The Eurovision Song Contest 2013 is the 58th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It happened in MalmÃÆ'¶, Sweden, following Loreen's victory at the 2012 contest in Baku, Azerbaijan with the song "Euphoria". This is the fifth time Sweden held the contest, the last time in 2000. Sveriges Television (SVT) chose MalmÃÆ'¶ Arena as a place to follow the considerations of several places in Sweden. The host for the contest is Petra Mede. Thirty-nine participating countries, including Armenia, were last represented in 2011. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Slovakia and Turkey announced their withdrawal from the 2013 Contest.
The contest's design is built around the theme of "We Are One" - highlighting the equality and unity of all participating countries in addition to the cultural diversity and influence of each participant. Compared to many of the previous contests in Eurovision's history, rather than focusing on promoting its own country, Sweden chose to focus on the artists and their respective countries. Postcards presented before every song that is often used to show the nature, culture and social life of the host country, are altered to show the typical daily life of each artist in their home country spread throughout Europe.
The winner for 2013 is Denmark with the song "Only Teardrops" sung by Emmelie de Forest, who scored 281 points, defeating Azerbaijan by a margin of 47 points. This made it the second time Denmark won on Swedish soil. Ukraine finished in third place and Norway finished fourth, while Russia finished in fifth place. Out of the countries with the status of 'Big Five', only Italy managed to finish in the top ten, the third in a row since returning, was seventh with 126 points, exactly double the amount left. The Netherlands completed the ninth in their first participation in the final since 2004. 170 million viewers watched the 2013 edition of the semifinals and finals. For the first time since 1985, no country from the former Yugoslav federation participated in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.
This year is the first time Eurovision matures featuring "Parade of Nations", which has been in Eurovision Junior since 2004, an idea introduced by Sweden to become a new Eurovision tradition. This concept sees all the countries that appear in the Grand Final present themselves with their national flag before the contest begins. This year, the contestants enter the main stage by walking across the bridge over the audience. This idea was continued in the following years by Denmark and Austria, hosting Eurovision 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Lokasi
On July 8, 2012, the Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) announced that MalmÃÆ'¶ Arena in MalmÃÆ'¶ will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2013. This is the fifth time after 1975, 1985, 1992 and 2000 that the competition is held in Sweden and the second time, after 1992, held in MalmÃÆ'¶. SVT has expressed a desire to host the contest in a slightly smaller place than in previous years, as well as smaller neighborhoods that are easier to dedicate and decorate for the celebrations and other celebrations of the event within the host city. This is a factor in MalmÃÆ'¶ Arena's choice as the host venue, and MalmÃÆ'¶ is Sweden's third largest city by population after Stockholm and Gothenburg, two other preliminary location bidders.
SVT made the initial decision to allocate Denmark in one semi-finals and Norway in another, taking into account the number of Danish and Norwegian fans who might come, with a relatively small arena and unsuitable to accommodate fans of both countries at one semifinal event. ÃÆ'ËÅ"resund bridge was eventually also used as a major artistic medium for contest themes, as a binding cultural expression.
Bidding phase
On the final night of the 2012 Contest, SVT chief executive Eva Hamilton told Swedish media that places in Stockholm, Gothenburg and MalmÃÆ'¶ are being considered to host the 2013 Contest. One of the alternatives put forward in Expressen , is holding competitions in three different places - semi-finals in Gothenburg and MalmÃÆ'¶, and the final in Stockholm. This proposal was rejected because it is not feasible by SVT, stating that the contest will be held in only one city.
On June 20, 2012, it was announced that Gothenburg had been withdrawn from the bid process because it hosted the GÃÆ'¶teborg Horse Show in late April 2013. There were also concerns about the availability of hotel rooms due to various other events taking place in the same timeframe as Eurovision Song Contest. Executive producer for the 2013 Contest Martin Martin, sterdahl, told the Swedish press that he did not like the decision made by his previous hosts to hold a contest in the larger arena, stating that he and SVT wanted the 2013 Contest to be "closer and personal". SVT also claims that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) wants the 2013 Contest to be "smaller" due to the rising cost of the previous contest.
The following candidate cities have booked their hotels and rooms, as part of their bid to host the 2013 Contest. On July 8, 2012, MalmÃÆ'¶ Arena is confirmed as the venue for the contest. MalmÃÆ'¶ Arena is Sweden's fourth largest indoor arena, after Friends Arena, Tele2 Arena and Ericsson Globe, all located in Stockholm.

