Lena from Germany wins 
the 55th Eurovision Song Contest  

Oslo, Sunday 30 May 2010–  Lena from Germany has won the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest with the song Satellite

Lena received 246 points for the song Satellite written and composed by Julie Frost and John Gordon. The winner claimed victory in front of a live audience of over 18,000 at the Telenor Arena, in Oslo and millions watched on TV and online all over the world. Twenty-five countries participated in the Final. 

The Final was transmitted live by television broadcasters over the Eurovision network, and over the Euroradio network, to Europe and beyond.

Viewers from the 39 countries who participated voted for their favourite song through a pan-European televoting system. Furthermore, professional juries from each of those countries determined 50% of the results in the two Semi-Finals and the Final. 

The EBU's Executive Supervisor, Svante Stockselius, complimented the Host Broadcaster, NRK, “We are very pleased with the NRK production. The new ideas of the NRK team and the execution of those ideas really brought the Eurovision Song Contest to a new level. NRK produced three world-class entertainment shows which shows how the Eurovision Song Contest sets new standards for live entertainment.”

The show was opened by last year’s winner, Alexander Rybak, together with families all over Europe wishing their country the best of luck. The interval act featured the so-called Eurovision Flash Mob Dance which involved thousands of people dancing to the same song, with live links from Azerbaijan to Germany.

The winner received the Eurovision Song Contest trophy and the broadcaster of the winning country will have the chance to organise next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
