How Many Countries Taking Part In Eurovision 2024?
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) hosts the annual Eurovision Song Contest, a televised songwriting competition.
37 artists will compete in the 2024 competition, selected by EBU member broadcasters to represent their nation.
Original music with a maximum duration of three minutes is required. No more than six singers and dancers may occupy the stage at once during the performance; lead vocals must be done live.
Most nations competing in Eurovision are in Europe. However, Australia competes annually after receiving an invitation to enter a performance in the 2015 competition as part of the 60th-anniversary festivities it.
Australia, though, is unable to host. Should it ever triumph, it would have to choose a country in Europe to host the competition on its behalf.
Israel and other non-European nations are permitted to take part since they are EBU members
