sing a song of their choice, and then the audience participates in the voting by phone, SMS or the Internet, etc. The winner is indirectly selected by counting the votes, and the country represented by the winner automatically becomes the host of the next year's final. Famous stars such as ABBA (1974) and Celine Dion (1988) were born in the European singing contest.
