It’s September 1 and the Eurovision New Year has ARRIVED. Songs that are released from today can be submitted for Eurovision 2026 in Vienna.
So we have to ask: What do you hope to see at the song contest in 2026 and on the road to Vienna?
Perhaps you want a country to win for the very first time. Albania, Armenia, Australia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Georgia, Iceland, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Poland, Romania, San Marino, Slovenia….they’re all waiting for their moment!
Or perhaps you want to see more returning countries. Slovakia, Moldova, Romania, Turkey and so many others have said goodbye in the past 15 years. Will any make a surprise return?
Only two of the past five winners — Måneskin from Italy and Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine — sang in their native language. Perhaps you want to see another language represented at the top of the podium again. If so, which one?
Maybe you’re a member of the press and dream of a slightly beefed up press centre, one that is actually open during the first week. Or maybe you simply want to do your work in peace, noting that “work” in the digital age includes things like livestreams…
Do you dream of a scandal-free voting segment? A controversy-free year? A return to the old logo?
Whatever your wish, we want to hear it. Shout out your Eurovision wishes below and let’s dream together!
