The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 will be the 54th Eurovision Song Contest, scheduled to take place between the 12 May and 16 May 2009.[1] It will be held in Russia following its victory in the 2008 contest in Belgrade, Serbia with Dima Bilan's "Believe".[3] Final conformation of the host venue by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has not yet occurred. It has been proposed by the host broadcaster, Channel One Russia, that the contest be held in the Olimpiisky Indoor Arena within Moscow. This proposal is currently being evaluated by the EBU.[2]

Format

Discussion on the format of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest took place at a EBU meeting in Athens, Greece in June 2008. A proposal has been made that could result in the "Big Four" countries (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) losing their automatic place in the final of the contest.[4]
