EUROVISION COUNTRIES

 

1993

Ireland equalled the record for most victories at the Eurovision Song Contest shared with France and Luxembourg at the time. The 1993 Irish triumph also mirrored the previous back-to-back wins of Spain, Luxembourg and Israel.

Three new nations joined the ESC family. Aspirant countries battled it out in a special ‘pre-qualifying round’. Only 3 would progress to the Final. The lucky trio consisted of: (in order of performance during the Grand Final) Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. Unsuccessful contenders would have to wait.

While the former and the latter continue participating, Bosnia & Herzegovina was most recently represented in 2016.
