Eurovision Song Contest is known all over the world. It is the brightest event in the spring. The participating countries begin preparing for it in advance: some organize competitions among performers within their own country, while others are guided by the popularity of artists.

Eurovision yesterday, today, tomorrow. Competition Transformation
In the first year of its existence, Eurovision was unifying and entertaining in nature. Tired of wartime, people wanted to take a break from the vanity of everyday life.
Now Eurovision is a rather shocking contest, which is often accused of bias, politicization, and sometimes immorality. However, despite the change in focus, Eurovision is becoming brighter and better from year to year. It is important to note that the competition outgrew the previously designated framework - singing competitions among representatives of the adult population. This is evidenced by the list of winners of the Eurovision Song Contest throughout history.
Since 2003, the children's Eurovision song contest has been held. It is an analogue of an adult with the only difference: age restriction to 15 years. The list of winners of the Junior Eurovision has already entered 12 names. Its main difference from the adult counterpart is the presence of an annual changing slogan (the only year in which it was absent is 2010).
