Eurovision
Europe's Biggest Song Contest

By , About.com Guide

The European music contest Eurovision is passionately followed in Greece, especially since Helena Paparizou won in 2005 and Kalomira took third place in 2008.

The Eurovision Official Website has additional schedule details for next year; these will become final closer to the event.

Musical groups from dozens of nations participate, chosen by competitions in their home countries that are nearly as passionate as the Eurovision contest itself.

For a taste of something similar to what you may see this year, watch some of Helena Paparizou's award-winning video. Note: this is not the version from Eurovision itself, which can only be seen on a paid download.
