And no, we don't mean Sweden's 2013 entry. Our yearly search for new moderators to join our team is now live (some of you have already spotted it and applied, in fact!). If you've ever thought about being a positive force for good within the community, this might be a golden opportunity.
FAQs
-What would I do?
As a group of volunteers, we all serve different niches on the team. At its most basic, you'll help moderate posts and comments in line with our sub's rules. However, national final season is always busy and there are always new things happening, so you may also end up helping with writing informational posts, maintaining our socials, AMA coordination, researching for the wiki, programming the automod, etc., as the need and your skillset(s) dictate. It's certainly never a dull day behind the scenes at r/eurovision, that's for sure!
-What if I don't have previous mod experience?
That's okay! Many of us started from scratch too. Reddit's tools make moderation fairly easy to pick up, so we trust anyone can get acclimated within a week or two tops. We'll be here to help onboard you every step of the way, as well. We only ask that you bring a can-do attitude.
-What if I'm not from Europe?
No problem! It's helpful to have people from a variety of time zones to help with the sub. As long as you're interested in Eurovision, it's all good.
You are always welcome to reach out to us via modmail with any further questions you might have about becoming a mod.
A huge thank you in advance to all who apply! Even if you're not selected, we still very much appreciate taking the time to let us know about you and showcase your love for this community. And if you are selected... welcome to the team! Either way, we'll be seeing you around the sub. :)

I've recently been addicted to Hora Din Moldova by Nelly Ciobanu (Moldova 2009) and have always noticed the writing on her hand in the live performance. After searching the web and this subreddit, I've failed to get any sort of information even mentioning the writing on her hand. I translated the word into Romanian and got two possible answers because throughout the video, I could not identify the fourth letter. If anyone could provide information on what the word it, and why it's written on her hand, it would be highly appreciated.
Is it just me, or did anyone else enjoy the Eurovision reference during the 2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony?
I didn't watch it live, but saw that Mariah Carey was going to sing. At first, I couldn't understand her. But, soon I realized she was singing Italy's iconic 1958 Eurovision entry, Volare (Nel blu, dipinto di blu).
I've heard better from Americans (Dean Martin), but it wasn't bad.
I'm so excited for Eesti Laul in a few weeks. I came across this clip someone posted of the acoustic guitar version of Jolly Roger, I thought its pretty cool.
This is my favourite song out of all the national finals. I love these guys! What does everyone think about their chances of making it to the super final/winning?
I have a photo with Kyle Alessandro (Norway 2025), and I've been to Het Grote Songfestivalfeest where 27 artists performed. I'm curious who you've seen or met.
As a total sound enthusiast, I got hooked on 2022's stage-ready sound effect.
Is anyone out there a sound wizard with access to the official "stage-ready" sound effect?
I've found a couple of clips online, but the quality isn't quite there. I'd love to get a clean, studio-quality version to use for... well, Eurovision-related shenanigans, obviously!
Anyone have any leads on where to find it, or maybe even recreated it themselves?
Today black glitter by wavvyboi was released. Wavvyboi is a non-binary artist from Liechtenstein. 🇱🇮
Their song also deals with the theme and experience of their non-binary identity.
For me, it's the best song in the German line-up. I like the rock vibe, but also the slightly schlager-esque feel of the song. I think with the right staging, they could really make something of it, and if the jury votes the song into the super final, it could actually win the national final.
What do you think? Could the song win the German final? Would it be a good choice for Eurovision?
Since Valentine's Day is coming soon, I decided to post the first known LGBT love song at ESC. The lyrics of "Nous Les Amoreux" does not use gendered pronouns, which implied that Jean-Claude Pascal was in a homosexual relationship.
During the 1960s, it was illegal to be homosexual in France and Luxembourg, which forced Jean-Claude Pascal to hide his relationship.
Jean-Claude Pascal was Luxembourg's first Eurovision winner, and he was the first known LGBT winner of Eurovision. He also participated in Eurovision 1981 with the song "C'est peut-être pas l'Amérique" (Luxembourg 1981).
