AUSTRALIA

Australia was invited to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015. This was presented as a one-off, but an Aussie entry competed at Stockholm last year. Australia will be participating again in Kiev. 

Guy Sebastian achieved a 5th place for Australia's debut. Dami Im improved on that result, attracting the most jury votes and finishing in the runner-up position overall with "Sound Of Silence" last year.

The as yet unannounced entry from Down Under will be competing in Semi-Final 1.

WINS: 2

BEST ENTRY EVER:

TONIGHT AGAIN Guy Sebastian

 

HONOURABLE MENTION(S):

SOUND OF SILENCE Dami Im
