Some days ago the allocation draw took place. Now we already know which country will participate in which half of which Semi-Final on 10th and 12th May 2016.

Since 2004 it's a tradition that every Eurovision season gets a new slogan. For the 60th anniversary in Vienna ORF chose "Building Bridges". Now we know the slogan and new logo for 61st Eurovision Song Contest - SVT, Swedish broadcaster, chose "Come Together". This slogan is a message of unity.

"We believe that the idea of unity is as important today as it was in the 1950s when the Eurovision Song Contest started. The Eurovision Song Contest is never about borders, politics or ideologies. It is about reaching across all the boundaries that separates us human beings from each other". explained Martin Österdahl (ESC 2016, Executive Producer) about the slogan.