Format
The combination of televoting and jury voting results undergoes changes detailed in official rules for the 2013 contest. Each member of the jury is required to rank each song, excluding a song from their own country. The voting results of each member of the council of a particular nation are combined to produce the overall rank from first to last place. Similarly, televoting results are also interpreted as full rankings, taking into account fuller televoting than just the top ten. The combination of full-ranked judges and full-rated televote results in the overall ranking of all competing entries. The song that scored the highest overall received 12 points, while the tenth best song received 1 point. It was announced in the official Media Handbook that the official application will also be available for voters to vote through during the contest.
Official sponsors of the broadcast are the major Swedish-Telecom TeliaSonera telecommunications companies, and the German cosmetics company Schwarzkopf. Competition sponsors are IsaDora cosmetics makeup company, ICA supermarket and Tetra Pak.
Singer and actress Sarah Dawn Finer also appeared in the semifinals and finals in a sketch as a comic character Lynda Woodruff. "Lynda" voted for Sweden in the previous contest in Baku. Finer also appeared in the final as he performed the ABBA song "The Winner Take It All" before the results were announced. Zlatan Ibrahimovi footballer? was revealed on April 28 to become part of the opening segment of the final of Eurovision, in a previously recorded message welcoming viewers to his hometown MalmÃÆ'¶. 2011 Swedish participant Eric Saade is the host of the green space during the final.
Allocation of semi final draw
The draw which determines the semi-final allocation was held on 17 January 2013 at City Hall MalmÃÆ'¶. A draw at the EBU headquarters stipulates that, due to their geographical proximity to MalmÃÆ'¶, Denmark will play in the first semi-final, while Norway will be playing in the second semi-final. This provides maximum ticket availability for visitors from both countries. The EBU also allocates Israel into the second semi-final after a request from the delegation to avoid complications with national holidays coinciding with the date of the first semi-final. The remaining participating countries, excluding automatic finalists (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK), are divided into five pots, based on voting patterns from the previous nine years. Of these pots, 15 (other than Denmark) are allocated to compete in the first semi-final on 14 May 2013 and 15 (other than Norway and Israel) are allocated to compete in the second semi-final on May 16, 2013.
The pots are calculated by Digame's and Digot's televoting partners are as follows:
Running order
Unlike in previous years, the run order is not determined by drawing, but by the producers, with the aim of making the show more interesting and ensuring that all contestants have a chance to stand out, preventing similar entries from canceling each other. The decision led to mixed reactions from both participating participating and participating fans.
The sequence runs for the semi final is released on 28 March 2013. Orders that run for the final are set on May 17, 2013. The draw of additional allocations takes place for the final with each finalist country drawing to perform either in the first or second round of the final. The lottery allocation for qualified nations from the semi-finals occurred during a semi-final press conference after each semi-final, while attractive allocations for the five major powers (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and England) occurred during the first individual press conference on 15 May 2013. As the host country, the current-order position for Sweden in the final is determined exclusively by a draw during the delegation's head meeting on March 18, 2013. Sweden are keen to perform 16th in the last.
Graphic design
As mentioned earlier, SVT wants to take advantage of Malmo Arena space well to highlight the show and increase audience visibility compared to previous years. The SVT creates a main stage and a smaller stage with a higher lower shifted floor, connected by a trail surrounded by a crowd that stands from both sides and around a small stage. The main stage mobility was declared as the main artistic medium at the opening of the second half of the semifinals and by highlighting Moldova's performance towards the end, as a moveable part under the singer's dress which made it look taller gradually. The small stage mobility highlighted England's performance towards the end, lifted above a stand-up audience.
On January 17, 2013, at the semi-final allocation draw, EBU revealed a graphic design, created by a Gothenburg-based agency agency, Happy F & amp; B for the 2013 contest, featuring butterflies and the slogan "We Are One". Butterflies display a variety of colors and textures, it also represents something small that can initiate a powerful and large movement, a phenomenon known as the butterfly effect, indicating that the flap of a butterfly can start a storm.
SVT confirmed on February 19, 2013 that the postcard movie, which is used to introduce every song in the contest, will feature each artist in their respective country, to give viewers personal insights from each competing participant. It broke with the recent postcard tradition that often contained short life segments in either the host city or the state of the contest. They are produced by a company called Camp David. The on-air graph is produced by Broken Doll, a production company. Animations from many butterflies are performed by the Swiss International visual effects studio. For example, Swedish postcards feature Robin and his friends at the night market, having fun and meeting fans, while Irish postcards show Ryan along with his family. In addition to graphic design, there is a theme song for the contest entitled "Wolverine" composed by Adam Kafe, which is used in intros and between commercial breaks.
