30 May 2010
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.”
