2. History of the Eurovision Contest
The history of the Eurovision Song Contest began with an idea
of Sergio Pugliese, of the Italian television RAI, and then approved by
the European Broadcasting Union. The contest was based on the
Italian Sanremo Music Festival.
The first contest took place on 24 May 1956 and only seven countries
participated.

4. Greece in Eurovision
Greece has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 37 times .
The first time was in 1974.
Greece won the 50th Eurovision Contest in the Kiev Sports Centre
on 20th May 2006.
The song, with "My Number One", sung by Elena Paparizou.

5. A few weeks ago the Eurovision contest
was held in Vienne, Austria.
There was a misunderstanding because

most points, compared to other
countries,
but it could not be the winner.