National host nationwide
On July 11, 2012, show producer Christer BjÃÆ'¶rkman advised the public not to buy tickets for the 2013 Contest that is currently in circulation and instead awaits tickets to be released through the official channels. BjÃÆ'¶rkman said that the official ticket has not been released, because the necessary decisions on the stage and seat plan have not been made. BjÃÆ'¶rkman also provides assurance that accommodation will be available, while the committee has booked a large number of hotel rooms, some can be reserved for the general public. On November 21, 2012, SVT officially announced the launch of ticket sales.
On October 17, 2012, executive producer Martin ãÆ' â € "sterdahl told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter that SVT plans to contest in 2013 to only one presenter for the entire contest, unlike previous years where there three presenters per show. The last time there was only one presenter at the 1995 Contest, in Dublin, Ireland, when the soloist was Mary Kennedy. Petra Mede was announced as the host for the 2013 contest on January 28, 2013.

It was announced on December 21, 2012 that 39 countries will compete in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013.

Incident
Azerbaijan voice block
Before the final round, Lithuanian media outlets 15 minutes released a secret video showing that representatives from Azerbaijan tried to bribe Lithuania for voice on the tele/smsvoting. This video details the plan, which involves the recruitment of each group of 10 people, and supplies them with a SIM card so they can choose multiple times during the voting window on the tele/smsvoting. It is also recommended that similar activities be undertaken in 15 countries including Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Croatia, and Switzerland. Responding to these allegations, Executive Supervisor Jon Ola Sand reiterated the contest's commitment to "fair and transparent outcomes." He stated that while Eurovision organizers are investigating the case, they "[emphasize] that the goals of these individuals have not been clarified, and that no relationship has been established between individuals in the videos and Azeri delegates, Azeri actions or EBU Azeri members, Ictimai TV. "He added that, since 1998, when he first got involved with the contest," every year there are rumors about irregularities in voting ".
The EBU then confirmed the cheating attempt in the contest, which was unsuccessful according to the EBU because the EBU system prevented fraud. According to EBU, there is no evidence that there are broadcasters involved in cheating. The rules are amended next year to ensure that all broadcasters are responsible for preventing fraud to their advantage or facing a three-year suspension if fraud is revealed. However, in May 2015, a member of the Eurovision Contest Song Reference Group confirmed that Azerbaijan had deceived and that it was organized and very expensive.
When Azerbaijan officially gives no point to Dina Garipova from Russia, although Garipova is reported to be second in the country's telephone poll, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev ordered an investigation. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that the results had been falsified, and stated that "this shameful act will not remain without response". He promised a coordinated response with his counterpart from Azerbaijan, Elmar Mammadyarov. Simultaneously, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed that his own country that did not receive points from Russia showed that the result must have been falsified. In June 2013, British participant Bonnie Tyler also claimed that he heard Russian people complain that Azerbaijan did not "give us ten points we paid." Supervisor of the show, Sietse Bakker, said that the claim is being investigated by the European Broadcasting Union.
Accusations of plagiarism
The entry of Cascada to Germany, "Glorious", was the subject of an investigation by the NDR following allegations that it was too similar to the 2012 winner, "Euphoria" by Loreen. NDR spokesman Iris Bents downplayed the allegations, stating that "Every year there is an attempt to create a scandal surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest and the participants." After an independent audit, "Glorious" was found not to plagiarize "Euphoria".
The accusation of plagiarism against the winning Danish entry came after Eric van Tijn, a renowned music producer in the Netherlands, mentioned the same flute solo with "I Surrender", a 2002 song by Dutch band K-Otic. But Eric van Tijn also stated that the flute solo is the only similarity between the two songs, calling it a "storm in a teacup".
same-sex kiss in Finland
The performance of the Finnish entry, "Marry Me", caused controversy in certain conservative countries that broadcast the contest. The act featured female singer Krista Siegfrids and one of her female backing singers kissing at the end, widely labeled in the media as Eurovision's first "lesbian kiss". Siegfrids told the media that the move was done to encourage Finland to legalize same-sex marriage. It was reported that Turkish and Greek media reacted negatively to Siegfrid's actions. According to Gay Star News, Turkish broadcaster Eurovision TRT, who had previously retreated from competing in the contest for 2013, initially indicated that they would still broadcast the contest, but made the final decision not to do so. A number of media reports directly linked this decision with a kiss in a Finnish show, although the TRT stated the reason was a low watch figure for the contest. In China, it was completely removed from pre-recorded broadcasts due to the branch of television censorship in Mainland China.
Eric Saade
Green space host Eric Saade referred to Petra Mede as "MILF" in the air during the break between the first and second half of the vote, saying "Back to you, Petra. # MILF". When the announcer for the United Kingdom, the BBC aired this, the sound was gone. It is still unknown if this is just an accident, or if the BBC does it on purpose. While the statement was allegedly written and SVT was aware of Saade's plans, some in social media were confused and offended by the comment.
