The Eurovision Song Contest 2011 will be the 56th annual Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will take place in Germany, as it was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the singer Lena Meyer-Landrut. Preliminary dates for the two semi-finals have been set as 17 May and 19 May 2011, with the final planned for the evening of 21 May 2011.[1]
Historical importance
The 2011 contest will be the third time Germany has hosted the Eurovision Song Contest (previously in 1957[2] and 1983[3]). Another notable fact is of the three times Germany will have hosted this will be the first as a unified country.
Germany is also the first Big Four country to win the contest since the introduction of the Big Four rule in 2000. Since the statutes of the contest don't provide for this scenario, it is as yet unclear whether the next highest winning country will be the fifth team to automatically qualify for the final, should they choose to enter, or whether the final will simply be limited to 24 contestants.
